I generally reckon to be a bit of a wiz at geography. It was my favourite school subject; atlases are my favourite books. They fire my imagination. I could close my eyes, stick a pin in a map of the world then look: "I'm going to go there". I still haven't been to Siberia. I fondly remember when maps were covered in pink for the British Empire. Ah the good old days. Nowadays only St Helena. And a few other tiny dots on the maps, so small you can't see they're pink. In a pub quiz team I can specialise in geography, history, politics and football. Popular music and culture, not so much, which is a problem since that's 90% of pub quiz questions.
I digress. This week's quiz subject is Geography. Enjoy!

Question 2: What is the deepest lake in the world?
Question 3: Which is the smallest country by population in Europe?

I did this on your brother in arms. He didn’t get any. Ha ha. He said A it was too hard. B how is anybody expected to know that C that’s bloody ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI however got two right. Vatican City (But you guessed that didn’t you? It came up in the Italian Ladies charity quiz night last year. And San Salvador.
The rest of the answers I googled and I reckon I’ll forget them very quickly.
