The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz


Recommended Posts

Going back to 2006 the original thread said:

 

"I'm going to ask a question, whoever answers correctly can post the next question and so on...

 

Rule 1 - No googling!

 

Rule 2 - Try and keep your question at the level someone in a pub quiz might be able to answer..."

 

I think we may at times be drifting away from "the level someone in a pub quiz might be able to answer"!

Who knows, since you can't smoke in pubs anymore, maybe they've become full of non-smoking intellectual Mensa gurus trying to get away from the washing up?

I'll leap in with a question as NB's gone off-grid. There used to be 20 or more up and down the country, but only 6 are known to remain. One of them is beside a road in Norfolk and it's known as the Langham Dome. But what was the Langham Dome used for? I'll drip-feed clues 'til someone gets it. A bit of kit ahead of its time.

War history hopefully paying off here, they where used to train anti aircraft gunners during the war. Images projected in the inside and the trainees used lights to hit the targets.

Maybe someone needs to set a new question.........

 

In which year does New Years day and Christmas day happen in the same year?

 

Every year!

 

Sorry all - missed the ding (and several reminders......)

 

Name the city that was served by Dum Dum airport until 1995, when the airport underwent a name change.
