Pub Quiz

As you know I am in a local Village Pub Quiz team and once a month on a Friday we meet at the pub and test our wits, (finally an outlet for all those random factoids I've accumulated over the years).

We have never come lower than third and last time we WON! WOO HOO! Anyway I thought I'd share the quiz for a bit of fun and you can see how many you got right. There are two parts - a general quiz and then a picture quiz. I'll post the answers below too!
