Well what an interesting night, and not just because I fell asleep on the train home and ended up in an old people’s home in Gillingham at three o’clock this morning. No, interesting because Time Out readers came in their droves to our quiz and proved our platform to be correct - that is, they are clued-up bright and generally the best people in London - by displaying an astounding amount of knowledge about our fair city.
This wasn’t any old quiz but a fiendishly tough one devised and delivered by Marcus Berkmann, the master of the form and author of the rightly lauded ‘Prince of Wales Quiz Book’. Thanks to everyone that came but since you had a free drink, I am informed by the electoral commission that it would be a criminal offence if I then asked you to vote for me. So don’t, ah, vote for me (if you get my drift).
Read what the crack team of London bloggers had to say about the evening (and their less-than-perfect performance!)
And there’s a report from the Word magazine’s admirable team who are still deluding themselves they came joint third. In reality, they fell at the final tiebreaker hurdle and missed out on a slap-up meal for six at the Wagamama of their choice.

We wuz robbed
Thanks for the post Michael - if people want the direct link to our strategy of pub quiz failure (it was a cunning plot as we deliberately meant to come last)
What you really needed was more London Underground questions - oh yeah - you had some didn’t you and we didn’t even get them right D’OH
Anyway it was highly enjoyable night and we’re deffo on for next year’s.
