As I’m strapped for time today, in lieu of my usual daily vignettes of questionable observations, I’m forwarding the two rounds of questions I wrote for yesterday evenings Zoom quiz.
The first ten questions penned for a fictional ‘True or False’ round, in which I unapologetically make a series of absurdly untrue claims in the aim of imparting levity.
The second list of catechisms a multiple choice round where participants are asked to guess Argos products from the warehouse code provided. I’ve highlighted the correct answer. Enjoy……..
