Some of you may know that Low and I are in the West Cumbrian Quiz League and when I can I swipe the questions after the match for Rexi. Hoochie suggested some of you may like to have a bash at them.

Occasionally we have argued questioned the answers, so if any of the answers are not accurate...I didn't set them  try not to google    We won 41-28, I know there are a few question local to our area, it's not always like this, but I've left them in. 

Answers tomorrow, but I'm sure you'll all google, I would
