British Pub Quiz
 
Mrs Rompers is hosting a Brit pub quiz for some friends and yours truly has been tasked with producing the questions. I know there are loads of web sites that do this but I wanted to tap into the endless reservoir of intelligence, sophistication and wit that is BritishExpats.com :)

Best Brit pub quiz questions below please (remembering that they have to be answerable by Americans ;) )

I thank you.

Notice the question similarity you are hosting a quiz night in a british pub but all the questions are American ... hahaha

you should ask a question like how many sq ft is the UK made up of.
no Seriously you are going to have to think like an American and ask yourself what do the Americans know about the British.. LONDON, QUEEN, BEATLES.
