Re: British Pub Quiz
What are the colours of the Union Jack?
red, white & blue
I know this sounds easy but half of them do not know what the Union Jack is in the first place.

c. 140 mile
d. 70 miles
I suspect the answer would come as a shock to many Americans (its d)
I need help with some of the false answers to " a snog is a..."
