I really don't see why you have to make stuff American centric. Here in Baltimore we have one place that does a pub quiz. Me and a few other expats have entered their quiz twice. We won on both occasions, :D despite questions littered with Baseball, NASCAR and other sundry Americentricities.

Anyway, World Capitals (or even State Capitals) are always a safe bet. As are world currencies etc etc etc....

Actually I'm trying to make it Anglocentric. The're a bunch of Americans being invited to a Brits house for a Pub Quiz - the're expecting a Brit theme.

The furthest from the sea you can get in the Uk is

a. 240 miles
b. 200 miles
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..."

Wow - its a shock to me too

Good question though

I know this sounds easy but half of them do not know what the Union Jack is in the first place.


Might be easier if you called it by it's proper name. It's only a union jack when it's flown on the jack mast of a ship otherwise it'a a union flag.
