Quizzed off
I am sure that I moaned about the quiz question a couple of years ago about which is the first country beginning with C, alphabetically.
The alleged answer wasn't even consistent - the setter reckoned that Cambodia was the 'Republic of Cambodia', ignoring that his preferred answer was also a 'Something of Somewhere'.
The actual answer, according to the UN, is...?
I was reminded of this by tonight's quiz, which is relying on the dire TV version of the original 'Halloween' being canon. Fuck off...

Yes, Jarrow is the north bit of Gateshead, the Tyne does bend down, and Jesmond is south-ish Newcastle-upon-Tyne so they do overlap in latitude, but Wikipedia - the definitive source for this quiz and the one he is using - has a more northerly OS grid reference for Jesmond: 54.98xxx degrees north vs 54.979xx degrees north.
