We’re almost there guys. 2022 is departing from the stage, making way for 2023.
What a year it’s been. It may not have all been good (let’s be honest, a lot of it wasn’t) but it was certainly never dull.
So let’s see how much of it you remember. Cue a lot of ‘wow, that was this year? That feels like so long ago’ reactions as we take you through the last 12 months in the only way we know how – with a quiz.
Finally, a thank you to every single one of you who have quizzed with us this year. I hope you can finish the quizzing year on a high, and we’ll see you in 2023!
