Relive the worst year in living memory by taking a fun quiz
This is the last Pub Quiz of 2020, and thank heavens for that. This year has been almost intolerably hard for so many of us, but while we’re by no means out of the woods yet, there is hope ahead of us.
But let’s cast our minds back across the last 12 months. In a year that felt like a decade, so many harrowing, incredible, unbelievable things happened that you can hardly believe they all happened in 2020. But they did, and we’re going to test you on them.
While time is an illusion and viruses have no respect for the Gregorian calendar, let’s put this year behind us and look forward to more prosperous times.
Have a safe and happy new year, everyone. Let’s see what 2021 brings.
