Happy birthday Chris Hewlett
I was going to write something here about the coronavirus and the absolutely tragic state we find ourselves in, with the Daily Mail ordering teachers to “be heroes” and return to work in an unsafe environment. With the death toll still rising and the government reportedly scrapping the scheme that put homeless people up in hotels. But you’re sick of that. Fair enough. That’s not what you come to the quiz for.
Instead I’m going to wish a very happy 40th birthday to Chris Hewlett, who I’m told is top of the quiz rankings in his office and loves Manchester United. Well done mate.
