a the knowledge quiz

It’s Sunday, week 499 of lockdown, or so it seems. Which means yet another week of no Fagan’s theme quiz.

This week, we’ve been on holiday (from work) and noticed that Fagan’s is open again. Could this be that last Not The Fagan’s Quiz?

Its the usual 20 questions, again. But, I have to own up to pilfering this quiz from a taxi driver friend of mine, so the format is a bit different. By which I mean cryptic!

This week, it’s a straight through 20 questions, answers of which are simply linked by the theme – Sheffield taxi driver “the knowledge”

There are no “sound-a-likes” or embedded words.

The use of electronic devices to divine the answers, with the exception of hearing aids and pacemakers, is forbidden.

Arty!
