So anyway going back to that supermarket.  When I went to the check-out, the woman that served me had been in a pub a few nights before . . . . . . .

Oh well, the secret’s out, yes I went out AGAIN with sis.  This time we decided to catch a taxi up to another local pub for a couple of drinks.

When we got there we remarked on how busy the pub was and commented on the fact that the ‘no-smoking’ ban didn’t seem to be harming trade.  It was also VERY pleasant not to go home smelling of cigarette smoke.  (This is one of the reasons I could always find an excuse not to go to a pub.)

Anyway, over the tannoy it was announced that it was quiz night.  Aaahhh, so that was the reason why. Sis and I looked at each other and decided to enter ourselves as a team even though there were only two of us.

We picked a table near the questioneers (or whatever you call them) and duly started on the quiz.  We didn’t do too bad considering what knowledge we had between us.

We were slightly heartened when 3 men sat down at the next table as the sports round came up but when we asked them if they knew any of the answers, smiling they looked at their round tummies, and said "do we look like we know anything about sport?"

Oh well, they did try to help us out.

Anyway to cut a long story short we came joint bottom. Hurrah.  We thought there might have been a booby prize for being last but alas our short comings did us no good.

We were really pleased at the result, because to us, if you’re going to fail - do it in style.  We would have been disappointed to have come somewhere in the middle. 

When we got home hubby remarked that some people live for quizzes and only go out with the aim of winning, so not to be down on our result.  (We weren’t!)

So going back to the supermarket.  I asked the woman at the checkout if she had enjoyed the quiz night and I commented on the fact that I’d seen her in there. 

"How did you do?" I asked.  "We came third" she said a little disappointed. She then went on to tell me that her team was thinking of changing their name as they’d had it for some time.

Tittering, I then said "we came joint last".  She looked at me as if to say "and you’re pleased with that are you?"  without actually saying the words.

Needless to say I don’t think we’ll be getting an invite to join her team.
