Basically, I’m great in a pub quiz for all those really obscure questions, but shit on anything about current tv or celebrities.

That would make one hell of a pub quiz. 🤣 

 @c09f86d3 My favourite is inheritance tax laws from 15 years ago. 

 @c09f86d3 

yeah, done the travel distance thing in pre-industrial times: on foot, mule, horse, wagon, boat, steamboat, ship.

Folk tales are a favourite too, The Watkins Book of English Folktales is invaluable.
