Tom's Chilly Start 2009 Quiz

For us here in Redbridge, UK, it has been a very chilly start to 2009. February looks set to snow us all in - so, to take ours and your mind off the inclement weather outside; wrap up warm and be prepared to bring a cosy and comforting warm tingle to your brain as you attempt to solve Tom's latest quiz.

Tom has put together another twenty general knowledge questions designed to get your "thinking cap" spontaneously combusting with a highly enjoyable hour or two of over work! (Mine went up in smoke ages ago from trying to answer Tom's earlier quizzes!!!)

The answer to each question can be found by clicking the "answer box" to the right of your selected question - but, don't cheat by clicking the box before you have worked out the answer - it's not really cricket you know!!

When you have read the answer, click the box again to close the answer, in case someone else reads it over your shoulder before they themselves attempt the quiz!
