Derb, people like the old sports fellow are still common in Britain. For instance, may I introduce you to my old friend Kevin Ashman? One of the nicest people I ever met in the world of competitive general-knowledge quizzing, there is very little he doesn’t know. And it looks like there are now European and World Championships, something I’d never have dared dream of when I was, erm, Vice-Chairman of the Quiz League of London.
