What is the history of the pub quiz?
The pub quiz is believed to have originated from a company called Burns and Porter, which would share its quizzes in the 1970s in order to encourage more regular visitors.
The regular pub quizzes saw pub numbers rise from 30 teams a week to a peak of 10,000 teams.
Burns and Porter went on to publish their own line of pub quiz books and would continue to host weekly quizzes.

Bishop in dressing gown tells choir to stop 'terrible racket' and leave church
A grumpy bishop in a dressing gown and bare feet told a choir in London to stop their 'terrible racket' and get out of his church. Jonathan Baker, the Bishop of Fulham, turned up as City Academy Voices were nearing the end of their concert, grabbed a microphone and demanded the performers and 300-strong audience leave. The bishop, who had also switched the lights off, told those gathered at St Andrew's Church in Holborn: 'You are in my house. It's gone past 10pm and this is a terrible racket.' As murmurs of disbelief were heard, he repeated: 'Goodnight. You are in my house – can you leave it now please. Thank you, it's over.' The incident was filmed and shared on social media, and has now had more than 400,000 views. After the bishop moved away from the stage, a church employee took themicrophone and asked the crowd to leave quietly because 'this is a residential home'. She was met with boos and jeers. According to a post under the video on TikTok, the concert was supposed to finish at 10pm and overran slightly due to technical issues. However the space was booked till 11pm. @Katiegeek wrote: 'We've sang here as a choir numerous times before with no problem! 'We had the space booked until 11pm – there was no earlier curfew of any kind. The concert should have finished by 10 (given our running order) but tech issues meant we were a little later. 'BUT we had every contractual right to still be there AND still be singing!! 'He interrupted in the middle of our last number – turning the lights off and getting on the stage in his dressing gown and barefoot! 'There were numerous people trying to talk to him offstage so he will have been made aware that we only had a few minutes left – and that we had every right to still be there.' She said there were 300 people in the audience who had all paid £20 each to be there. In the end, choir, who sing classical, choral, musical theatre and pop, walked out while singing Abba's 'Dancing Queen'. '(It) was supposed to be our encore so we started singing that on the way out – to try and leave the concert on a better note after the utterly BIZARRE behaviour of the interrupting bishop!!!' Benedict Collins, who was in the audience with his ten-year-old daughter, said he initially thought the interruption was a staged joke. 'The church willingly rents out the premises for performances, for money,' he told Sky News. 'They can hardly be surprised if they take bookings for concerts and there is music in the hall.' The choir's director, Leigh Stanford Thompson, described the incident as 'bizarre' and said the choir also thought at first it was a 'comedy act'. 'We all went out to the pub afterwards and took it all in. Everyone was in astonishment really,' he told the Guardian. More Trending 'I do find it funny. I'm not particularly upset. We had a really good concert but I think it's a real shame that we didn't get a chance to finish. 'But now looking back, what a way to go out.' One member of the choir said the bishop's comment about the singing being a 'racket' did not sit well because 'I think we produce a beautiful sound'. A diocese of London spokesman told the Guardian: 'Bishop Jonathan reached out to the organisers on Saturday to apologise for his late-night appearance at the concert, which he now understands had overrun due to earlier technical difficulties.'

Woman recreates discontinued sweet and savoury Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar
Cadbury is one of the most popular UK chocolate brands but some of its products have been discontinued, so one woman shared her recreation of her 'favourite' bar that is no longer available There are plenty of chocolate brands in the UK but Cadbury is a firm favourite. It's most known for its classic Dairy Milk bar but it also has some new flavours and limited edition products, including Cadbury Dairy Milk Iced Latte and Cadbury Dairy Milk Biscoff. Other popular chocolate bars that come under the Cadbury brand are Wispa, Twirl, Crunchie, Freddo and Flake. For celebrations or groups, the company offers gift boxes, like Roses, Heroes and Milk Tray. Cadbury offers chocolates with a range of flavours from caramel to orange to fruit and nut combinations, and sadly over the years some fan favourites have been discontinued with foodies eager to see them return to supermarket shelves. One example is Cadbury Ritz, a collaboration between the confectionary company and Ritz crackers. According to Discontinued Snacks, this product came in single 35g bars or a multipack with several bars of this size. The bar, which was introduced in 2014, looked like small Ritz rectangular crackers coated in Cadbury milk chocolate. A hobby baker and foodie called Paige loved this sweet treat and shared a video on TikTok creating her own version. In the clip she declared: 'You're wrong if you don't agree that Ritz and Dairy Milk brought out the best chocolate bar but I've had enough of waiting so I had to make my own.' She added: 'Believe it or not, this chocolate bar got discontinued in 2018 and not a day goes by where I don't think about it.' Paige said she has tried others that are similar but found nothing comes close to the original Cadbury and Ritz version. Luckily, she managed to make her own version by sandwiching Ritz crackers in cupcake cases with Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate in the middle for the filling. Paige melted the chocolate and poured it over the bottom cracker in each cupcake wrapper before adding another cracker on top and then putting the treats in the fridge to allow the chocolate to set and harden. The foodie remarked they're 'so easy and quick to make with only two ingredients' and shared she is 'obsessed'. She described them as 'everything I have been craving for all these years'. She also pleaded with Dairy Milk and Ritz to 'please bring that chocolate bar' since it was her 'absolute favourite". Her TikTok video has attracted thousands of views, likes and more than a hundred comments. Some viewers disagreed with Paige's choice to use the cheese flavoured Ritz crackers instead of the salted ones but the chocolate-fan revealed in the comments section they were 'honestly still so good". One user said: 'I didn't expect the cheesy Ritz. I'm down to give it a go, but perhaps I'll just make a couple and do the rest as original.' A different viewer, who was pleased to see Paige's video, added: 'Omg I'm so glad I've seen this, I thought I was imagining the Ritz Dairy Milk as nobody knew what I was talking about! I'm so going to make these thank you!' A third reported: 'Just made them with my daughters! So good.' Someone else chimed in: 'Omg as a vegan who always wanted to try those bars this is genius. I need to try these with vegan chocolate.'

Brit comedian 'could be jailed' for three years in Turkey after 'embarrassing mistake'
Cerys Nelmes, a stand-up comic, claims that she walked out of a Zara shop in Turkey without paying and although returning and owning up to her error, she was arrested. A British comedian who walked out of a Turkish Zara store without paying could face up to three years behind bars, despite going back to apologise upon realising her mistake. On July 22, Cerys Nelmes, a stand-up comic from Bristol, said it was a mistake and claimed she left the store with clothes before realising she had not gone through the till. After returning to the store to hand back the items and offering to pay, Nelmes says she was instead detained, locked in a room for hours without explanation, and eventually arrested for shoplifting, reports the Mirror. She said she was taken to a police station, pressured to sign documents in a language she could not read, and held in a cell for 24 hours with no food, water or a toilet. She said: "I was told they didn't understand me." The next day, she was brought before a judge who released her but banned her from leaving the country. She now faces a potential three-year sentence as the case proceeds. Nelmes says she is stranded in Turkey, unable to afford accommodation and missing out on work back home, putting her and her son at risk of losing their UK home. She said: "I'm ok and have been taken in by a Turkish family who gave me food and a bed. I don't deserve all the kind words from people but I am very grateful." Recounting what happened, she said that she had left the store with several items of clothing before realising her error. Despite returning to the store, claiming she had returned the items and wanted to pay, Nelmes was seized for shoplifting. The English stand-up comic explained the incident in a social media post saying: "On Tuesday I left a Zara store in Istanbul without paying for items. "I returned straight away and handed the items to staff. I was asked to pay and I said I would and the manager accepted this. To cut a long story short I was then taken to a locked room where hours later after no communication from anyone I was taken away by police and held in a police station and was asked to sign things I couldn't read. "I was put in a prison cell for 24 hours with no food or toilet facilities. When I asked for water, I was told they didn't understand me. "I was handcuffed and taken for fingerprints and mugshots at 3am. I was handcuffed and taken to court the following day and put in a cell. "I appeared before the judge and was told by a translator that I was released, but unable to leave Turkey for an undetermined amount of time. He said I was lucky to not be put in prison but I currently face up to three years. I have to report to a local police station every Monday. "I am lucky I have good friends in Turkey who are currently looking after me, and trying to translate the paperwork. I have no money, no earnings coming in from home, and I am running out of important medication. I will lose my home which I share with my son, and livelihood. "I am not looking for sympathy. I made a mistake which I tried to immediately rectify. I am embarrassed for my friends, my family, and I have made my 78-year-old mum unwell. I will never forgive myself for what I have done. "I believe I did it for mental health medical problems, but ultimately there is no excuse." The comedian has asked for public support as the ongoing court proceedings are causing her to lose work and earnings. The British Embassy said in a short statement that they are providing their support. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
