Ooh ooh Greyling.
I only know one answer, I think it is mousetrap for the longest running play. At least I think it is in London.

Give it a few more days Greyling, because people tend to not do the pub quizes over the weekend.

I unfortunately posted mine, before I saw yours.
So no one can play mine, until yours is finished!

But we can give it a few more days if you like although it may ruin your chances of running off with the trophy now that you're in the lead with 1 correct answer ;D
