Welcome to the first instalment of the UKSTAR Weekly Pub Quiz. For the next 5 weeks, we will host the most challenging, cunning pub quiz you can imagine.
The Pub quiz is a British institution in itself. The Pub Quiz became popular in the early 1970’s and has remained so since. It is common to find most local pubs in Britain host a weekly pub quiz with different question rounds on topics like history, sports, politics geography and more.
As we want to acknowledge our host city and country, expect questions on the famous British personalities, London landmarks, London’s sports teams and more. Some of the answers you may know, some you might have to research.

Nice comp guys. Good mixture of questions incorporating the programme
Hi,
There’s no subjective question to be interpreted to differentiate people that responded correctly to all of the above.
So how is a winner obtained?
Is it the fastest to have answered correctly to all the questions?
Is it fair, if it is this way, to let people answer the questions for 7 days when the winner was already established a few minutes after the quiz was posted?
Hi Stefan,
It is not the fastest. If there are a number of people that have the most right answers, the winner will be selected by random so everyone that gets say 100% if that is the highest score will have an equal chance of winning that week.
The questions are done in the style and spirit of a pub quiz hence no subjective questions.It is hard today to have any series of questions online with the answers very easy to find.
We hope that by including some images, we might be able to make it a small bit harder.
