The Quiz that was Fixed

As promised, here is the story of the quiz that was fixed. Not exactly on the same scale as the recent scandal surrounding premium telephone number scams on ITV but shocking nonetheless.

Spent some time with a South African chap and his wife and the last night we were together in our favourite bar he was approached by one of the waiting staff who invited him to complete the entry card for the evening's quiz. The question was on the ongoing world cup cricket being played out in the West Indies. This is the shocking part, he didn't know the answer but was told that he shouldn't worry as he's won anyway.

What?! A fixed pub quiz?

They helped him with the answer and he pushed his card through the slot of the box holding the other entry.

After a while, one of the other waiting staff said that Wendy, waitress one, was calling his name down at the other end of the room. She came down to our end and presented the "winner" with his prize: a rather large box of packets of instant noodles! Phew!

Corruption in low places! No offence!!
