Dear Reader,

Just eight sleeps to go. You may have your turkey ordered, but I’m wondering if you’ve sorted your family Christmas quiz yet? If not I’m giving you all the gift of the C&TH 2023 one to amuse/ occupy/ enrage/ entertain you and yours between mouthfuls of crumbling mince pies and pint glasses of prosecco. It had its maiden run at our Christmas party this week and went down a storm. There are 60 questions, from the sublime to the ridiculous, with answers included below. I’d love to know how you get on. Enjoy!

Have a great week.
