There's a difference between hearing someone's name, even frequently, and having any idea who they are.

Agreed, I think most of us still have no idea what the Kardigans do, despite them being splashed all over the tabloids every day.

Q: The first PUBLIC HOLIDAY after Christmas Day shares its name with which sport? So, Easter is probably the next "big holiday" but Boxing Day and indeed New Year's day are both national holidays between the two. |

Fifteen To One (02/06/16)
Q : Who provided the voice of Penfold to David Jason's Dangermouse in the original series. A : Bernard Manning. Baron Silas Greenback walks in to a pub .......... I can't say I know the answer to that one; having never seen Dangermouse. There was one on The Chase yesterday - Paul was asked (and I can't remember the name!) something about the names of two drinks are types of what? His answer was water. Admittedly, I didn't know the answer; but my answer wouldn't have been water. |

It would be if it was spoken, because there is barely any difference in pronunciation between Royal and Royle. If written, then no excuse!

It was Laurent-Perrier, under pressure Paul just went for the "perrier" part. He said straightaway that only he could think that water was alcoholic

The Queen is obviously the head of the Royal family. Why would anyone assume that anybody is the head of a normal family?

Well JR was shot 35+ Years ago in Dallas, JFK was shot 50+ years ago in Dallas. Somebody of a certain age could very easily confuse the two especially these days.

You really haven't ever heard the phrase head of the family/household before?

Really, this was an old football trick question, and the original version was: "Which was the last member of the royal family to play at Wembley?", to which the answer was Joe Royle for Manchester City in the 1976 league cup final. Yes, it's that old, but makes more sense than this version tbh.
