17 pub quiz questions to put your general knowledge to the test - October 21

Everyone loves the classic pub quiz, and there's no better way to ease into the weekend than by giving one a go.

Every Friday at the ECHO, we roll out our own version of the old faithful quiz, and it's time again to flex your knowledge and see just how clever you really are. We all think we're pretty adept at quizzing, and we've all shouted correct answers at our television screens when tuning into popular shows like The Chase, Tipping Point or Pointless.

But how many of us can tackle an entire quiz successfully? If you think your encyclopaedic knowledge could rival a Chaser's, then sit back and put yourself to the test. If your brain is packed with random facts and impressive special subjects, then this week's quiz could be exactly what you're looking for.

Be honest and let us know in the comments how well you did - no cheating! You can also tweet us @echowhatson or get in touch via our Facebook page.
