It’s that time of year again! I’m away to Jura for Christmas tomorrow so posting – indeed internet access – is likely to be light. I trust all readers will enjoy a splendid Christmas. Best wishes to you all. To tide you over, here’s this year’s edition of my now annual Christmas Quiz. As with previous editions – 2009, 2010 and 2011 – it’s not meant to be simple but there’s more glory in attempting it without recourse to Mr Google. Answers will be published in the New Year but are also available on request (alexmassieATgmail.com). You might also catch me on twitter (@alexmassie) where you can ask for hints or whatnot.
1. In what sense might the road to Rome, a vernal American composition and the location of the South’s surrender each be found on your phone?
2. The Scots have theirs arranged in threes, the Irish in fours and the Welsh in fives.
