Which bring me to the reason I have moved away from quizzing circles. Web search, Wikipedia and Google book search have not only made it unnecessary to remember obscure trivia but also made the lives of quiz masters easier. Quiz masters can now ask questions (to the strain of Humpty Dumpty, no less) about little known cannons in Colchester without needing the ability to locate Essex on a map or knowing who fought whom in the English Civil War.
Being a Quaker, I am much more familiar with those who refused to fight in the English Civil War than I am with the Cromwells and Charleses and Jameses and Roundheads and others who figured in it.
