    Quiz Week 18

    Before I kick off with this weeks 20 I would like to say everyone is welcome to join in. When we started this weekly quiz it was with the intention of having a bit of fun for everyone be that suffers, Carers or both working together. The scores are what they are and don’t really matter unless you are called Richard and Denise 🤣. In fact you don’t need to post your score, especially if you get a full house 🤣 I pretty much get the lowest score every week but hey ho.

    This weeks theme is communications.

    2. Who invented the World Wide Web

    4. Which was the first programme to be broadcast on Channel 4

    5. What was the name of the world’s first adhesive postage stamp

    6. What does DAB stand for in relation to radios

    7. Which is the most frequently used letter in the English language

    8. What was the world’s first teletext information service, started by the BBC in 1974

    9. In which year did the UK complete the switch to digital television

    10. By what system is a letter sent if labelled “ Pat avionics”

    11. What does SMS stand for in relation to texting

    12. Who invented the telephone

    13. What does “fax” stand for

    14. Which country developed emojis

    15. Which letter is represented in Morse Code by a single dash

    16. How much did a standard first class stamp cost in the UK at the beginning of 2018

    17. Who was the first person to produce a printed book in English

    18. On a standard keyboard what is the topmost left letter

    19. Which London thoroughfare was traditionally associated with newspapers

    20. In 1973 which company became the first to mass-produce the handheld mobile phone.
