Apologies for the delay, but you only have yourselves to blame – we had a large number of entries this year and they needed careful marking. Anyway, prizes are now here – we have several DVDs, and three copies of the truly excellent Underground: How the Tube Shaped London together away, all of which have been kindly signed by London Transport’s newest knight, Sir Peter Hendy, just to make them that bit more unique. We also have a number of … Continued

It’s that time of the year again, and the minds here at LR Towers have been beavering away preparing the most devious of questions for you all. Whether we’ll manage to fox as many people as we did last year (largely thanks to the notorious “Belgian Battlefields” question) remains to be seen, but we will try. Prizes are not yet finalised but we’ve got a selection of books picked out and a couple of unique items that can’t be bought. … Continued

Once again I’d like to thank everyone who entered the Christmas Quiz this year. We had a huge amount of entries – enough to force me to start keeping track of things in a spreadsheet, and the quality of answers was excellent. There can only be a few winners though and they are as follows. I’ve abbreviated surnames to try and preserve an element of anonymity. All the prize winners have been emailed, so if they check their inboxes they … Continued
