Right now, someone else has that number.  (See below).

Two new Monday quizzes:

The Gun, 27 Coldharbour, Docklands, London E14 9NS.  7 pm start, £2 per person with maximum 6 to a team, first prize £100 bar tab.

The Cadogan Arms, 298 Kings Road, London SW3 5UG, 7.30 pm start, again £2 per head and max 6 to a team, with first prize being a bar tab but I’m not sure how much.

Many thanks for sending those in.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three times – we’re in uncharted territory.

Which all signals that the current moral dilemma, or one of them, facing me, is whether I return for the third time to a pub quiz which we’ve been to twice, but we were convinced both times that there was a manufactured result.  The second time was more than just suspicion as I even took the answer sheets from the QM’s table before the bar staff threw them out, so I have the evidence of the phantom totals.  Still.

I’ve seen things like this before, and anyone who says that it doesn’t take place is in a blissful state of innocence.  Usually,  what happens is that the QM/pub staff like to encourage either locals, regulars, or their mates, so give them a helping hand by dodgy scoring.

Well, I’ll keep you posted….

Third clue, placename question, coming up.  And thanks for the early guesses – I see how your minds are working.  Here it comes:

3.  Nineteenth century literary connection.
