The Bloke On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Knows Absolutely Nothing

[dave50]

How can anyone have so little basic general knowledge?

There's been many contestants who have used a lifeline to get to the 1k

Just in my defence as get prickled when called out for something I didn't do - my age remark was about Knickerbocker Glory, despite barry thinking the whole world must have read Harry Potter (I haven't) and I stick by it. The are not many cafe's, ice-cream shops, restaurants or shopds where you can see 'kickerbocker Glory' on the menu. 

 

I didn't say anything about age and Topiary rather that it's a specialist gardening term and city/apartment dwellers, or anyone without a garden might not have come across it.

The argument that's it's general knowledge I agree with but when are people taught that now?

[netherfield]

Wouldn't have got a chance, I've sorted it  heard of the causeway coast, but I couldn't have told anyone where it was to save my life. 

And if you're going to do a 50/50, then keep quiet about what you think it might or might not be.

How many would have got the BMW question right?

[ToraToraTora]

BMW is well known, MG not so much!

[netherfield]

Bayerische Motoren Werke, would have been more correct. And I know MG and AUDI.

[ToraToraTora]

In English it's Bavarian Motor Works.

He must have guessed the fastest finger first...

I knew the BMW question and I know what MG stands for
