Brigid told me that in all her years going to pub quizzes she only ever attempted to cheat once.
The incident happened years ago, before the availability of Google on phones but after the invention of SMS.
Brigid decided that one question was too hard and that her mum would know. So, after a quick run round the moral maze she decided it was OK to text her mum the question, mentioning that it was for a pub quiz.
The return text came back swiftly. All it said was:
“Don’t cheat“.
Quality parenting.
