The final 2 questions on S9/E28 were NOT geography, they were POLITICS.

Do you test the contestants before they are accepted on the show? I am astounded that so many cannot answer the simplest of questions. They avoid geography (strange in an age when more people are travelling than ever before) I often wonder what kind of education they receive in UK now. I am VERY pleased that I appear to be very fortunate in the high standard of mine. I have lived outside England for 50 years and can still answer more than your players. I have difficulty with UK TV and modern British groups but general knowledge doesn't change. It is obvious they don't read, rarely watch the news and never do crosswords or other quizzes. Why do they think they can win? One more thing.......Because your game relies heavily on the luck of the fall, contestants can win LOTS of money even if they are not bright. Very frustrating!

Reporters in USA are forecasting high numbers of Covid19 cases in the flu season. I recently spoke to a nurse here in Cape Town who told me that, because we have been wearing masks during the winter months, there have been LESS flu and cold cases and far less medication bought and used. Makes you think! If people in America would just abide by the rules: It's simple. Wear a mask, wash your hands and practice distancing, they would decrease the chances of becoming a victim. I am 78 years old so am well aware of the ways I could contract the illness. Why don't people understand the enormity of the colossal numbers of dead Americans? DO THEY WANT TO DIE?

Please ask Dara to stop saying Haitch. The letter 'H' is pronounced AITCH. I don't know the reason for the weird anomaly but that is the how it should be said.
