First an apology for a glaring error in last month’s quiz. The first Summer Olympic Games to be held in an Asian country were in the sixties (Tokyo 1964), not the eighties as stated. As Captain Mainwaring used to say: “I wondered who would be the first to spot that.” So, five questions on “Sorry”.

1. Who wrote and originally recorded ‘Sorry seems to be the hardest word’ in 1976?

2. Who starred as the ‘mummy’s boy’ in the TV sitcom “Sorry”?

3. There is a popular board game simply called “Sorry”. True or False?

4. Which member of the original Rat Pack once said: “I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day”.

5. Which American statesman and scientist, who has featured on dollar bills, once said: “Never ruin an apology with an excuse”?
