However, I went to the weekly pop quiz at the Prom last night. This quiz, quite rightly, has legendary status in Bristol. But I haven't been for a while and I got quite a shock last night. It's now billed as a "pop and showbiz" quiz and the room was full of "youngsters" instead of the usual clutch of middle aged men with bald patches, Mott the Hoople T-shirts and pints of real ale.
I'm now expected to know about JLS and their own brand of condoms, rather than Van Halen and their infamous brown M&Ms rider clause; about Pixie Lott not the Pixies; about X Factor instead of Generation X.
OK, maybe I should have known that the photo in the picture round was Paula Radcliffe, not Madonna! (But, to be fair, what's she got to do with showbiz?)
