Better than that, you were simultaneously 2 years out in both directions at once, since 21 and 25 were both valid answers.
That's actually pretty impressive! #PopMaster

I think ‘successful-but-not mega-famous comedian’ is my favourite tier of autobiography: published on its merits of being worth reading — rather than somebody just cashing in on their name or a vacuous collection of showbiz annecdotes.
But good at their craft, so can actually write entertainingly.

I'm so glad we live somewhere with a Boyes — similar product range to Wilko, with the advantage of still existing!
But I really miss our independent hardware store which closed last year (after 87 years!). So many useful products, along with knowledgeable staff to find the one you needed.

Laughed at the “polite thanks”! Have you seen Dave Gorman's show (live or TV) on them?

I recognized the chin on number 6 and that's it — so I'm looking to join a very niche pub quiz team where somehow that's the only one they don't know!

And now I've had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over by an Uber-branded cab … which was going the wrong way down a one-way street.
Why is today so dangerous?

Thanks. I've heard of Herman's Hermits and ‘To the Manor Born’, but not seen them.
Now off to look up who Charlize Theron is …

I think 1-pointers continued for a short time after the move, before disappearing.
Today could've been a one-off, though: Ken was fishing for more detail but couldn't get it, at which point 3 would've made the fishing pointless and 0 would've been harsh. #PopMaster
