You don't tend to see 'roving' super teams these days but yeah, I've been to many a quiz where 'a team from the vaults' has mysteriously won, or someone you've never seen (who seems to know the quizmaster) suddenly guesses the ÂŁ500 music accumulator which has been running for 5 months ! Sadly, what is killing the good old pub quiz is phones, it's almost impossible to stop cheating these days unfortunately.
