In order that we (PAD) is not subverted by what may be termed younger elements
we will be asking prospective members to complete a short quiz in order to prove their eligibility.

Therefore:
1) a popular Post-WWII meal item on a Monday evening would be Bread and ********. Fill in the missing word.
2) When did rationing officially end in the UK after WWII?
3) Were you able to spend a Victorian penny in 1954 (i.e. was Victorian coinage still in circulation in 1954 - yes or no?
4) The Festival of Britain was in which year, 1951, 1952 or 1953?
5) What is an Allotment?
6) Henry Irving's best cardigan dates from which decade - the 50s or the 60s?

Answer these questions without looking them up on Goggles or whatever it is called, and you're in.
