While setting the Tuesday night quiz at the Bull's Head I discovered this fantastic website - Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations - which has the widest range of statistics on world food production (and very up-to-date as well!).
For example: - the world production of Wheat in 2007 was 607 million tonnes (in 1961 it was 222 MT). The single largest country production was China with nearly 109 MT (in 1961; USSR with 62MT).
There are many more bits of information to keep any self-respecting trivia buff happy for hours!
But, here come today's posers: -
- Which free online encyclopaedia appeared today in 2001?
- TV presenter Claudia Winkleman (right) was born today in 1972 and has fronted which BBC2 programme since 2004?
- The Alvor Agreement, signed today in 1975, granted Angola independence from which European country?
