Cardiff’s seagull population could be the largest in the world, an expert has warned.

For the record, Quiz Quest is not a pub quiz. Pub quizzes involve boring, drawn-out rounds about news and football and celebrities and current affairs stuff, hosted by an over-zealous compere with an arsenal of gags so godawful they’re prone to leave you spluttering into your pint.

And if you haven’t a clue what that means, watch this video from February’s quiz, which was themed entirely around ‘Stephens’ and was complemented by the hosts’ Terry Gilliam-esque animations.
