This Friday.
I have decided to do all 30 questions with either the question or answer related to Teesside.

My family are like most, none would be entering Mastermind, or indeed The Chase. We just have a laugh online while in a semi competitive mode- we all want to win.

Does anyone have some trivia that I could turn into a question related to Teesside, even if I have to give a 4 choice answer, it's just a bit of fun, but must be Teesside related.
