On Tipping Point today a contestant passed on Question.
Who was the monarch when David Cameron became PM?

There is a time limit and I think he misheard. Felt he knew more than the lady who got through to the end round who waffled on a bit.

Another nervous contestant.

Question.
What is another word for 'squander' that can also be food dipped in batter and deep fried?
Answer.
Scampi.

Either that or she had never made a fritter.
