When we asked Pointless viewers to send us their arguments for this book we had lots of lovely emails. We also had lots of, frankly, disturbing emails and, rest assured, we have alerted the relevant authorities. In other email news, we won’t have to write another Pointless book next year because I have won the Nigerian lottery. But I digress.

Bernadette emailed us to say: ‘My boyfriend says if he met Lord Sugar, he would call him Mr Sugar, or Alan, but I think that would be rude.’

Hmm, I know what he means. Just because the Queen or someone decides that Alan Sugar is a lord, it doesn’t mean I necessarily agree. But, in general, you should probably call people what they want to be called. That is the polite thing to do, though by all means slag them off in the car on the way home.

Whenever I order things online and fill in my name I try to pick different titles, so I often get letters for Professor Richard Osman, Rev. Richard Osman and Mrs Richard Osman. It really brightens up my mornings. You should try it.

Below is another of our Pointless quizzes. This is what they call in publishing ‘added value’. Good, eh?

You’re going to see a list of different awards and honours, and you just have to say in which country each is awarded. My tip for this quiz is to bet your dad £1,000 that he can’t guess ‘Order of the Elephant’ in five goes.
