Some of the "daft" questions are not so daft.

No just bloody stupid.

Only if you know the answer.

Well, many of the questions are daft, not because they have an obvious
answer but because they are based on faulty premises. For example, "Is
the British Museum closed during the winter?" would be a valid
question even though nearly everyone knows that the answer is "no".
But "Is Wales closed during the winter?" can only be asked by someone
who doesn't know what Wales is, and that's what makes it daft - it's
not daft because they don't know the answer, it's daft because they
don't know the meaning of the question.

The only one in that list that isn't really daft, IMO, is "Do you have
any information on Samantha Fox?". That's a perfectly valid question,
the only thing that's slightly daft is that maybe a tourist
information centre probably isn't the best place to ask it.

Unless you'd consider her assets to be national treasures...
