We took my son to Disney World on his 6th Birthday and while we were away Neil came up with the idea of questions of the day to fill in some news during that week. My son celebrates his 11th Birthday today and the questions of the day still appear. That means that we have published more than 1,250 of them over the past 5 years.

So you can maybe understand why I am asking for your ideas (again) for future questions of the day. My mind is ‘question of the day’ empty. If you have any ideas, please send them to shaun (at) mailstm.co.uk. They will be hugely helpful!
