In which country is Serengeti?

I went to a Quiz Night at Stockport County FC yesterday. Around 60 teams all brought together by Booth Ainsworth Accountants in their annual charity event. Beechwood House (cancer care) was the beneficiary, and their representative did a great job explaining the ravages of cancer from a very personal level. The night raised £4800 - Fantastic.
Our team did pretty well, mainly because we brought a 20-year-old into our team of forty-somethings. He knew what Lady Gaga looked like, who Hannah Montana's Dad was, and even objected when 'mass which light can't pass through' should have been 'dark matter' and not a 'Black Hole'. Don't ask me!
I now know that the first Butlins was built in Skegness, William II came before Edward II and that Gay people can now get married in Portugal.
It was great to be amongst 300 folk all as equally enamoured by trivia as I am! Shame that the attendance almost matched the numbers at the ailing football club on a Saturday.

By the way - Serengeti is in Tanzania!
