His wife Marian is the question marker and has checked tens of thousands of answers over the years – some correct, some not so good!

Comments on the Railway Arms Facebook page echoed those sentiments: “Congratulations an awesome amount of money raised. Seamus, Marian and the great staff of Johnston’s deserve a round of applause”, “Well done Team Railway Arms” and “Congratulations. Always a great night!”
