Don't you start...we get enough of that kind of thing from the Yanks "all you Brits must know every inch of the UK and it's history cos it's soooo small" :lol:

It's probably that same as having a quiz with 15 questions about Cairns. How many would you get? :wink: I might be good for a couple more answers but that'll be about it...always avoid London whenever possible so only know the obvious answers :?
