    I thought that at first but France were number 6 the last time I saw a list.

    This one has me stumped.

    It wouldn't be milk, would it? Are we talking per head of population, or just overall production? We are just guessing now - well we have been from the start :D

    Television programmes?

    Cigarettes?

    I think we need to pass on this one!

    When did France drop out of the top ten?

    Not that it matters, just curious.

    I thought that a lot of salt came from Eastern Europe, more than would have, say, come from the UK.

    I was there!!!



    But I'll let it run for a while for others to have a go.

    A very good question.

    I know this one, but if I answer and put out a question I may not be around for a few days, so sadly I am sorry ....

    Naah to heck with it it is in Antarctica LOL

    I will await confirmation before I post a question, if I don't manage it before tomorrow night (Friday) I would like Looksee to post a question for me :)

    40% - wow, that's 'round about saturation. Even I could probably walk across that! If I were to cast a fly 'pon the pond the only thing I could hope to catch would be a kipper!

    We could walk across it, even without the saline content, as it only about 20cm deep at the deepest part.

    Ok, looks like I get to sort out Rubecula's question, so:

    It will come as no surprise to know that centipedes do not have 100 legs and millipedes do not have a thousand legs. Both can have varying numbers. However what is the main difference in the leg count arrangement between the two creatures?

    Zoology is my stock and trade. Centipedes usually possess one pair of legs to every single body segment while millipedes usually have two (except for the first three segments which have one). I say usually as it's not so in 100% of all species.

    Not sure. I used the British Geological Survey figures.

    No idea but the Name Luke comes from light or heat. Maybe a connection? But heat warm???

    Hmm... Close enough. Luke is derived from the term lewk in Middle English which meant tepid/mid-warm.
