PalenQ

Like last week this is a partcipatory quiz - pose one or two questions of your own - I'll start:

1 -Of EU nations list the three with the lowest highest elevations - in order. (Monaco, Vatican, etc don't qualify - proper countries in the EU and UN).

2- ??? Pose your questions!!!

1. Denmark, Netherlands, Estonia?

Lets try Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark.

The trouble will be about measuring sea level to get this right, I understand the Swiss use the Med and the Germans use the Baltic which lead to at least one bridge being out by 300mm..

flpab: Yes, I had to ask what they were, but forgot to ask how to turn it on. Seems frivolous when the kitchen sinks never have disposers.

Radiators!!!!

I too would hazard that Spain is the highest elevation on a whole - a big plateau but not sure - Switzerland would be the logical guess but much of that country is rather low.

6. What European airline announced today that they will start flying transatlantic flights in 2020 from/to up to 14 cities on each continent?

6. Ryan Air is my guess and only a guess.

Austria has the highest mean elevation I think.

London Bridge is in Lake Havasu, Arizona, having been sold.
It isn't true that the buyer thought he was getting Tower Bridge.
