Can only be Cardiff, then. Or?
Correct.
From Wikipedia the longitudes are:
Edinburgh - 3 degrees 11' 20'' W
Cardiff - 3 degrees 11' W
Madrid - 3 degree 41' W
Dublin - 6 degrees 15' 35" W
Until I was told, I never realised how far west Edinburgh is and that Britain runs more NW to SE than N-S
Yeah, I guess we're all used to seeing Britain stand "upright" on a map, whereas it's actually tilted to the "left".Quote:

I seem to recall one of the African nations having a flag all blue with white trim. Don't recall if there was black as well.
Nor do I recall the country :p :
That's all I have to offer, other than a wild guess... :mark:
Go on, what's your wild guess? ;)Quote:

I like your answer, but unfortunately, alas. ;) Namibia's flag looks like this:Quote:

I have to confess that I only this afternoon, in the course of work, saw the flag in question. It's Botswana, is it not?
Indeed! Schmenke was very close, but Ben has got it. :up:Quote:
