Got to go to work now, so the answer is, October. The reasoning, 31 days + 1hour when the clocks go back to GMT for winter.

Not even the flattest in Europe!

In fact, given that the flattest country in the world is fairly obscure and not exactly famous for being flat, I’ll accept the flattest country in Europe.

by TwisT Fri Sep 09, 2011 10:54 am

I would imagine it would be coastal.
