What country has the longest coastline in the world??

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 11:24

Poland?

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 11:25

Nope, all of those places have pretty big mountains.

Mount Olympus in Greece is way bigger than Ben Nevis for example.

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 11:30

Hang on a minute....is it an island?

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 11:38

The flattest country in the world is a group of islands.

The flattest country in Europe is not. But it is coastal.

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 11:44

Lithuania

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 11:49

Nope.

None of the Baltic countries. But it’s not a million miles away from them.

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 11:56

My geography is rubbish so I am struggling now. To be honest I don't know what the Baltic countries are so I may pick another one!

Denmark?

by WillyGilly Fri 9 Sep - 11:56

Right mum just told me the flattest country in the world is in the Indian ocean. So is it one of the following 3; the Maldives, Sri Lanka, or Madagascar? I'll stick my money on Sri Lanka.

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 11:57

Denmark. You got it pal.

It’s highest peak is lower than the highest peak of any other European contry.

The Maldives is the lowest country in the world with it’s highest elevation at just over 7ft!

by WillyGilly Fri 9 Sep - 12:00

Wow 7ft. They won't last long with global warming.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:02

Right my turn, Mick no answering

What European country exports the most bananas??

by WillyGilly Fri 9 Sep - 12:05

Nice question Hughie. Reckon I know the answer but I don't want to steal your thunder right away. Makes sense though.

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:05

Must be somewhere warm?

Portugal?

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:07

Wrong twist

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:09

Spain

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:11

Nope

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:15

Is it a European country that "owns" another country, in the caribbean.

I can't think of the word.

by WillyGilly Fri 9 Sep - 12:19

Right lines

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:21

If that's the case. France, as they are big colonial power

by Guest Fri 9 Sep - 12:25

Only countries I can think of are South American countries.

Guessing the French because their empire covered some of the Caribbean.

Looks like Twist beat me to it Doh

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:25

I may be wrong.....

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:28

You are wrong, I'm going to let Mick come in on this now if he wants, he has some amazing banana facts

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:31

The largest exporter of banana's in Europe is...

...Ireland!

The Fyffe company by the entire banana crop of Belize annually and distribute it across Europe from their operations base in Dublin.

BOOM!

by WillyGilly Fri 9 Sep - 12:32

It's not France then. Woops.

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:32

Ah right, nope never would have got that.

What's your question Mick?

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:34

Owing to a taxonomical error by Doctor Joeseph Banks in 1872 the banana is technically classified as a relative of the otter.

If you boil a banana in milk it becomes magnetic and can be used as a compass.

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:39

My question… hmmm…

Right here goes. What are the 2 European Union capitals are closest to eachother?

To give you a clue, they’re approx an hour apart by train so it’s not anywhere in the UK or Ireland.

by WillyGilly Fri 9 Sep - 12:43

Brussells and the dam

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:46

WillyGilly wrote:Brussells and the dam

Nope.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:48

But the dam isn't the capital of Holland, that the Hague

I'm going to go with The Vatican and Rome Mick

by TwisT Fri 9 Sep - 12:49

Got to be all those countries closely packed in the middle of europe.

My geography is sh*t, so I would have to look up capitals to even have a guess.

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:51

It's nowhere in the Netherlands if that helps.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:51

I know that won't count

So I'm going with San Marino and Rome

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:52

The Vatican isn't in the EU Hughie. It's not a trick question.

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:53

San Marino isn't in the EU, but I reckon these capitals are closer To eachother anyway.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 12:55

Ah EU, learn to read the question right hughie

Cause my next answer was going to be Bern and Vienna (switzerland and Austria)

by **Kenny** Fri 9 Sep - 12:58

I have heard the question before but cant for the life of me remember the answer im sure Vienna is one of them ?

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 12:59

Vienna is one of them. But Berne isn't.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 13:02

Hungry is in the EU now isn't it.??

I know Budapest is close to Vienna case I was going to fly into once when I was planning a trip to the Hungarian GP

by Guest Fri 9 Sep - 13:07

It's Vienna and Bratislava IIRC? But I'm pretty sure it's close between the other bordering countries as well.

by Suspicious lurker Fri 9 Sep - 13:10

Your up buddy

by Mickado Fri 9 Sep - 13:10
