What country has the longest coastline in the world??

BANG ON, YOUR UP

In 1936, Billy Butlin set up his first holiday camp in Skegness. Where did he set up his second camp a year later?

Pwllheli?

Bogner Regis

Damn the one i was thinking of opened in 1938 so haven't got a clue

just checked an on wiki it was Clacton in 1938

Braveheart, read the question again, does not ask 'opening' date, believe the camp opened in '38.

Rugbydreamer, correct with Clacton.

Oh yeah trust me not to read the question properly. It is Clacton then. Well done Rugbydreamer

no, no I cheated! I though you'd asked the question braveheart and that you then thought you didn't know the correct answer

Mentalrhino - you go again

No Braveheart got it right, over to you.

Where is there an American flag that hasn't been lowered since 1969

Braveheart, are getting the questions from the same web site? The moon.

That was far too easy. Well done mentalrhino

Who was the first person to be granted Honorary Citizenship of the United States?

What is an "honorary citizenship"??

A person of exceptional merit, generally a non-United States citizen, may be declared an Honorary Citizen of the United States by an Act of Congress, or by a proclamation issued by the President of the United States, pursuant to authorization granted by Congress.
Seven people have been so honored, five posthumously, and two during their lifetimes.

Lafayette, don't know his full name but he fought in the american revolutionary war

Sorry he was number six, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roche Gilbert du Motier, 6th August 2002.

Rochambeau or De Grasse

No sorry neither get a mention. If it helps, the first person was alive when the honour was bestowed.

That doesn't help at all seeing as I don't know who any of them are. I'm just guessing that they're all non americans who have helped the US in some way which is why I thought of people who fought in the American War of Independence

Mother Theresa

No, Mother Theresa was the only other person who was alive at the time 1996.
The first person, was male a British knight and the year was 1963.

Is a citizen of america something different to honorary citizenship?

Ignore that question, I was trying to work out if it was before 1919

Probably someone like Churchill so, id have thought it was someone from the war of independence myself though

Don't think Honorary citizens have the right of citizenship or permant residency, also they are not eligible for a US passport.

Is it something similar to a honorary knighthood in britain then?

Hughie, spot on Sir Winston Churchill, 9th April 1963
Raoul Wallenberg 5th October 1981
William Penn 19th Ocober 1984
Hannah Penn 19th October 1984
Mother Theresa 1st October 1996
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roche Gilbert du Motier 6th August 2002
Casimir Pulaski 6th November 2009

Good shout Hughie never thought of him well done

Lets kickstart this up again.

Nope a lot easier than that. You would have heard of her
