| Posted : Thursday, 2 April 2009 - 14:09 I'm gonna need a bit of clarity because I'm not European or the most knowledgable of geography... The British Isles are Britain and Ireland, right? or is that the entire United Kingdom? (though I thought the UK included Scotland and Whales...)
and what does "one off item" mean? were you trying to say that it's one of a kind? | | Harold1 DoCJoined 21/04/2007

| Posted : Thursday, 2 April 2009 - 17:36 Sorry , The british Isles consists of England,Scotland,wales and Ireland and also some out lying islands but you are looking for a mainland item,
I say one off as in that this item is not copied in this form anywhere else, but there are others made the same way

| Posted : Friday, 3 April 2009 - 01:24 Not Big Ben,(Big Ben is the bell in St stephens tower)
Not The Dome its the O2 something now
Was it built in the last 200 years, there is no history of when it was built,It is thought to be older than that though  | | Mog DoCJoined 5/02/2004

| Posted : Friday, 3 April 2009 - 05:52 Just to narrow things down a bit - is it a man-made item?
If the answer to that is "Yes" then could it be:
Silbury Hill?
Hadrian's Wall?
The Cerne Abbas Giant?
The Uffington Horse?
The Long Man of Wilmington? | | Harold1 DoCJoined 21/04/2007

| Posted : Friday, 3 April 2009 - 12:09 You nade it too easy by saying it could be seen using Google earth.
Had to be something easily spotted from the air then...
BTW - thanks for the winning clue in Mog's 50th 20 Questions game. Was stumped until you mentioned anniversaries.  | |
