    Lake Baykal in Russia is the largest in the world so I'll go with that.

    There aren’t many British Oversea’s territories left. All the ones in the Pacific now go to Australia of NZ, otherwise I would have gone for Pitcairn or somewhere that way. I don’t think it’s in the Caribbean.

    I’m going for St Helena, though I thought it’s capital was Tristan de Cunha. If not that must be Indian Ocean somewhere.

    They're separate islands of a trio which includes Ascension. Jamestown is the capital of St Helena and Edinburgh of the Seven Seas is the capital of Tristan da Cunha. You can take it away as it was a bit of an extreme question.

    Cheers, bit of a surprise that was right.

    Until the early nineteenth century ‘being in the company of gypsies for a month’ was a criminal offence in Great Britain. What was the maximum punishment?

    Probably the death penalty. You would be sentenced to this for almost any misdemeanour back then?

    Amazingly that is correct. So presumably if you were born into a gypsy family you could be executed at a month old...if your parents had not been topped already. In the 18th century there were 220 capital offences, mostly involving property crime, but including ‘exhibiting the signs of malice between the ages of 7 to 14’.

    The death sentence was handed down 35,000 times between 1770 and 1830. But ‘only’ 7000 were actually executed. This is (probably, the figures are a state secret, but Amnesty estimates ‘several thousand’) less than the number executed in China in 2018.

    Over to you Ninesy.
