Yes.<laugh> How many times do you read about something happening affecting an area the size of Wales, twice the size of Wales, three times the size of Wales? Always thought it amazing how many places are divisible by the size of Wales.
 
Emma of Normandy was the mother of Edward the Confessor and, presumably, whoever succeeded him. And I would guess 12 is the name of Bake Off in other countries.
 
And for 15 the Bermuda Petrel was once thought extinct and now isn’t, so I’d guess that’s what that list is about.

****, I really am this sad.
 
The correct answer is Beer. Beer is always the right answer. <ok>

2) Cornwall

6) Smallest mammal.
