4 - Chrysler building
8 - Bayern munich

11 - use bows/crossbows
14 - bale

 

14 is colloquial measures of distance, area, etc.

 

Ya what

 

9 - sank on maiden voyage.

 

So and so is three times the size of Wales, watchamacallit is the height of four double dec buses, etc.

 

Ah true
However still think my answer applies too

 

It doesn’t Brady

 

Yes. 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.

 

7-Versace.

There,that's it from me...Hangs head in shame.

 

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.

 

You mean like Wales has more hotel beds than Belgium sort of thing?

 

Sad but intelligent

 

10 are all pet names Chazz uses for his nubbin sized dinkle.

 

Is 2 Rutland or Leicestershire? And is 8 Wrexham?
10 surfing?

 

13 - famous nuns? The last one is the full name of Sister Wendy.

The correct answer is Beer. Beer is always the right answer.

2) Cornwall

6) Smallest mammal.
