OK. 8 sisters. The eldest has been on a European coin within the last 20 years. One of the others holds a World record and 1 of the others has the lovely name of Eleonora . What is the family name ?
 
I can see that clues are needed here. Of the other sisters Elly is currently in Rotterdam. The forenames of all of the sisters start with the same letter. Evelyn was last seen in Gdansk.

You've got it Yorkie. The first built was the Emma Maersk (named after the late wife of Moller Maersk) this is the one which appeared on the Danish 20DKK coin. Of her 7 sister ships the Ebba Maersk holds the World record for cargo weight. The others of the E class of container ships are the Eugen (currently in the Channel), Elly, Edith, Evelyn,Eleonora and Estelle Maersk - the Eleonora Maersk is reputed to be the biggest. Over to you.

Ice Hockey 'Conferences' within the Elite League (EHL). Named after two decent British ice hockey players from the 1930's, a Stanley Cup Winner ( kind of the World Series of ice hockey) and an Olympic gold medallist! We could play the game at a world level once upon a time, we're improving these days too.
 
I thought it would be got quite quickly. Fez, it's actually the EIHL. GB ice hockey may be moving forward, but the Cardiff Devils aren't - it almost seems like we're waiting for the move to the new rink. I used to go to the old Welsh National Ice Rink regularly as a student (cheap tickets until my last year there) and it was an electric atmosphere at every home game, especially as it was easy for everyone to get to in the centre of Cardiff, a few minutes walk from Cardiff Central train station. I've been to 2 matches at the Bay Arena, and at both it has only been about half full. It doesn't help that it's on an industrial estate and has the feel of a converted warehouse.
