    Just a guess here - Federer was number one in World tennis for 310 weeks and Djukovic has just equalled that ?

    Cheers Yorkie. Which country did the Romans (and the Carthaginians) name the land of rabbits ? It still has Europe's largest rabbit population <laugh>

    All yours BB. Coming from the Phoenician word Sphan = Rabbit. So, Hispania meant 'land of the rabbits' and this was adopted by the Romans who actually struck coins for the region with a rabbit on them. The country still has the largest number of rabbit recipes in the whole of Europe (but not the best - this distinction belongs to Hungary and Belgium !). Take it away.

    Cheers - I found that out after researching Spain with my son, just before he moved there 18 months ago.

    Which English pub was named after a fictitious pig?
