    Was going to say Argentina, but Fangio won more than 3 titles, so guessing Italy?

    You're right Beth, but looking for something a bit more specific than an entire continent!

    I would've got it wrong anyway. I thought it was Death Valley, California.

    I thought it was the Atacama desert in Chile, or a part of it.

    Okay what stroller is looking for is the dry valley in Antarctica. It apparently has not rained there for 2000 years....not sure exactly how they know..

    I knew it was Antarctica...but didn't know exactly where

    That's the driest non-polar place.

    Yes Beth, the McMurdo Dry Valleys, so named because of their extremely low humidity and their lack of snow or ice cover. The valleys constitute around 0.03% of the continent and form the largest ice-free region in Antarctica.

    The Friis Hills in Taylor Valley, one of the McMurdo Dry Valleys hasn’t seen water in 14 million years (no idea how they can tell either)

    Over to you Beth.

    In which high street shop (still with us today) for many many years (nearly 70) would you have found a proper lending library.
