    Baku is 28m under sea level and so has World Cup matches at the lowest altitude whereas La Paz has them at the highest above sea level.

    You have the lowest/highest answer. I wanted capital cities but national football stadia are normally in the capital city, Glasgow is an example of not always true being.

    Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long. My question is this:
    What is the common factor between Prince Rupert of the Rhine, the novel Vanity Fair, the Who, and the painter Camille Pissarro ?

    Maybe art? Ruppie was an artist as was Pissarro. Pete Townshend studied art at Ealing and Thackery studied it in Paris.

    I saw The Who at the Trades Union Hall in Watford in 1964 - I don't suppose the others have appeared there too? <whistle>

    OK. Time for some clues, the link also extends to Ian Gillan, Alexander Pope and William Hogarth.

    Pissarro painted Chiswick, the Who started in Chiswick, Prince Rupert and Hogarth lived in this part of London, Vanity Fair is placed there, Ian Gillan was born in Chiswick and Alexander Pope lived in a public house in the village.

    That's what I was looking for Ak. Vanity Fair begins at Miss Pinkerton's Academy for young ladies in Chiswick Mall. Prince Rupert of the Rhine was halted in his advance on London in 1642 at the battle of Turnham Green (Chiswick). Pete Townsend and John Entwistle of the Who were born there (as was Ian Gillan). Camille Pissarro, Alexander Pope and William Hogarth all lived there. Over to you.

    If I begin my journey in Belfast then I travel to Glasgow for two nights and afterwards Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham, Cambridge, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Exeter, Bristol, Bournemouth and Norwich. Where will I go next and what will I have seen?

    Looks like a band tour, but as I have probably never heard of them I am rather lost. :(
