    I'm thinking this may refer to the IPK - International Prototype Kilogram?

    Am not sure why it may soon be redundant though - unlikely, I know, but has it anything to do with Brexit?

    There is a sentence in the English language which comprises of eight words, all of which are the same - yet is grammatically correct. What is the sentence?

    Very interesting but as you know: "Google Google......."


    What iconic landmark reopens today after being saved from demolition by one vote in the 60s...

    Yes I think the only original cloth Hall left.. Almost demolished by the council in the 60s.. A splendid place and one of the few attractions to Halifax

    Nope, not Japan.

    Kite flying is a professional sport in this country if that helps.

    It's popular in Afghanistan, as novels like 'The Kite Runner' show. Hope this isn't the answer as I won't be around for a couple of weeks now!
