Are you looking for a capital city here, a major city or a tiny little place loosely labelled a city where people are jammed packed in? I think Paris may fit the bill - it's about one hundredth of the size of Scotland with half the population.
Not there yet. It also has one of the deepest underground railways in the World (May even be the deepest at one point).
I need clarification here - do you mean U.K. stamps or Worldwide ? Also, do you mean adhesive stamps as opposed to the earlier hand stamps or franks ?
Because the rules of association football are so old all of the measurements used eg. distance of penalty spot to goal etc. are based on imperial measurements, apart from two which use the metric system - one is the circumferance of the ball, what is the other ? ps. I mean measurements not weights.
Yeah I know - and they didn't get the answer without me giving it at the end - maybe the Horns can do better ! I actually found out the answer on this board somewhere !
If you read the laws of the game as issued by FIFA all measurements are given first in metric and then in imperial in brackets.
Er ... Dan, the imperial measurements came first and the metrical measurements are their equivalents. Take for example the goal dimensions 2.44 metres (8 feet) high and 7.32 metres long (24 feet) the rounded nature of the imperial measurements tells us that they came first. The measurement I am looking for has only ever been in metric.
