I guess it is to do with the plastic cups and plates, but do not know of a country that has gone further.
put all that together....
which country has done what?
Ha! The current NZ government encourages environmental degradation. We have so many National Parks that could be more use as landfill sites. Hopefully that will change next month.

Yorkie.....you are so close that I have to give it to you. The scientist Humphrey Davy was experimenting with laughing gas (as a possible anaesthetic) at the beginning of the 19th Century - 2 of his closest friends were Samuel Coleridge and Robert Southey - they became his human guinea pigs. Over to you.

Season 69/70 our first ever season in the old Div. 2. Our first goal was a Keith Eddy penalty against Sheff. Utd. I was on the Rookery for that.

My times too!
- Aug 16 1969 … Watford 0, Bolton Wanderers 0 – Vicarage Road’s first Division 2 fixture. There was no Watford goal in a League match, home or away, until the sixth game of the season.
over to you......
Mine too - I nearly fell over backwards a fortnight later when we had two 3-0 victories in a week, Villa at home & Blackpool away. A short-lived recovery though...
Cheers Yorkie. Of the books and texts which have been translated into the most languages the Bible comes top of the list - many of the others have been religious texts or political ones (eg. Declaration of Human Rights) - which is the highest book on the list (translated into 253 languages) which does not come into these catagories ?
I'd guess one of the classic kid's books which are/have been read all over the world -
Andersen's Fairy Tales?
Alice in Wonderland?
Winnie the Pooh?
Adventures of Pinocchio?
