Never played this game before, so here goes--this may have been done already, but I only saw this yesterday:

What is the Norwegian word for "Speed Bump"? And this will make the little boy in me laugh.....

It is, probably, similar to Swedish.

I live in, a traditionally Swedish speaking area of Finland, and, when I go to the supermarket, I pass a sign that says "farthinder" .

I smile every time.

It is not as funny in Finnish, and 3 glasses of wine, can't remember what it says in Finnish.

If I can return to Å, the nearest pronunciation, I know, is "oar".

The purists may say aor.

It is not a letter in the Finnish language but about 6% of Finns are, mothertongue, Swedish speakers and itis in the Finnish alphabet.

Close enough to make me smile.....you have control...

Which building in The City of London has 311 steps?

St Paul's?

Not St. Paul's, but you could have been warm.

A tube station?

There is an underground station with the same name.

I was at The City University so should know this but guessing. Bank and Monument station.

Yes, the height of the structure is significant.

Ok are we just talking about the monument which Mrs Ex-Ascot thinks is a monument for the fire of London.

Yes we are.

It commemorates the "Great Fire of London" as said.

The height, 202 feet, is the distance that the structure is from the baker's shop? in Pudding Lane, where the fire is presumed to have started.

I grew up in South London and have been up it several times - may have been on a school day out too.

Your turn, back to my currants, it is somewhat cooler today.

I realise, now, that building may have been misleading.

Not intentional.

OK thank you. I really do not remember it. Anyway it was Mrs Ex-Ascot who thought of it so over to her.

In what year was Le Creuset founded? Extra brownie point for stating which was the original colour.

1925 and orange

One of our neighbours works at the Le Creuset shop in Windsor

Woody is in the chair.

I am a fan of Le Creuset, but only if it is blue.

Sorry for the delay, Big Airways are throwing ridiculous amounts of money into the overtime pot and it would be criminal to turn it down

What is the Birkenhead Drill?

Extra points for its origins.

I had to look that up and it was well worth the effort!

Ship evacuation and the Titanic?
