[biffon]

im noticing a trend in these questions....
Either UK, mediterranean or US only.... my knowledge on these areas is shaky at best....
google be my friend!

[TCB Quiz Master]

Not true Bifon, these questions cover a wide area of the world. Google away ......

[biffon]

20 - Suez has no Locks -true! - reason is cause it joins the Mediterranean and the Red sea and the land bridge is only a few metres above Sea level the whole way ... as opposed to the Panama canal which has to negotiate several hundred metres up to a big lake in the middle and then several hundred metres back down on the other side...
