Geography word game

First topic message reminder :

Name a geographical landmark that starts with the last letter of the place listed before it. (Can be anywhere in the world.)

So - Whitby Abbey could be followed by York Minster.

'R' landmark anyone?

Already claimed by the Mayor of Pease Pottage, just before the Yuletide Festivity, Charlatan.

What other spot on the Globe can you think of with the letter "X"?

We're stuck on the letter "X", RoB, due to repetition. Maybe we should allow Charlatan room for manoeuvre.

Any other contributor may comment .....................

I'll pop back in about 5 years or so - once I've persuaded the powers that be to remove that totally unnecessary initial letter from Exeter.......

There seem to be wider choices on a map of China

Maybe - but Exeter's closer for me...

by oftenwrong Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:30 pm

Interestingly, there is no Moderator nominated for this section.

Subject to general agreement, therfore, shall we allow until midnight on the last day of 2011 for Charlatan to come up with an alternative to the name he chose which has already been used?

After that all bets are off, and we start again.

by **Phil Hornby** Sat Dec 31, 2011 3:08 pm

Somebody has to make a decision - and that one seems as good as any to me.

As long as , in the absence of an 'X-rated' venue, we recommence with Pease Pottage , of course...
