Bhutan, surely?

[agchristie]

Bhutan 'grappling with modernity and development'.

[Tilly2]

I'd like to sail through the canal. It's on my holiday list.

[agchristie]

Tilly, I don't know anyone who has been to Panama!

[Hopkirk]

They make nice hats.

[Tilly2]

I'm going to the Galapagos Islands, next year. Is that anywhere near?

[agchristie]

The only place in the world you can see the sun rise in the Pacific and set in the Atlantic!

[agchristie]

Tilly, 987 miles!

[Tilly2]

Oh, so near and yet so far!

[agchristie]

Divebuddy, my source says not!

[Tilly2]

If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west...........?

[jeffa]

"They make nice hats"

No they don't.

[Tilly2]

Panama hats are made elsewhere, apparently. Equador or something like that. Actually, probably China

[Tilly2]

Ecuador

[Calibax]

Maybe the disgruntled Scots could move there. The Gulf of Darién perhaps...?

[agchristie]

Divebuddy, I will tell my friend, he thought it was a fairly well known fact!!

Calibax, I can picture the tartan in Central America ;-)

[Calibax]

It was indeed, divebuddy
