Oo! Oo!
Finally a piddling contest I can do reasonably well in!
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany (both sides before the wall
came down), Ireland, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland,
Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom (inc Scotland, Wales, England,
and Northern Ireland), United States of America.
The USA includes California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and DC.
Like Lar, I've been around the ball a bit, so the east west thingie is not so
meaningful, but for me its east to Whakatane in New Zealand's north island
(~175E), west is Pearl City (~155W), south is Port Arthur in Australia's
Tasmania (~43S), and north is Inverness in Scotland (~58N)
