Thank yoy Mrlugsy.
Firstly I would like to thank Istenem, without whom none of this would be possible.
what was the first building to break the 1/2 kilometre mark in height?*

*Ground to spire, Not Ground to pinnacle. That record is still owned by the sears tower

Strewth, sir. That answer is way too intelligent!

I would give you five bonus points but i know your modesty would fluster at such an intrusion.

The building i have in mind is still standing.

Wahey. Go Cardy...

This question has been repeated before, but there are a lot of new faces and I'm devoid of inspiration...

Gibraltar did it in 1929. Czechoslovakia did it in 1945, Sweden did it in 1967 (following a referendum in 1955).

Britain and Ireland are yet to do it.

Do what?

I think it is change from driving on the left to righthand side of the road?

Switch to driving on the right hand side of the road?

Sweden rings a bell as having done this, no idea if it fits the other 2 though.
