there's your problem. It's not a place to be sober in.

We couldn't see anything for the crowds. So we joined in and laughed a lot. I'm always sober. Not teetotal just not much of a drinker. |

If only there was a Welsh person in Belgium on here, they could probably tell us. Something. Raemond?? |

To answer MudMeanderer's question of nine years ago, there are 0.676 Belgiums in a Wales. In reverse, there 1.48 Waleses in a Belgium. A Wales is approximately two-thirds of a Belgium.

Missed this completely back in April... In population terms, Wales is just one third of a Belgium, with 3 and a bit to the waffle eaters' 11.5 |

So Wales is about half as densely populated as Belgium? Excluding the capitals, I think that, bar a few foresty bits perhaps, the Belgian population is much more evenly spread than the Welsh? So despite the disparities, there is probably a much larger area of Wales actually or nearly unpopulated than of Belgium. I wonder, if you squashed the elevation flat and therefore measured the actual surface are, whether Wales might actually be bigger than Belgium? |

Could be... The Ardennes is rather lumpy, but the rest of it (Belgium) is fairly flat whereas there's barely enough level space for a cricket oval in most of Wales. And indeed, much of the middle is empty. And the North - awful slatey uninhabitable wilderness where people talk like turkeys. |

Are we using cricket ovals as the new multiple of habitable flat space? en.wikipedia.org |
