h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A1066484 gives the size of Wales as 15,000 square kilometres, but most other sources call it around 20,000 - including http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/culture/sites/aboutwales/pages/geography.shtml

Anyone else think we should be following suit, or have I missed something?

In my Peloponnese entry I said:

"At 21,500km2, the Peloponnese is about the same size as Wales or Massachusetts"

I can't remember what value I used for Wales, but it was clearly around the 20,000 mark.

Ok, I've changed it to 20,000km2, and posted on the Entry to alert the author to this thread

My Brockhaus gives Wales as having 20,766 km² - if that helps.

Err - you're in trouble now:
>>Belgium is about twice the size of Wales, approximately 30,000 km2.<<
Belgium has in fact a size of 30,518km²

Belgium is bigger than Wales. It's about one and a half times the size, so that two Belgiums are about the same as three Waleses.

I'm always in trouble, Bel

Corrected that to 1 1/2 times

Yes, I know, that's why I posted the sentence, you'll have to go and correct that, too.

Simpost. Well done, Rich.

And I posted my sentence so that Rich could quote it directly and wouldn't have to use that brain thing of his.

Three heads are better than one, eh? Even if they are all saying the same thing at the same time

True, and I got a good laugh out if this now.

can we just do what the EU did and forget that Wales exists ?
