What were you doing in 2012?
It hardly seems possible that “Where in the World…” has reached its 700th edition. Back in September 2012 David Cameron was Prime Minister, Theresa May was Home Secretary and George Osborne was Chancellor. Brexit was still some way off and Jimmy Saville was about to be unmasked as an abuser of children. COVID was still 8 years away but the first case of the MERS-CoV coronavirus was reported.
Tim was the earliest of the current readers to take part followed closely by Atul. Jackie, although she discovered WITW later, has the record for the longest run of correct answers at over 5 years.
Thank you to all those who have supported us.

Congratulations to those who identified the distorted city from Where in the World (700) as Paris: Dee (@deecornes), David (@SparkofLight), Jackie (@jackiesjourneys), Rebecca (@rebhalp) and Atul (@pixodentist).
Well done everyone.
