Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Yorkie]

Just checking that folk are still awake!   Forgot to change it before I posted!   :rage:

[Yorkie]

Where is this building and for what is it famous?

[brumbob]

Spain ?

Is that Dennis the Menace just 'entere'ing the building 

[Yorkie]

Not Espana!  But is European   

[Yorkie]

Clue time- the writing on the side contains the word "pottery"

[Hugo]

Looks like a Dutch property, could it be Delft pottery?

[Yorkie]

I shouldn't have given you the clue!   Making things a bit too easy.  Yes right again Hugo!   

[brumbob]

Funny way for the Dutch to spell 'enter'

[Yorkie]

It is actually "Entrance" which in Dutch is "ingang", in German "eingang" and French (or Belgian) "entree", and should not to be confused with the main course of a meal!

The Dutch know the place so don't need signs and the use of French (and English on the other side) makes it more welcoming for "Foreigners".    Next time I'm there I'll see if they can also include "fynedfa" for the Welsh.

Now I know where it is, I can see in a bigger picture it does indeed spell 'entree' (on all 3 sides)
in your smaller picture I thought it said 'entere' hence my guess at Spain

interestingly:
The name Delft on a piece of pottery does not mean that it is actually genuine Delftware. Delft is a cityname and therefore not protected, so this name may be used all over the world.

Just to keep the old grey matter working, where is this and I expect the answer very quickly.

[Merddin Emrys]

Betws Y Coed, at last one I get 

I never go abroad so I never know the foreign ones     L0L

[Yorkie]

Don't be so quick to congratulate yourself, there are often some trick questions on this thread!   But, CONGRATULATIONS, you are correct!   

I thought that Betws Y Coed was abroad - I always take my Passport when I go there!   L0L

Pop a question on yourself Merddin, then you can watch us all struggle whilst you can gloat in the fact that you KNOW the answer!     

[Merddin Emrys]

I sometimes go to England, that now feels like abroad   L0L     


even though I was born there!  L0L

[Fester]

England...me too,   but it always seems to be for funerals these days.

England is a very over-rated place.
