Hi Angie, hi all

Hmmm. It's either the one in Paris on place de la concorde or the one in Washington DC - both gifts from the Egyptian govt?

Our Washington Monument at 555 feet. An d we built it ourselves, no Egyptians involved, but giving Yola 2 points!

Q 5 This might be a bit tricky if you don't know the book, but as it pops up so often in crosswords I thought it would be fair...

What is the name of the gentle peaceful race in H.G. Wells Time Machine?
