I caught a bit of the pledge and they had a map of Europe on the desk, they were ask to put an item on the map where they thought Romania was, 4 of them put their item around Hungary/Austria/Croatia Only 1 put it on Romania itself.
Is it just me that finds that unbelievable that 4 intelligent people had no clue whatsoever where Romania was, including the former general director of the BBC greg dyk3 and Nick Ferrari
it's not like it's a small dot on the map like Liechtenstein or San Marino, it's roughly the same size as the UK.

Beautiful country , beautiful people . I look forward to visiting Bucharesti , in near future .
Not sure I could identify every country from an outline only map.
Although I know Romania to border the Black Sea so might have got that.

Will give that go tomorrow Donny, got a few poker games on the go just now.
I'm pretty certain I'd have got it but could mix it up with Bulgaria. One thing with career people is they focus on their career, not general knowledge.
Doubt the wife would be able to pick out Romania on a map. Older blokes generally automatically know these things from football, wars, jigsaw puzzles, globes and games like Risk and Diplomacy, so I guess that's surprising that they are all older blokes. But I doubt many would be able to name three books fronm the Bronte Sisters. And the younger generation play computer games and spend their time on their phones and SM, so have a diabolical general knowledge.
there are a few younger folk who do quizzes on internet and naming all european
countries on a map is one of the basics.
then again we have towie who popularise being thick and proud of it, so they can
get a new series being educated.
schools are far to busy cramming kids into sats exams to bother with basic geography
teaching.
i would think 1 in 5 might be a fair reflection on population knowing exactly where romania is
but well over half would get right sort of area,

Hungary borders Romania so pointing in the are of Hungary is hardly "no idea where it is". What a bizarre thread.
Why? Is it important to know where romania is?
I know sheffield is full of people from there - the local MP said so.

their items was more towards Austria side then Romania.
strangely I have just finished a book on the crimean war and the problems of unification involving romania along with several other countries in the area
but then I am not of the KHANTian pursuasion. I don't think many romanians would approve of MY pursuasion. Don't think they have 'embraced' the culture.

Currently a huge rat infestation in Page Hall, they leave so much filth and rubbish in the streets.

some people, cultures just don't mix you can build the finest housing estate in the world put the wrong people in ,and it will be a shoitehole within 12 months,
you only have to look how nice tidy streets houses,have become rat invest ,tipping zones just because private BTL have bought into the street

To be fair, you could have the nicest, richest families in the world moving in. If the current locals are horrible, intolerant idiots then they're never going to be accepted.
Sad how this country's gotten. Should be able to forcibly deport some to the Falklands frankly.

Have a read about Page Hall and then think about what you wrote there. The new locals are horrible, not the originals.
Was a quiz question last week on tv.
It named an explorer and asked what North Atlantic island he had discovered.
Reply was I'm torn between Iceland and Alaska.
I'm guessing she'd struggle to identify Romania.

Not sure about Robovia but Rubovia is on here at times.

If the question was what country did Naddodd discover in the North Atlantic then Iceland would be correct.

I don't know whether he'd be termed an explorer though. Apparently he got lost. The term "Land of Nod" has it's origins in Naddodd
That seems a decent explanation CB, I'd have bought it had you not enlightened me. 
Land of Nod is mentioned in the old testament, where Cain was sent after killing his Brother.
Oddly enough this is mentioned in the Jordan Peterson book I read recently!

leif ericson ? before starring in the high chapperal ....
As I visited Romania last August, albeit on a Danube cruise, I know fairly accurately where it is. Most of the older buildings that we saw were falling apart though. It is amazing that school geography no longer includes drawing maps. As a child I had a jigsaw puzzle of all of the UK counties (as they were in the 1950's) so if I shut my eyes I can see the shape of every county and how the borders between them link up.
I'd guess some traiterous schools will have a map with the EU as one solid country ;)
akabula so that explains the 450000 in sheffield(joking)
you want to go back a long way to see a country divided within itself, facing pressure from dark forces invading, with a 5th column within
and I am not talking 1939 -
history apparently repeating itself

I don’t know , and never would I wish to investigate it
I am saying that it has happened several times and is happening again. One needs to learn.
I’m not sure how to spell it either , I don’t think we need to see anything out of the ordinary like Romania
I feel how little it concerns me , everything that is called ‘ the world ‘
so clearly the rubovians got in early to be followed up decades later
They shot the president , back in the 90s ?
I recall hearing the reports about it at the time and how he died with his wife and feeling sorry for them ,
maybe I was wrong to do so

my starting point was around year 500 but it has happened time and time again - this is the latest attempt and control/hegemony or whatever you want to call it but like biscuit brain it won't affect me but I wonder what the grandchildren will face
