To answer my ealier supplementary : The Red Cross was founded after a conference in Geneva, hence the Swiss flag connection.

I have sent a PM to DarloRich to notify him that he won the last conundrum and asked if he could set a new one to solve.

EDIT....Since four days have elapsed without a new conundrum being set, I suppose it is safe to assume that OPEN FLOOR is now operational.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you all. It has been a bit hectic. I am happy to abdicate!
Paul – I only knew the answer as that is the only thing I can remember from a debate at school entitled “what have the French ever done for us”!

This is the current quiz question that needs solving.
Is this a general one about Blacks Law Dictionary and financial blockades on countries or are we after a specific event?
Xenophon PCDGS

Not so. Try to think in what other terms that "blockade" can be applied to.

Well all I get when Googling "Black Blockade" is "Black Cab Drivers Blockade Trafalgar Square". Somehow I don't think that's the answer !

We are indeed. I thought that the "hint" I put in my last posting concerning thinking along medical lines would be of help.
Please set a new one for us to solve.
Is this to do with domes?

All have domed places of worship...if this is correct, so does the church of St John the Baptist, next to the Manchester Metrolink stop of Rochdale Railway Station.

Do they all contain World Heritage Sites ?
They all have large statues of Jesus?
No, that's not it.
Yangon is, I think, the only one to join the list this century...so far.
edit - found another one, but it's on a tiny island in the Pacific.
