Was this someone in that Ant & Dec thing at Celtic Manor a couple of years ago. Say Chris Evans? Failing that Tarby who is forever playing these things.

And I'll go for Bruce Forsyth then

you are on the right lines but not mentioned the right name so far.

it was 33 yards at gleneagles but this probably won't help.

Speaking of post counts, when do I get that seventh light bulb?

It was a Scandinavian country wasn't it? I'll go for Norway.

iirc the swiss were the last. i think the first might have been new zealand

Well done. It was the New Zealanders (2 edits later), although the Pitcairn Islands were at it way back in 1838 but they're not really a country - in fact, they're the most sparsly populated autonomous region in the world, with less than 50 inhabitants. No idea as to how to claim your 7th bulb Weyland!

The Swiss didn't let birds vote until 1990, and there are still some Arabic countries like Saudi Arabia that still don't let them.
