Zingari Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 T Iran A, that was bugging me for ages, yes well done maybe that was a bit tricky.
Captain... Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 yes well done maybe that was a bit tricky. I got the Persia bit easily enough, and I should have known that the reserves meant the TA, Tirana being a fairly obscure city probably made it harder.
Zingari Posted 20 March 2014 Posted 20 March 2014 I got the Persia bit easily enough, and I should have known that the reserves meant the TA, Tirana being a fairly obscure city probably made it harder. It's the capital of Albania , but yes i suppose it's not high on most peoples list of well known cities
