Flags?

I feel your frustration, its seems they all want to engage in conversation. When will they learn this is a quiz. Some are even stringing more than one sentence together.

Nosy will be about soon telling us Brexit is a pile if poo whilst celebrating his birthday by have a poo.

Isn't Antarctica an island?

Not sure of the number, I first heard it on an interview with a moon landing denier being asked to explain how they got there

Yes, always thought it was a silly defence, when the two Russian ones were put there by unmanned landers.
Oh, and Brexit is so smelly you can detect it on the moon. Not a lot of people know that.

Isn't Antarctica an island?

Yes, it is. It was part of Gondwana land which included India, Australia, South Africa, South America and Antarctica as one single land mass. That broke up. Not sure how you measure "oldest island". Madagascar was in the middle of it so... ??

So has it remained static, ie not moved. If yes, surely it was an awfully large island that eventually had islands that broke way from it?

Madagascar

At the risk of being a pedant... if a large mass of land is not connected to any other land mass, does that not qualify it as being an island? In the case of Gondwana land (which I admit, I had never heard of), if bits break off from an island, aren't they newer than the original (larger island)?

Can't argue against that except wordy folk and -ologists may say that Gondwana , and the nothern one Andara, were continents, or supercontinents, which came into existence when Pangaea split. I suppose Antarctica's a continent too. How large is large? No that's not a quiz question. I'm still looking for the island "No Man".

Ohhh... it was when the 6 pence ceased to be legal tender.

Hardly everyday life though, if that is the answer, given that they ceased to be generally accepted in 1971.
