Thank you @J9el

[Spenny]

@Mi-Amigo My answers are on the way.

1. This is worth a guess but having trouble thinking of any famous structure in the north
2. Time to get the calculator out. Being child of the 70s I was there for the switch over to decimal
3. Well, I have not been to this airport as I do remember the airport codes for those that I have visited.  Going to have a guess.
4. Straight in there with this one
5. And this one, a well known proverb
6. Wondering if my school boy French will help with this one.  We’ll find out on Friday.
7. Another great reason to be of the 70s.  Remember Wagon Wheels, they’ve become so much smaller now.  How my mind went from the question to Wagon Wheels...... 

Some currencies you just remember
