I had to look up Pillock to determine if it was a geographic place. Not. Might we please carry on with the game?

Saying Big Ben is not a place but a bell is like saying Eiffel tower is not a place but a tower.
Besides, the rules of engagement were i don't comment your posts, which i ignore for 98pc of the time, and you should ignore mine.
Should not be too hard no ? Esp if you just comment to split hair.

I looked it up & it is indeed the bell even though many people (me, for instance) have always thought it was the tower & the bell.
Regardless, the entry has been played off of & we're now on the word Torgau, a German town.
Let's just play the game & leave negative comments about nationalities out of it.
My entry:
Gaul -- region of Western Europe first described by the Romans. It was inhabited by Celtic and Aquitani tribes, encompassing present day France, Luxembourg, Belgium, most of Switzerland, and parts of Northern Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany, particularly the west bank of the Rhine. (wikipedia)
