We've
all had boyfriend and girlfriends who have had small . . . pay packets
- but what else is there out there that deserves highlighting for
its perfect smallness?
Here's
a few things to get you thinking:
Oldest
model village in the world
Bekonscot in Beaconsfield, Bucks, dates back to 1929 - and offers
six miniature villages each with their own tiny population!
The
smallest theatre in the world
Transformed from an old Victorian Gentleman's lavatory, this unusual
venue in Great Malvern is now famed for being the smallest theatre
in the world - certified by the Guinness Book of Records since June
2000!

smallest pub probably serves pints - and shorts |
The
smallest pub in Britain
The Smith's Arms in Godmanston, Dorset was once a blacksmith's shop,
and is now the smallest public house in England.King Charles II
stopped here to have his horses shoed - the King asked for a drink
and the blacksmith told him that he didn't have a licence. And so
the King then granted him one!
The
smallest car in the world
A remote controlled model car from Australia is reputed to be the
world's smallest, measuring 5 millimeters or 0.2 inches in length,
and just over 3 millimeters or 0.12 inches high - slightly larger
than a grain of rice!
The
smallest website
I've managed to find the smallest website, it's full of arcade
games, but they all fit into a screen which is 18x18 screen. http://www.guimp.com
Send
us your ideas and any photos (jpg please) to threecounties@bbc.co.uk.
The best will be posted on here.

is a picture sent to me by my son who works in Ecuador. It is
a small frog, and you can see how tiny he is by my sons hand
(protected in a rubber glove). This is in contrast to some of
the pictures of enormous bugs he has sent! |

| Seeing
that these 'small' items are not restricted to 'three counties',
the smallest house in great Britain is in Conwy, Gwynedd and
is approx 6ft wide x 10 ft high. It has only one room upstairs
& one room downstairs. Apparently a 6' 6" man lived in this
house. Well worth a visit |
