Raimo, I am very fond of Lake Inari, having walked round it, driven
round it , flown over it and even contemplated diving into it post
sauna, BUT: The problem about getting into 'Mine is bigger than yours'
arguments is that even honourable fellows like you tend to lie through
their teeth! Lake Inari isn't a nice rectangular shape - it is more like
an octupus with measles. It' average height is around 28nm and average
width around 14nm. Being generous with the conversion, (because we like
you!) that is around 50 x 30 km or 1500 million sq metres. So you are
going to ask about seven people to sit/stand on each sq metre. That is
an even more ridiculous idea than Brexit!
Fond regards, David
