Good morning Diablos, hope that helps.

Clearly they are all former PM's but Henry Addington was PM from 1801 - 1804 so the compiler is really going back and testing our knowledge of British history:-)

Good morning brendan and many thanks.

Morning, Brendan. I've never had you down as a slacker, so how about 7 A?

PS I don't mind the theme, PMs, but going back to 1801 seems a bit … of a struggle.

7, Aberdeen.
Japanese PM is Shinzo "Abe", "r" for rule, and anagram of "Eden".

Thanks, Rusty - I like having things all rounded off (even if I haven't participated!).
