Members of this list lives on Sjælland/Zeeland. The danish capital
Copenhagen is on that island. Ven and Saltholm is more inbetween yes...
Saltholm is that large spec of nothingness you lay your eyes on when
landing at Copenhagen Airport Kastrup, which is located on another
island called Amager.
I must recall looking at the clock in the Copenhagen City hall, Jens
Olsen's World clock:

always forget that.
