I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend (back Sunday evening).

The question is - what does my Avatar represent?

jandyt could know the answer (or be close) - we'll see

Be imaginative

Its a world map showing different time zones and current daylight/night time - or poss geographical differences  ?

Does it represent someone who believes a map of the world is needed to travel from Durham to Edinburgh?

a giant broad-view GPS of our globe for airplanes ? or lost car-driving-school-students on  their first trip on the road ?........

or perhaps a map of the world with a zoom-in function, with wich you can locate every B&O owner all over the world.......

Too easy Puncher - it's a world map with colours indicating most likely fatal attacks by varying animals.

BLUE = Shark attack.

RED = Polar Bear attack.

WHITE = Penguin attack.

YELLOW = Camel or Australian bar man attack.

GREEN = Lion, Tiger, Hippo, Crocodile, Elephant, Alligator, Jaguar, Llama, Bear, Kangaroo or Duck billed Platypus attack.

What do I win?

Chris.

I can't belive none of you have got this, it's so easy!

Yes, it's a world map, but the colours are of little significance. It's the white dots!
A white dot signifies a town where---

A.  There is a Bang and Olufsen outlet
     and
B.  a Shetland Times reader (online)
     and
C.  a driving test center
     and
D.  a thriving Spanish-speaking community
     and
E.  a Black and Decker outlet
     and
F.  a Celtic Fiddle club.

How did you not all get that??

Its another climate change lecture, is it?

Competition closed.

Firstly I'd like to say that I'm very disappointed at the turn-out and the standard of the answers, I'm sure a full weekend of extensive research and study could have rewarded diligence with a correct entry (as it is, diligence didn't even enter) jandyt, who had a significant headstart, failed completely even though I told him he knew the answer.

From the pitiful entries I recieved I would say the closest was Medogsfat - close but no cigar!!

The correct answer was, of course, The Mean Annual Albedo of the earth's surface. I'll pitch the next one at Primary School level

Your feeble attempt to sully my name, just hours before the awards ceremony, are completely futile!
