See - you don't need me (but thanks for the compliment of missing me - I'm rather tied up at the moment) We don't need you... but you see all that it took to get it on our own! It's good to see you back, in any case, despite the business. Your picture; the Hagia Sofia?

;D - None is even close.
Come on, you know me - if it looks like a mosque, it probably ain't!
It's on a hill, overlooking a famous city. The quarter to the south of it is a red light district, which through film, song and literature is rather infamous.

Casbah?

Cleg, you disappoint me - we already had the Casbah, and weren't you even the one who recognized it?
It's in a city I once lived in - that reduces it to 12 in three countries on two continents (no one of you has the possibility of knowing all of them, but the major ones were mentioned at some time)
A miniature copy of this prominent building is displayed at Legoland Windsor.

In the red light district mentioned above there is a famous mill.

I never lived in London ('living' meaning 'being resident in...'
So, no - not London. Not on the British Isles at all. (I haven't used the italics above for nothing)

In the red light district mentioned above there is a famous mill. The famous mill you mentioned, could it be the Moulin Rouge? ;D If so, it's Paris.

touché!
Yes, it is Paris - the building on the picture is on the hill overlooking Pigalle
And the building really is 'prominent' in the panorama view (not quite like the Eiffel Tower, of course - but very conspicuous)

OK - geography: These seven islands form a group which is relatively well known, though few can name all seven individually. What is the group's name, and what are the islands' names.

Hmm - to easy obviously - made it eight even. Should have asked which is which, maybe...?
I'll have to think about something more challenging then.
