Title: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: Yorkie on December 27, 2008, 11:05:29 AM
Hope this is okay to post.

If it was a mythical giant worm, then the Lambton Worm would be it and the place would be Penshaw near Chester-le Street.

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I

It was the more traditional human-shaped giant.

Sorry, not that one, but here's another clue: This "ending" was more self-inflicted.

The Giants name was Bell and he rode a sorrel horse, he decided to make three giant leaps the last one killing him.

Excellent research, how did you find that out? And Where the Heck Am I?
(PS his name was Bel and he started at Mountsorrel)
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: camallison on December 29, 2008, 01:13:57 PM
The Giants name was Bell and he rode a sorrel horse, he decided to make three giant leaps the last one killing him.

Just to fill in the detail:

Mountsorrel where, according to legend, a giant named Bel vowed to reach Leicester in three leaps, he mounted his sorrel stead in Mountsorrel, leaped as far as Wanlip (pronounced one leap) leaped again to Birstall, so called because the horse and saddle burst apon the impact .He just managed to leap a third time, but the horse and rider dropped dead a mile and a half short of Leicester and were buried in a place named Belgrave. So you are in Belgrave.

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: HPsauce on December 29, 2008, 04:08:31 PM
Not Belgrave (that's the grave, obviously).
There are minor variations on the story so I guess you win for knowing it in detail.
According to the locals in Birstall that's where he (and Sorrel) died, attempting the 3rd leap.

There may be a bevvy or two afterwards of Wickwar Station Porter.

Brock is part of the answer.

The ONLY Brock I know is Brock Bottoms in Lancashire  but the  Wickwar Station Porter is from Gloucestershire   ...  and  where the Frenchman comes in I've no idea, except that blaireau is badger in French  !!!!    now is there a place called Blaireau in Gloucester  ?? ..back to the drawing board  :'(

Kate, Ness Point is one of our great landmarks, but when you go there, there's nothing there apart from a signpost marking the spot.  It should be a big tourist attraction, and a great selling point for the town of Lowestoft, but sadly it's not.  Before the signpost was erected, you could walk past it and not know that you were at the most easterly point of the British mainland.

Peeling  (I call it that too !)   peelers, policeMEN    ?    There is a Robert Peel statue in Parliament Square, London  (one in Bury too !)  but can't see the a connection with that   :'(     I'm swiftly losing my Joie de Vivre    ;D

Scrambled eggs is correct.

Thinking cap back on, but if this rapper is one of those dreadful pop-person type rappers, then I am lost.

Post by: scottiesmum on January 16, 2009, 10:27:18 PM
No,  No-one near 'geographically' yet   but Nottingham could give a clue !! 

You are all doing 'fine work'   -  look at the original clue  .... It may not tie your shoe, but it should give you a clue !

Another bit of help  ..... 

A dream county that could contain a typo  !! 



Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: tuftedduck on January 17, 2009, 07:30:37 AM
Hmm  :hmm:

Nottingham takes us to lace making and/or tatting, could the dream county be Bedfordshire ?
Get a clue might be to cotton on to something...........and you can make lace with cotton

Are we at Cotton End ?
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: scottiesmum on January 17, 2009, 08:31:28 AM
Ooooooooooo  TD   you are getting warm   ... but don't cotton on to anything  !!     not Bedfordshire     .. think    - dream county that could contain a typo  !! 

OK   .... another bit of help  .....     bees give heavy harvest  ......

I have a feeling Yorkie, Chrissie or Kitz might know this  ...................and that's another clue  !!!!   ;)
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: tuftedduck on January 17, 2009, 08:48:40 AM
An important traditional industry in a little Devon town was lacemaking, and all these bees making honey that weighs lots, and Devon could be a divan with a typo..........can't think where some of the more elegant and graceful of the Kitizens come into it, but...................are we at Honiton.

 ;D

well so far   ....   staunch  ... can be to stop the flow  ...  so are we near water ?        staunch can also mean of strong construction,  is it a Dam perhaps  ?   

steady    ????    perhaps a boat/ship term   ??      .. water keeps coming to mind  ? :'( :'(      or is my mind wandering again  ;D

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: camallison on February 10, 2009, 02:40:04 PM
I lived near Whitby as a child and it was obviously of great interest to a 14 year-old avid reader!!!!

Copied from an obscure website for your enjoyment:

What is the connection between Whitby and Dracula? First of all, Whitby figures quite centrally in a significant section of the novel Dracula (Chapters 6-8). It is where the Russian ship "Demeter" comes ashore and is the location of the first encounters between Dracula and Lucy. Today, there are many points of interest for the Dracula enthusiast in Whitby.

One of the highlights is the Bram Stoker Memorial seat. It was the view from this spot that inspired Stoker's Whitby scenes. One can look straight across the harbor and can see the ruins of the Abbey, the Church, and the stone steps. And just to the left is the cliff where the "Demeter" came ashore. There is an inscription on the bench which reads as follows: "The view from this spot inspired Bram Stoker (1847-1912) to use Whitby as the setting of part of his world-famous novel DRACULA. This seat was erected by Scarborough Borough Council and the Dracula Society to mark the 68th Anniversary of Stoker's death - April 20th 1980".

The most prominent landmark in Whitby is the ruin of Whitby Abbey, which was sacked by the Danes. As Stoker writes, "It is a most noble ruin, of immense size, and full of beautiful and romantic bits.... Between it and the town there is another church, the parish one, round which is a big graveyard, all full of tombstones".

It was at Whitby that Stoker "discovered" the name "Dracula." While vacationing there in the summer of 1890, just months after he began writing his vampire novel, he visited the local library and borrowed a book entitled An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia (1820) by William Wilkinson. He took several notes from it (now part of his papers housed at the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia.) Wilkinson's book includes a short section on a "voivode Dracula" who fought against the Turks. Though the information was sketchy, one item attracted Stoker's attention (he copied it verbatim into his notes): a footnote that "Dracula in the Wallachian language means Devil." Stoker decided to change the name of his vampire Count from "Wampyr" to "Dracula". An inspired decision!

Sorry I was absent yesterday, but my brain cell is refreshed and firing again today.

Having consulted my thesaurus, there are about three million synonyms for 'beat'...

South and west of Nelson is Chester, and 'beat' could be 'win', so I want to say Winchester, but I don't see any meat connection. :(

I am intrigued by unkyUb's use of the past tense in the original clue, so I thought of historical figures, female, who had especial references to her hair.

Lady  Godiva rode through the streets of Coventry wearing nothing but her long hair, and on a high horse.

Are we at Coventry ?  :-\

Hmm.. deuterium is used in nuclear fusion, and is obtained from heavy water.

It's also used as a moderator ( :) ) in nuclear reactors to produce plutonium.

All of which is very educational but not getting me anywhere. I would put on my thinking cap, but I can't remember where I left it.

Kitz   you are very close but need to use  'to joke' in Dutch and then fit a  foyer  suffix on the end  !

>>> the correct derivation of the suffix Kil

Did you mean 'prefix'?

This one seems possible:

"Basically Kil means church, so for example Kildare (Cill Dara in modern Irish), originally derived from Cell Dara in Old Irish, meaning "Church of the Oak".
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: tuftedduck on April 25, 2009, 06:49:55 AM
Yes, sorry, meant prefix........ :-[

Good explanation............the additional bit I was looking foe is that "Kil" is a gaelic/erse pronunciation of "cell" meaning a monk's cell................."Kil" marks where a christian church of either denomination was built on the site of an old monk's cell.

You're so close (although not geographically). It's a loch in the Scottish Borders.

Just to summarise the clues:

Avian = female chicken
fertiliser = what comes out of the back end

The answer is a loch in a nature reserve in the Scottish Borders.

The whole ethos of the Christian Church is based on the cruxifiction on the cross, and the subsequent resurrection.

The Church may, then, in modern parlance, be described as having been sold on the idea of the cross.

Sold on....... :hmm:

"I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over."

Sorry TD, I've been otherwise occupied. The word is rill of course. Shiloah is in Eastern Jerusalem, and there are many references to the waters of Shiloah but I haven't seen any translation of the word.

I've been thinking about shady. Is this by any chance the other meaning of the word, as in 'a shady character'?

@ kate - yes the ferry still runs but only in the summer...  and youre quite right theres nothing much there

(http://www.wyrebc.gov.uk/page.aspx?ImgID=2748.)

BTW you may joke about row-boats... but these are the size of the ships that come in up the estuary, despite it being so narrow.

If we're talking about typographical fonts, then the world, as Hercule Poirot once said, is our lobster. But looking through the list of standard Windows fonts, the only 'old fashioned' names which leap out are Roman, Gothic, Antiqua and Trebuchet...

Think of what you might do to fruit to deconstruct it ........ press?

Think of a fruit that is black, found in hedgerows and take away the colour?

Then work on "sounds like", using a version of the past tense on the first part

That was my pocket money.......my Saturday Sixpence.............when I first got it in the early 1930s. it was worth a fair bit but over the years it seemed to decline in value..but I never got a pay rise.

The village sweetie shop was then owned and run by my aunt and uncle and they were under strict instructions from my Ma as to my limits on boiling buying....one penny a week on that and the rest into my piggy-bank.  ;D

Fleet as in fast
Wood another name for bowl.

Fleetwood?

Here goes. A wooden bowl makes a drumming sound as it rolls down the green.
I believe some bowls are made from oak.
The only place I can make that fit is Drumoak  in Aberdeenshire. So that is my guess

Drumoak.

Your really are working hard at this one, unfortunately in the wrong direction.

Big clues here. Think of a 1965 plane crash film starring James Stewart and Richard Attenborough.
You probably are too young to remember that one  ;), so it was remade in 2004. Get that and the shoots will follow.

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on March 30, 2010, 07:47:40 AM
A little clarification is needed if you would be so kind please.

Are we looking for a place name that sounds like the phrase "it comes after tea", or something that sounds like something that comes after tea?
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: roseway on March 30, 2010, 08:07:03 AM
It sounds like something which comes after something which sounds like tea. >:D
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on March 30, 2010, 09:21:46 AM
Well 'lea' sounds like tea and 'line' sounds like time for tea time.

So are we in Lea Line, Herefordshire? :-\
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: roseway on March 30, 2010, 10:11:40 AM
Sorry again :no:

You want something which sounds exactly like 'tea'. Then you want to decide what comes after it. ;)

Perhaps you need to think more alphabetically...

Clutching at straws now.

Tea Green, Hertfordshire?
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: roseway on March 30, 2010, 12:41:07 PM
I'm probably being a bit too obscure...

Thinking alphabetically, what sounds like 'tea', and what follows it, and what are these things?
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on March 30, 2010, 01:41:21 PM
I must be being a bit thick here. I notice everybody else is quiet.

Sea sounds like tea and it is first alphabetically. Now I can't find anything to put after sea the would sound like cakes, biscuits or anything like that. Am I on the right track, or does someone else who is brighter than me want to take a guess?

Still  :) though.
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: roseway on March 30, 2010, 01:49:26 PM
It's probably a clue worthy of you-know-who :lol:

'T' sounds like 'tea' ... what follows it, and what word does that sound like?

There, I've practically given you the answer ::)
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on March 30, 2010, 02:07:33 PM
I'm trying that persons logic as well. U follow T and sounds like ewe.

I'm back, but heavily involved in something involving making lots of money (no, not printing it!   :)  )  Can I take a long break dear kitizens?  Once we have all our ducks (TDs?) in a row, I will say more on one of the daily chats.

ss44 - you can't shut me up!   :D

The essence of it is to take municipal solid waste (black bag stuff), and produce energy/electricity - 10MW+ minimum for each plant.  NO incinerators involved and we take any waste except nuclear.  We can even take clinical waste.  NO pollution either - just inert slags.   I have taken on the job of chairman of a team with whom I have worked before and we already have 3 letters of intent.  I stand to share in any profits (my share 5%).  If/when it begins to earn me money, I will take all the regulars here to a slap up meal at Maisie's favourite hostelry - next to a camping ground so that our camping friends can roll out to their beds - promise!

If Virginia is a tobacco and you smoke it you get ash. You could cure it using salt.

The result could be Saltash, Cornwall? :-\

A lot of thinking there Scottiesmum.
My solution has a little more research in it. Still might be wrong though.
After curing tobacco is sorted into grades or "prizes" and then made into 'hogsgeads' for shipping.

So I am going for...................Higher Hogshead, Lancashire.  :-\

Had been thinking of Bayble in Lewis which, in TD's gaelic would have been pronounced Paball ( see, Pa Ball )..........but have just noticed that on the English maps it is spelt Pabail.............so you would have difficulty in finding it.

TD retires from the scene in disgrace...no doubt one of the stalwarts will pick up the reins and carry on.

Oh dear! I do seem to have you puzzled this time.
Think of another name for a pig in general. Not boar but another name, they have them on the road as well. You probably meet them on your travels.
Once you get the first part just follow your nose so to speak and you will find the rest.  :sick:

A settlement could be selling something, shorten selling to sel.
Now we come to cheap which could mean common.
Now I can't find a Sel Common, but I can find a Selston Common in Nottinghamshire. Could this be it ?

I suppose if you're a foody, then 'eston might be your friend :)

But no, sorry, although you're making progress. There's another word for 'attack', which is usually used with a preposition adverb when it's a physical attack, but on its own it can be a mental attack. ;)

Well her tune "Black and White Rag" became the signature tune for "Pot Black".
So if there is a place called Winifred then that must be it.

Winifred, Rotherham

Maybe you don't have them where you live, sorry, I thought they were all over the country.
If you get rid of/deposit your bottles in a bank it is called a bottlebank around here. Now you need a place that sounds like bottlebank.

If there were it wouldn't be what you are looking for. I am surprised this has you stumped.

Well if I have the answer wrong I will give part of it away with my thoughts about this Doctor. He may be named Dr. Dolittle.
Now the main clue you gave us is about character in the original story of Dr. Dolittle and was a cross between a Gazelle & Unicorn.
The only place I have found is........Gazeley, Suffolk. That's my guess.

The way you have written your last clue leads me to think the place name has deer in it.

I have found a place called Reed Point in Lincolnshire. Point being a head also so that would be my next guess.

Reed Point, Lincolshire.

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: roseway on June 08, 2010, 10:45:41 AM
This is probably a bit of an evil clue. You might like to start with the uses of cut grass...
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: scottiesmum on June 08, 2010, 11:36:05 AM
I've been puzzling on this one   ......  the French connection leads me to  Foin  ... which is hay  which is cut grass    ...!      there is a Foindle in the Highlands    ....  are we there perhaps ?

  
  (  foindling  is possibly something the French would do as opposed to the English  fondling    :lol: :lol: :lol: )    is that an evil enough answer ?  :D :angel:
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: roseway on June 08, 2010, 11:53:41 AM
It's evil enough, but not the right answer. Rather too subtle for my brain cell, to be honest. ;D

You were right about the cut grass, but you didn't need to translate it into French... ;)
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: scottiesmum on June 08, 2010, 12:08:59 PM


....what about Haydon in Somerset   ?  .....  I suppose you could   'don' cut grass   :'(      (grass skirt comes to mind  :D  )   ...   I'm not holding my breath on this one   ;D

Definitely a good decision... ;D

You've got the 'hay' bit. Now you need to bring in the franglais, by which I mean a mangled mixture of French and English. ;)

now find the Yorkshire town   .....   it was famous once for wool !

I think I got it completely wrong ss44. I was thinking it was in reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor

Story is about two families and a place called Ravenswood Castle. Was a total stab in the dark =)

Edit: No TD I love a good bit of Opera too!

Well done T.

A quick guess at your clue....................Low Bridge, Wiltshire?
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: tuftedduck on June 29, 2010, 04:50:24 PM
Hi, ss44.......the Lammermuir Hills are real, lying south of Edinburgh.

The opera connection is the title of the Donizetti work "Lucia di Lammermoor"

The nearest to that I can find is................The Fall, West Yorkshire.  Maybe that's it ?

Hehe ss44,

A small mound could be a hillock, and there was a cowboy called Lavern Berry (but I don't know if he was desperate) so I'll take a guess at Berryhillock in Moray... :-\

(There are several other cowboys called Berry as well.)

Ooooooooo   well done Eric  ...  I had a "walk" up the A947   ....   I saw Morrisons Motors, Gorrachie, Plaidy and few other places, but only two hills ...   Gellyhill and Keilhill  ..    I looked up Dan Keil and Dan Gelly, in case they were cowboys  ;D   and it's amazing how many people have these names (some of them may well be 'cowboys'  :D ) .....   all to no avail  ....  and then ...voila !  Eric has the answer  ..... and I didn't see that on my walk  ;D
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I

It's quite a long walk from Banff to Turriff, so I think you would probably have needed refreshment half way - somewhere near Danshillock. :lol:

Take your pick.
They are all correct.
The reason is a spelling mistake in the Gazetteer . One Gibraltar was spelt with an e as in Gibralter. There isn't one.

There are many a Jack, but only one Little Jack, Little Jack Horner. But I can't find a brother for him. So I'll go for Robert Charleton, aka Bobby Charleton.

Gourdon, Aberdeenshire.

Fluid ounces.... :no:
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on September 11, 2010, 04:39:48 PM
If we are not talking fluid ounces the are we talking dry ounces? If we are then 1 dram = 60 grains or 1/8th of an ounce or 3.89 grams.
That means 4 drams is 4 times the amount.
Another meaning of a dram is a small quantity of anything, so we have 4 time a small amount of anything.
In other words I'm still no wiser.  :swoon:

Old Norse origin gave this place it's meaning.

Post by: tuftedduck on September 16, 2010, 06:57:22 AM
 :hmm:

From that, I presume we at looking at a connection with Yggdrasil, the Old Norse sacred ash tree which was the gateway between heaven and earth........translated as Odin's Horse.

Still can't identify a place...will keep trying.. :-\

I'm back... ;D

Yggdrasil protected three realms, one of which was Asgard...................so could we be in Lincolnshire, at Asgarby  :-\
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on September 16, 2010, 08:32:04 AM
Sorry, but   :no:
According to my readings the name is not of mythology more of translation in language.
To get away from mythology and such, maybe if I said its name denoted Viking settlements. It became quite famous for clockmaking, hand-knitting as well as other trades.

Here goes, fish + pond gives fishpond.
The nearest I can find is Fishponds, Gloucestershire. Is that the place we are looking for?

Sorry :no:

I believe that the mathematical study of sets can be of great value in solving logic problems...

(e.g. A AND C AND (NOT B) = green)

If I remember correctly the longbow was made from willow so maybe

Bowbeck, Suffolk is what we are looking for.  :-\

Previous answers were half right. What's flexible and made from willow?
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I

Not as far as I know :)

...but you've got two more of the letters. ;)

The willow varieties which are particularly good for this are osiers... :wall:

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on November 02, 2010, 06:59:13 PM
Is Withybrook any good because there's two of them. One in Warwickshire and one in Somerset.

Post by: roseway on November 02, 2010, 07:07:02 PM
>>> Withybrook

That's the one (or two) :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:

(For the benefit of those who need to know, a withy is a strong flexible stick cut from a pollarded tree, usually willow. Lesson over. ;D )

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I

Wealth could be money, and a common place could be a village green, which makes me think of Moneyrow Green in Berkshire. But I can't see the French voice there... :-\

Post by: silversurfer44 on November 16, 2010, 05:49:30 PM
Well a park is a common place, Savile Row is said to be for the wealthy and sounds a bit French.
So I'm going for (Puts on my best french accent) Savile Park, Yorkshire?

 :no:  Sorry to both  ......   

If you look at  'wealthy'  I purposely put the wealth bit in bold letters   ...... ;)   don't forget this is cryptic  .....   and perhaps not just common ;) ;)    ....then you might just get the French connection ! :fingers:

Do the answers have to be locations in GB ???

If not, is the answer ..... St Kitts ??? ......... 'Thoroughfare' = St. ........... 'Sounds like - poetry' = Keats sounds similar to Kitts.

Extremely weak logic I know. But, it is Friday which means I have a few glasses of wine to wash the week away, which in turn allows my brain and thought-processes to  become complete mush.  ??? :P

The name of the place has to be in the British Isles and the name of a real place.
A mushy brain is a prerequisite for this game. ;D

Now I recall a poet by the name of Robert Penn and there is a place called ............... Penn Street in Buckinghamshire. Maybe this is what we are looking for.

Is it just me ?????? These type of clues/answers could be applied to probably quite a few streets in most towns, cities in the British Isles. As I've never been to Kent, I would need to have some form of divine intervention to allow me to get to 'Oad St - Kent' as the answer. It could quite easily have been 'Prose Avenue - Gwent'.

Ah well ......... have you cracked mine yet Duck ?? Don't pretend you haven't looked at it, as most cryptic crossers I know would go without food and sleep until they'd cracked it !! ;D ;D



5th coil first is not important. ( its a well known tourist TOWN)

Breaks every rule, I know, but folk living outside of Kent might have a chance of getting it. ;) ;D ;)

Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: razpag on February 26, 2011, 01:43:31 PM
OK, slight error on my part .............. it could be 'Pro's Avenue' then.  ;D

But, I 'm sure you get my point Duck. ;)

Now get going on my personal clue to you  :P. You won't need a Road Atlas (thank the lord), you will have heard of this place many, many times.

Er, No, I don't understand !! Are the 'rules' determined by the number of posts one has comitted, or the 'status' of the individual ???

I really do believe that the 'cryptic clues' on this particular game are so open to abuse it's untrue. I'm not trying to "Spoil it", just questioning the rules Duck. I shouldn't have to have an AA Roadmap at my side to answer a cryptic clue, !!!! I regularly attempt the Daily Express Crossword without the need for Atlas's, Roadmaps or the atmospehric pressure graphs of the local hillsides to realise the answer !!!

It all seems a bit 'Our gang' to me. I'm sure you understand. ;D
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on February 26, 2011, 07:52:13 PM
Please allow me to explain. The idea of this very simple game is to guess where the person setting the clue is. The ensuing clues are not particularly cryptic, although sometimes they are. It's not a game for our clan, it is for any member to take part. Some of the clues are logic some are not. The particiapnts are trying to work out where the OP of the particular clue is. The way to get a turn at providing a clue one has to correctly guess where the OP is. Get it right and you get the chance to put your clue on the board.
It's that simple.  :)

Post by: roseway on February 26, 2011, 08:02:51 PM
Colin has just about explained it. The only thing I would add is that an atlas and/or an online gazetteer are more or less essential to solve the clues, unless you happen by chance to know the place concerned. I think the misunderstanding is that you believed that the clues are all cryptic and can be solved without an atlas or whatever. That isn't the case.

Please don't be offended - nobody is getting at you, and we would welcome your taking part.

I've been exploring   !!     Someone called  Leapy Lee, was born Graham Pulleyblank. In  1968 apparently, he had a song in the charts called Little Arrows.

The raptor is not the only one confused. Reading through your clues TD. Where does the water come in and since when was Derbyshire South West of Berkshire?
Sorry 4candles I have to try and clear that up.

On with your clue.
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: tuftedduck on July 10, 2011, 02:59:37 PM
@ ss44

The large amount of water being crossed in a south westerly direction was to try and lead you to South America...the home of the Condor......and you very nearly arrived there having worked out the logic when you suggested the Falkland Islands.
I don't see any previous reference to Berkshire.

Off to puzzle over 4candles clue.

You are pointing us at Axe/Ax .........but I cannot see an Australian connection, or a river connection... :-[
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on October 03, 2011, 07:54:33 AM
Axe is the river.
The connection is the river.
There is no Australian connection.
The original clue was 'Now this place sounds like it should be in Australia.'

Well if this is the same Molly from Dublin's fair city then here wares would be shellfish, in particular cockles & muscles.

The Transit van of course is/was manufactured by The Ford motor company.

Welcome back 4candles. Sorry but no.
Right in thinking of cofferdam as a barrier, however it was used mainly for casting. A small one had another name.

I've just looked at the Google Map and to be honest unless you know where it is  .....  it is rather difficult to find   :-[  However it is mentioned on the Gazetter.

You need to be out to sea-----far north  ....   there's a rather large place named after a pony  ................  then paddle out to "a small egg from the sturgeon " .....  well perhaps paddle is the wrong word  ;D

Sorry for baffling and being late on parade.
Scotties mum was nearly there when putting Gilbert & Sullivan together.
Think of an earlier production than Mikado and take half of that title.
Find a place that sounds like one half.
It is also a kind of gardening.

I hope that helps.
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: scottiesmum on January 16, 2012, 03:38:02 PM
Well,   perhaps my lunchy today will help  my grey matter  ;D

I've settled on TRIal  by Jury  for the GS link  ---- the half bit has me baffled  ...  but I know there is a form of gardening called Triangle Gardening   ..... and there's a place called Triangle in W.Yorkshire   (Colin-land  :D )  ......      so I'll try that ,with not a lot of confidence  ;D)
Title: Re: Where the Heck Am I
Post by: silversurfer44 on January 16, 2012, 03:55:17 PM
And you worked so hard on that. :no: Sorry.
There is another type of gardening which is also called upside down. There is a planter with the same name. There is also a Gilbert & Sullivan Opera which is a sort of biography and superseded Mikado. The name of all these things as two syllables, you just need one of them. ;D

Er, well, as SS44 intimated, Topsy Turvy is an upside down gardening method, a planter used for such, and the name of a 1999 G & S bio-pic. Take one term - voila!

Dip - yep, keep that in mind

Theatrical part - think of the performance rather than the building...   ;)
