***Where am I now?*** (game) (2)

[Box Brownie]

Almost too easy. Westminster Abbey, 20th Century Martyrs Statues.

Only almost Derek ;)

Yes that is the one. Over to you.

[DDCSD]

Headed to work again, so I'll leave it open.

[Pete]

Allow me (will probably be dead easy to some people).

[Roy Mathers]

An office building?

[Pete]

An office building?

The building at the end probably is, but that's not what's wanted here. The location of the archway is what's needed.

[Roy Mathers]

Royal Bank of Scotland?

[Pete]

Royal Bank of Scotland?

I'm not looking for a business here. I have no idea if that building is owned by RBOS or not. I'll concede that it's in the UK.

[Roy Mathers]

Is it in Scotland?

[Pete]

Is it in Scotland?

I'm really that predictable, aren't I? :D

No, not in Scotland.

[Roy Mathers]

I'm really that predictable, aren't I? :D

No, not in Scotland.
:D:D Is it in London then?

[Pete]

Yeah.. London... Getting warmer.

[Roy Mathers]

Is it in the City?

[Pete]

Yes, in the heart of the city...

[PeteJaffa]

Paternoster Square?

[Roy Mathers]

Leadenhall Street or Lime Street?

[Pete]

Paternoster Square?

Bingo... You got it dead on.

I did say that some people would get it right away....

[PeteJaffa]

Thanks Pete.

I have been beckoned. If someone could go in my place that would be great. To keep the flow etc etc.

[Roy Mathers]

Paternoster Square was going to be my next guess darn it!

[Pete]

Paternoster Square was going to be my next guess darn it!

Yeah, I know mate, I know... ;)

Scotland, indeed!

[Roy Mathers]

Yeah, I know mate, I know... ;)

Honest!

Scotland, indeed!

:D:D

[SoccerRef]

Keep it going with what Roy? There's no photo...

[Roy Mathers]

Sorry, I made a mistake and had to delete the photo, but here it is (it's a scan).

ummm...I just guessed at the city, if correct, you nailed the details. Chalk it up to team work.:D

[Roy Mathers]

Sorry for the delay folks; I had to go out. I thought this would last a lot longer. It's a funny thing about this game that the ones you think are difficult, and vice versa. Anyway you got it Tom - and well done. Over to you.

[tomd]

you got it Tom - and well done. Over to you.

I don't have anything to post on this computer. Open for anyone to post!:)

Not in Florida.

[monty28428]

Yes Hawaii.

[monty28428]

Yes on the Big Island.

[monty28428]

edit: Derek already confirmed. nice job Monty

[monty28428]

Thanks Derek I saw a photo close to it here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/frankfarm/673318140/) a while ago but dismissed it as being wrong :-( Then went back to it and did another search....

Maybe a little harder than my last one.... WAIN

I was in the parking lot that you can see in the photos after the first one.

NC?

[tomd]

South Carolina;)

[monty28428]

Yes NC... do I sound like a record ?

[tomd]

Where did you go for lunch yesterday?

[monty28428]

Somewhere nearby Tom :-)

[tomd]

Swannanoa, NC ?

[monty28428]

Never even heard of it Tom -- I must go there now!

[tomd]

Is this called Hunter Pond?

[monty28428]

No it's not Tom -- but I see why you would think so. As far as I know the pond itself does not have a name...

[tomd]

Is this part of a State Park?

[DDCSD]

No it's not Tom -- but I see why you would think so. As far as I know the pond itself does not have a name...

I think a good name would be "Monty's Pond."

[monty28428]

It is listed as County Park Tom.... that should narrow it down a bit :-)

[Roy Mathers]

Keziah Memorial Park?

[Roy Mathers]

Brunswick River Park?

[monty28428]

Sorry Roy wrong county but close :-)

[Roy Mathers]

Pender County?

[monty28428]

Not Pender county...

[Roy Mathers]

Columbus County?

[monty28428]

Not Columbus County Roy... hint maybe the county I live in

[Roy Mathers]

I thought you lived in Brunswick County - that's why I guessed it!

[Roy Mathers]

Folly Beach?

[Roy Mathers]

Hugh MacRae Park?

[monty28428]

Hugh MacRae Park?

That would be it Roy! Good job and over to you.

Sorry for the delay but have been in and out of meetings all day :-(

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks, Monty. Here's the next one.

[tomd]

is this in the middle-east?

[Roy Mathers]

No, Tom, it isn't.

[Scorpio]

European?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it's European.

[PeteJaffa]

Is it some sort of timepiece/calendar?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[tomd]

is this a religous marker, perhaps pointing east?

[Roy Mathers]

No, it's not.

[PeteJaffa]

Italy?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[AZTBS]

It look like some kind of symbol of unity - French and Italian? Or is it three parties? Is it located in France?

[Roy Mathers]

No, it's not.

[PeteJaffa]

It looks like an abstract map of some kind. (not an official guess because that's pretty absurd)

[AZTBS]

Does its symbolism have something to do with the separation of church and state?

[Roy Mathers]

That's an intelligent surmise, but that isn't really the case.

[Roy Mathers]

It looks like an abstract map of some kind. (not an official guess because that's pretty absurd)


I'll ignore it then, shall I?:D

[PeteJaffa]

I'll ignore it then, shall I?:D

Yes, move along, nothing to see here. :)

[monty28428]

UK ?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it's in the UK.

[DDCSD]

England?

[Box Brownie]

Is this the Carnarvon Castle in Wales and the location of the investiture of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales???

Just looked again at the symbols and this is an inspired guess?

[Scorpio]

Is the pointy-arrow-type-thing pointing in a significant direction?

[Roy Mathers]

England?

Yes.

Is this the Carnarvon Castle in Wales and the location of the investiture of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales???

No.

Is the pointy-arrow-type-thing pointing in a significant direction?


Not that I'm aware of.

[DDCSD]

London?

[Roy Mathers]

No, it's not in London.

[Roy Mathers]

It's bedtime for me now folks, so I'll leave you to your searching and catch up in the morning.

[Roy Mathers]

No more thoughts on this one?

[DDCSD]

Is this in a fairly large city?

[archaeoman]

Is it on the island of Guernsey?

[Roy Mathers]

It's difficult to define a 'fairly large city', but I can tell you that this city is larger than Rapid City but not as large as San Francisco.

[DDCSD]

It's difficult to define a 'fairly large city', but I can tell you that this city is larger than Rapid City but not as large as San Francisco.

That'll do, trying to get rid of the little villages I guess.

[Roy Mathers]

Is it on the island of Guernsey?

No, it isn't on Guernsey (Guernsey isn't in England:D)

[Roy Mathers]

That'll do, trying to get rid of the little villages I guess.


It certainly isn't a little village.

[AZTBS]

Is it in a museum, one of the roman villas, or a public street?

[Roy Mathers]

It's in a public street.

[monty28428]

I give :-) It looks like it would be easy to find too....

Southern England ?

[Roy Mathers]

If you know what to look for, it's easy enough!:D

Yes, it's in Southern England.

[monty28428]

Ok here I go then... Cornwall ?

[monty28428]

Devon ?

[monty28428]

Somerset ?

[monty28428]

Dorset ?

[monty28428]

Wiltshire ?

[monty28428]

Hampshire ?

[monty28428]

Berkshire ?

[monty28428]

West Sussex ?

[monty28428]

East Sussex ?

[monty28428]

Surrey ?

[monty28428]

Kent ?

[Roy Mathers]

It looks like you're going through all the counties in southern England! Where do I start? All your guesses are wrong except one - and that's Hampshire.:D

[monty28428]

Shotgun approach :-) Haven't done that in a while!!

[monty28428]

Hampshire Jubilee Sculpture by Rachel Fenner 2003
Outside Winchester Law Courts ??

[Roy Mathers]

That's the one Monty - but it does have a name. How did you find it (your method should also give you the name quite quickly).

[monty28428]

Hmm... thought I gave the name

Found this addition to it:

"And don't miss the latest addition to the city's collection: the Coronation Jubilee Sculpture by Hampshire-based Rachel Fenner, outside the Law Courts, unveiled by the Queen at the end of 2003."

[tiler65]

http://www.hants.gov.uk/pbr/jubileesculpture/index.html

Here is all the info on it.

[Roy Mathers]

Of course you've got it Monty, but locally it's called the Alfred Stone. Over to you. By the way, how did you find it?

[monty28428]

Ah the name of one of the parts of the whole... I did a flickr search with "Hampshire UK sculpture" :-)


Tough one Roy!

Give me a few and I'll get the next WAIN up.

[monty28428]

Well this is a cr*py scan but certainly enough to figure it out

WAIN

[Roy Mathers]

I guess that this is not North Carolina?

[monty28428]

Your guess would be correct Roy :lol:

[Roy Mathers]

Europe?

[monty28428]

Yes Europe.

[Roy Mathers]
