Re: Puzzle 2
The problem with this one is that I can't even recall having seen it anywhere so I don't have anywhere I'm even thinking of going - besides, I was going to stay in tomorrow and iron shirts.

Re: Puzzle 2

Re: Puzzle 2
I'd forgotten all about this one. Is it perchance round the back of the Yorkshire Bank somewhere?

>> (I'm clutching at straws)<<
You are rather, arent you! No it isn't Broughtons.
BTW, I have just been having a look back at some of the old puzzle pics, they were rather entertaining weren't they?

Re: Puzzle 2
Some of them were quite a challenge - love the one about the bank in Union Rd. We even took our own photos of that one and the one Tealeaf thought it was to show the difference, lol.

Re: Puzzle 2
The funny thing was the day we were up there taking the photos there were a few other people about with cameras too and Busman said he wondered if any of them were secretly AccyWeb members who we hadn't met yet!

Re: Puzzle 2
Bl**dy marvellous, I forgot about these. What’s happening A-B is the Acrylic-Biff refusing to walk to any new and interesting areas of our fair state, “and lets face it, is a state”? I for one “although pretty crap at it” enjoyed these little challenges and greatly appreciated your efforts on our behalf. And just think of how much you have contributed to the health of accywebbers, traipsing round the town looking for clues. May I say, if you where to start things off again you could do so as part of you therapy towards kicking the habit.
