Pinkmouse Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 20 minutes to do puzzle, then just confused. Frankly, by the end of this quiz I'll be dead chuffed just to have worked out one answer, (or even worked out what the link is between the question and answer once the solution is announced! ). Sir, you have a twisted, evil mind!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted December 28, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2010 Day 3 answer There's a bit of Shakespeare at his patriotic best in Richard II, the speech being made by John of Gaunt. On the roof of the station you may just be able to make out the number 70012, Britannia Class 'John of Gaunt'. On the chimney you may also be able to make out the number 87 013 which was again 'John O' Gaunt. The picture is of John O'Gaunt Station (GN/LNW Joint), 6 miles south of Melton Mowbray. Congratulations to Western Sunset, Dave F and Nick Holliday for taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. The leader board as it stands after 3 days is: 6pts - Dave47549 3pts - Western Sunset 2pts - jwealleans 2pts - swampy 2pts - Nick Holliday 2pts - DaveF I did get the LNWR & Shakespeare links, then I fell into a hole. Looking at one web page for John O'Gaunt station, where a lady employee remembers a single consignment of horses being over 50,000 pounds. Must of been decent horses for the period 1942-49. Also 8,000 gallons of milk a day, must of filled a few churns, OK they were tankers by then. So perhaps not many passengers, but good money, I think.

Andy Y Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 First of all an update to the leaderboard after day 4 7pts - Dave47549 5pts - jwealleans 4pts - DaveF 3pts - Western Sunset 2pts - swampy 2pts - Nick Holliday Day 4's puzzle was amother jigsaw showing a family tomb; that of the Peacock family showing the names of Joseph and Ralph, sons of Hannah and Richard Peacock. Richard Peacock became the locomotive superindent and Driver No.1 of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway. In 1853 Richard Peacock along with Charles Beyer founded Beyer-Peacock whose works were at Gorton, Manchester. The family tomb is in the churchyard of Brookfield Unitarian Church in Gorton. Every night as a kid I used to poke the fire with a poker made on the quiet by my grandfather in the aforementioned works, where it ended up I do not know but I can still feel it's familar weight. Sad to say I never met my grandfather but he fired on the Woodhead route, my father was a clerk at Godley Junction just before the war so you'll have to forgive my personal indulgences on this clue.

Pinkmouse Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Nope. I came from calculating a passive RIAA network for my new phono amp, looked at the question, solved the clue puzzle, and I'm no better off. I think I'll go do something easy, like create workable fusion power, or solve the Middle East problem... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness for that I can go to bed, I have cracked the jigsaw, it took three attempts! I have looked at that black van from all angles, I've studies a map of English railways using the same colours as the jigsaw, but cannot find anything resembling that.............I have no idea Goodnight all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well as far as I can tell I got the right answer but was too late with my reply. Oh well, I'm still glad I went out to railway club tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 28, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 28, 2010 Jigsaw was fun but I'm da***d if I can match it to anywhere on that map! And the vehicle clue seems to have an element of ruddy fish about it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 And the vehicle clue seems to have an element of ruddy fish about it as well. It's a very literal but cryptic clue. Hopefully those that found the answer will have seen the significance of that clue by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hm. looks like a Jowett Bradford van to me, not sure of the signifigance of it being backwards, but will wait for the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
