Title: Semi-cryptic Picture Sequence Quiz (September 2013) *Complete* Post by: JayMac on September 22, 2013, 14:20:06 Regulars will remember the sequences I posted in a picture quiz earlier this year, along with more normal, 'guess the station' pictures. This time it's 20 semi-cryptic sequences to guess. All are stations on the national network in Great Britain.
Please. Just one guess each for the first 24 hours. If you are informed of an incorrect guess then you can have another go. How quick can the forum's membership get all 20? 1. Shippea Hill, answered correctly by Alan Pettitt (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/Cryptics%20September%202013/16_zpsb947b62f.jpg) 2.

Either you are a very erudite lot or Bignosemac didn't make it hard enough. i would have got a few. Title: Re: Semi-cryptic Picture Sequence Quiz (September 2013) *Complete* Post by: Alan Pettitt on September 23, 2013, 13:58:36 Just in case anybody was wondering what kind of numskull you have on the forum now who would put Strawberry Hill for No. 1, I was doing it on my phone and thought that it COULD have been straw that was breaking the camel's back and it COULD have been some kind of berry that was the round green item. Thank you very much for giving me a second attempt once I got home and could take a closer look!

Title: Re: Semi-cryptic Picture Sequence Quiz (September 2013) *Complete* Post by: Alan Pettitt on September 23, 2013, 16:39:35 I must admit that I loved the Thorpe Culvert one, my nearest station when I lived in Firsby, and some bright spark had the (supposedly good) idea of closing Firsby Station.
