Title: Out and about today 26th October 2013. Picture quiz.
Post by: JayMac on October 26, 2013, 20:17:34
A selection of images from a day's bashing around the west. Nothing too taxing.

There are a couple of additional ones thrown in from my archive to make up a nice round 10. I suspect you knowledgeable lot will get them all fairly quickly, but if not.....

Please. One guess each for the first 24 hours.

9.  Basingstoke.

Correct. I though that one might be a bit tougher than others. I'd airbrushed out the AXA building in the background. Should've done the same for the reflected 'AXA' logo in the 66's side cab window!

But of course. No quiz of mine passes by without a picture of my hometown, the jewel of Somerset.  :P ;D

That's not the point.  I think you only put that one in there to try to catch me out (yet again).  :o ::) ;D

Number 3 is almost certainly Gillingham (Dorset)

I also know which numbers 6, 8 and 10 are as well. But as 24 hours haven't passed I will leave them alone ;)

That wouldn't have helped much!  You'd have had to remove the canopy, the advertising  hoarding, the signal gantry, and probably that stupidly located telephone box that everyone walks into...

I think number 8 looks familiar, your shot does a good job of making it look like a flat roof though...
