Within the next few days there will be prize picture quiz posted here. This is a placeholder post while I finalise details. Those details include retrieving the pictures I accidentally deleted prior to uploading them.   Quiz will be open to all registered members of the forum. Prize this time round will be a ^25 (uncrossed of course!) Postal Order. It's been a while since I've posted such a quiz so newer members may like to take a look at previous completed quizzes for an idea of what to expect. http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=13213.0http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=12483.0 |

Using McLoughlin-speak, I wonder if it has been 'paused'? |

By next weekend, running through July. I'd like to apologise for the delay and any inconvenience caused. No compensation is due though.  I've just been very busy the past few weeks with very few days home in front of my PC. |

Fair play to my colleague 'bignosemac' - he does all of this voluntarily, in his 'spare time' (as do I). |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

You wouldn't see me in Blownaparts again: the last time I was there (a few days ago), they charged me ^4.30 for a pint of Butcombe Bitter - and it was of an 'average' quality, to be generous.  |

Prices just aren't competitive in there anymore, now that the BITE Card discount is just 10%.

So we all get our Zimmer frames and stumble round to the Knights Templar instead!  |

Perhaps fortunately, moderator bignosemac's latest quiz is not open to other members of the admin team on the Coffee Shop forum. After due consideration, much scratching of head and inspired guessing ... I've so far identified just two definite locations for two of those pictures. |
