    Grhhhh.

    I sometimes wait an extra hour or so, because I don't want to be the only player. But apparently not many other people interested in playing this game, which I find a pity.

    A couple of standard laterals and a Huff should get you to South Ken and from there you have a fifteen minute walk to The Royal Albert Hall?

    Due to tonight’s Lord Talbot variation applying it was a walk from Knightsbridge, but the destination is correct.




    Samantha was quite taken by Albert’s impressive organ, despite it having a piercing ring.



    Turning off the illuminated ‘1’ in tribute to 50 years of ISIHAC was a nice touch.

    It looked a bit like the place du Capitole. No googling.

    Oh and you were standing around the corner from Rymans Stationers

    I didn't spot the Rymans but a quick check and you are indeed correct.

    Having got soaked leaving the station this morning I thought I'd better pop in and buy something to keep the rain off.

    I assume this the walking cane/brolly shop on New Oxford St?

    If so, I am amazed it is still there too. A proper 'old school' style shop.

    1:20 last Saturday afternoon. it was very hot, around 35°C, so I guess most Madrilenos were indoors or away to the country. And it wasn't a holiday weekend so not too many tourists.

    Peter Parker has certainly packed on the pounds, he looked like he'd been poured into his spider suit. There's also Chewbacca in the background, next to the lamp post.

    I’ll step up then. Helsinki, Jätkäsaari, in front of verkkokauppa.com. So close to Länsiterminaali that I suspect you could have easily posted something from Tallinn as well.

    I knew you’d get it. Fresh off the ferry. My second trip to Helsinki. I dare say I’ll post something from Tallinn in the next day or two.

    That's brought back some happy memories of a trip with my good friend here, who has since shuffled off this mortal coil. We had a laugh.

    You got me, the street view pictures are from 2016 and pre-date the tower.

    Move your arm out of the way! If I could see the tile pattern at the platform edge, I could tell you.

    U9 has only whole tiles, whereas U8 has a pattern of alternating half and whole tiles.

    Probability would tell me you are much more likely to use U9 than U8. So that is my answer: Berlin Underground, station Osloer Strasse, platform line U9.

    A normal person would just be happy to get the station name. Perhaps you might like to reconsider on the line.
