Pickled Egg Quiz

The Daily Newspaper

Spoiler: show

The Guardian interesting to know how you got to the guardian, I suspect you are looking too deep, however to avoid dragging on the paper was The Mirror because all the original pictures are horizontally flipped and would therefore look correct in a mirror !

The Odd One Out

Spoiler: show

Tricky....Holyrood House is the Palace of Holyrood House so all are described as "Palaces"
So perhaps St James Palace, residence of Minor Royals not heads of state. Now the odd one out was Holyrood, not being a British Royal Family residence. I daresay you can make a case for any of them here so not too concerned

The Link with the war memorial picture

Spoiler: show

Is the link to the odd one out, or to all six "gates" in General? Still a blank on that. The link is using "gates".

Responses inside the spoilers, I hope that helps.

The Guardian just sprang from gates and guards at Gates.

This reckons its the Queens Official Residence in Edinburgh

I'lll ;ponder the link while I have my tea then its off to beddy-byes

I think I'm drawing a blank on a track link to peter's van too for the PE jukebox, if you can lob one up save my brainwork!

I came across that but I decided no royal actually lives there as their full time address so it didn't count!! I'll sort something out for Peter's post!! As regards the gates link the track that went with my picture should help!!

The war Memorial is adjacent to Tollgate road

Quite correct but my link was via Gates - Bill Gates - Windows - shot through a window.........I said it was tenuous G'Night off to my cave again!!!

[NewcastleFalcon]

Bill Gates...................not as famous as Eric Gates the footballer, or David Gates the Singer or a former manor house in Hall Green Birmingham called the Hollies with these gates......Its a wavelength thing!

Spookily my first link question was going to be "How are the pictures linked to Ipswich?" but I thought that was not even a half spanner so I went for the double spanner instead!

Possibly that the 84000 class operated out of Euston Station and The Sweeney was made by Euston Films?

Down want to make it too complicated but the link does lie connected to the location of the depot mentioned in the photograph.

That episode "Sweeney on the Run" is on Daily Motion.....just out of curiousity I wondered what Jan Harvey's role was....not very challenging a couple of very brief appearances as a bit of romantic interest for Jack. Waste of her talents.

I've run out of time now, discoveries so far - POTD at Longsight in Manchester. Leading criminal in The Sweeney S3 E13 On the Run played by George Sweeney (Neat!) who came from Welwyn Garden City (4 miles from me!). The episode is due to be screened at 12.10 on Thursday 25th June on ITV4 Not found the title of the music so theory is that may be the connection with Longsight!!

[NewcastleFalcon]

I think wikipedia is your friend Mick, quite a simple connection between Longsight and The Sweeney.
