From Ladbroke Grove to Notting Hill

ventaHello LJ. Are you looking for a way to waste time today?
You are?
Last night, Sally asked me whether I'd seen the Look for Longer posters on the Tube.
I had not.
Shame, she said, she couldn't solve the last few.
Eh?
Look, she said, it's online. It's a big picture[*] containing various images designed to represent Tube stations. The online version is clickable, and will tell you when you've solved them correctly.
Which explains why, at twenty to two this morning, Sally and I were sitting on the sofa with glasses of wine (and a cat, who was not helpful) shouting tube stations at each other.
You can find the puzzle here.
Warning: at least some of the ones I've found so far are a bit tenuous. I accept no responsibility. And if anyone can explain Hainault to me, that'd be lovely.
[*] Interestingly, as soon as I saw it, I said "I bet that's something to do with Virgin". It reminded me very much of a similar scene containing images representing bands which they produced a few years ago.

Date: 2012-10-17 04:06 pm (UTC)The flag is part of the building it's next to
The Manhattan skyline is just descriptive
The nuns is a terrible pun.
The bar-wench is holding ale
The fire is also a terrible pun
The lady in the wedding dress is getting married
and the glue is pretty darn' obscure if you ask me. Though the Wikipedia page on 'adhesives' may or may not give you a clue.
