Norbiton?Things have been flowing well today so here's another easy one.
Batman may be missing here but not Robin.
Yes indeed. Over to you.Norbiton?
In the constellation Andromeda (she who was the daughter of Cassiopeia and the wife of Perseus), it is widEly believed that the centre of the universe can be found in her most famous galaxy which is numbered M31 in French astronomer Charles Messier's “Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles” (Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters) published in 1774.In the constellation Andromeda (she who was the daughter of Cassiopeia and the wife of Perseus), it is widely believed that the centre of the universe can be found in her most famous galaxy which is numbered M31 in French astronomer Charles Messier's “Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles” (Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters) published in 1774.
Well spotted - but not what I actually had in mind unfortunately! But yes, this station has a shortish name. The astronomical ramblings are relevant.In the constellation Andromeda (she who was the daughter of Cassiopeia and the wife of Perseus), it is widEly believed that the centre of the universe can be found in her most famous galaxy which is numbered M31 in French astronomer Charles Messier's “Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles” (Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters) published in 1774.
I'd go with Iver (which is in the centre of Universe).In the constellation Andromeda (she who was the daughter of Cassiopeia and the wife of Perseus), it is widely believed that the centre of the universe can be found in her most famous galaxy which is numbered M31 in French astronomer Charles Messier's “Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles” (Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters) published in 1774.
I'll give you 9/10 for that - but how does Andromeda fit in? You are very close!!I'd go with Iver (which is in the centre of Universe).
Then I'll try Drem (being 4 of the 5 central letters of Andromeda).I'll give you 9/10 for that - but how does Andromeda fit in? You are very close!!
Another 9/10 but a bit off track now. Go back to your previous answer and concentrate on Andromeda's gender.Then I'll try Drem (being 4 of the 5 central letters of Andromeda).
You still haven't quite solved it but with four outstanding answers, I'm going to announce you as the winner - before anyone else steals your thunder!I can then try:
Frome (F for female and rome from central-ish letters of Andromeda),
and also:
Esher (Es from from M31 on Messier's name (from the M take 3, "Mes" and drop 1 "es)) and "her" as in the female part.
Fulwell?@Caboose Class, maybe along the right track (pun intended), but where is the "is almost right"?
EDIT: BTW, it is quite far removed from Twickenham...
Fullwell appears to be an eastern suburb of a major city (rather than western).Fulwell?
Is it?Fullwell appears to be an eastern suburb of a major city (rather than western).
Fulwell is a neighbourhood of outer South West London in the historic County of Middlesex and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
My apologies for misplacing Fulwell , however, it still isn't the expected answer...
Horwich Parkway?@Caboose Class , sorry, not Eccles Road.
Further hint:
The station is nowhere near the suburb. The suburb's name forms part of the station's name.
P.S. The station is towards the west of the suburb.
Wythenshawe Park?Oh well,
I'll reveal the answer tomorrow somewhere after midday. If no one gets it before then, it'll be "open floor".
P.S. Final hint, how many different ways can one say it's "almost all right" without getting it right (rather indirect hint here).
