Relaunched: Guess the station from the pictures!

[clagmonster]

I still don't know who they are. There isn't a station called 'person', 'human' or similar, so there is presumably some connection between them. Presumably they are famous, so have appeared in the same television program or film or some such. I'm going to be random and say Aspley Guise.

 

[Wyvern]

Their fictional personae are related to each other.

 

[clagmonster]

So it is going to be a fictional surname then, so likely a one word answer. Tring?

 

[Wyvern]

Not Tring

Sorry

 

[Ivo]

Where else but Battersby?

The first is Leanne, and the second is Les (from Coronation Street). Even a non-viewer should recognise at least Les! And the tram period through to roughly Easter last year aside, I have never intentionally watched it.

 

[Eagle]

Even a non-viewer should recognise at least Les!

I dispute that.

 

[madannie77]

And so do I: as a non television watcher (I haven't owned a TV for 17 years) and a non reader of tabloid newspapers I can honestly say I have no idea who the people pictured recently are.

 

[Wyvern]

Battersby is the right answer

 

[Ivo]

Even a non-viewer should recognise at least Les

I dispute that.

OK; whatever. Mother's influence obviously :roll:

Anyhow, here is the next one. Anyone who says "Scarborough" because the town pictured is Scarborough will be tortured - the answer is NOT Scarborough.

 

[Anon Mouse]

who is the dude?

 

[Ivo]

If I say that his won't last two minutes! If not for me we'd still be waiting on Wyvern to provide an identical answer, so someone can do the same on my turn!

HINT: This person is a major personality within a certain sport, but is not a current player.

 

[Eagle]

What's with "the" and "of"? No station includes both those words.

 

[Ivo]

Those two words are supposed to be indicators. Look at the pictures, work out what they are, and then "read" the result as a sentence. This will lead you to the answer. In other words, the station's name is the same as the name of THE _______ _______ OF _______ _______.

 

[Eagle]

The home town of <person who looks annoyingly familiar>...

 

[andrew bell]

I'm guessing Tring

 

[Ivo]

I'm guessing Tring

Tring is correct. It is:

The HOME TOWN of GRAHAM POLL [a former football referee who gained infamy for giving Josip Simunic of Croatia three yellow cards in one match].

 

[andrew bell]

I thought it was Graham Poll and when you gave how to work it out I knew it was Tring

Taken...

Edited version to make it a bit easyer...

 

[Schnellzug]

Gunton? (if the motorbike is a Norton.)

 

[Nym]

Not gunton, remember, say what you see now, say what you see. (And that I'm usually delibrately anoying with these things...)

 

[Schnellzug]

Assault Rifle Airport?

 

[Nym]

Think more spesifically, what is that rifle, and where is that runway...

 

[madannie77]

From the first version of your question I thought it was Scarborough, but being a dozy fool today I didn't post :roll:

I am assuming the airfield is Brough, and the answer is Scarborough.

 

[Nym]

Scarbrough is correct...

Weapon is a SCAR, and airfeild is BAE Brough.

 

[madannie77]

Something a little easier, I think. This dozy fool can't think of anything more challenging tonight: got too much on my mind.

 

[Schnellzug]

Whyteleafe?!

 

[madannie77]

It is Whyteleafe, of course.

 

[Schnellzug]

In the words of mrs. T, Rejoice at that news.

OF for now, although I am thinking of one or two crytpic ones.

[Peter Mugridge]

Easy!
