Photo Quiz 5.03 (now finished)

Post by jamesthegill »

After the dismal response to last week's round, I've decided to make this one a bit easier. Clue: it's on the DLR. Closing date is next Sunday, December 7th, at 8pm.

Oh for flip's sake!

I know where this is - the buildings being built in the background on the right - I used to live in one of those! This is the station immediately after the one I would have got off at every day. I hope.

Am I going to look stupid if I get it wrong now?

Why should you? If it's the one after your station, then you wouldn't normally have visited it. For example, the last station I ever visited was West Ruislip, which isn't two miles from where I live...

Garion is right; there is indeed at least one very small clue in the picture. I'll say what it is when the answer comes out.

John's sharp eyes spotted that my photoshopping skills covered up two word on the sign, with the bottom word smaller than the top.

And there was a small bit of the name on the other sign in the distance....which, in my opinion, looked like an E (It looked square-ish) :)

That is not a clue.
