    Amazing, K. Did you know the location? The only vaguely identifying thing I could make out was Waitrose, but I'll be damned if I could've gotten The Podium (above the Waitrose sign) no matter how much I squinted at the screen :eek:

    Never knew the location, it was the Waitrose sign that helped. I put "Waitrose, The (left a space) town centre" in the search and got lucky :)

    Guess not. Hope this one will last bit longer.

    North America, BRB?

    </Waits for K.F. to type "Electrical Substation" into the google machine and stumble upon it :D:D:D>

    All joking aside, this one might go the distance. (Certainly after last night/this morning's quick-fire round.)

    Ah, don't be prostituting yourself, J. <slides a ten-spot over the intertubes: shaggin' Cork. again/>

    Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letter 'A': Alabama - Nope; Arizona - Landlocked; Arkansas - Landlocked.

    Juneau, Alaska?

    It's late. I'm tired. I'm watching too much "The Chase," delighted with myself that I knew Juneau is the state capital of Alaska.

    It's Anchorage, no? Across from Point MacKensie?

    72 hours, so Blue's Clue: it's in a (amongst others) German-speaking, somewhat discreet country.

    Not Geneva, BRB.

    Blue's Clue #2: This is a toughie, on reflection. I once did contract work here for a large multinational insurance company which now bears this city's name.

    (Apart from a feckin' huge railway station, I can't think of anything else to recommend it, to be honest.)

    So, so close, BRB. It's within the canton of Zürich alright. Here are the railway lines heading into the station :eek:

    Nope, not the Wasserkirche. (Canton of Zürich, not necessarily the city of Zürich :) Mea culpa, I should have been clearer.)

    (Blue's Clue #3: The city you're looking for gave its name to a Credit Suisse subsiduary that AXA bought circa 2006/7. The church contains the names of the apostles, Peter and Paul :))
