    Can't believe I missed the Fawlty Towers question. Loved that show, should have paid more attention to where it was set!

    Really should have gotten The Nag's Head question right :(

    That was the one guess that went the right way :D

    I mean I could see Gatwick being called Gatwick London Airport.

    It's not.... But I can see thr logic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,427 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    That was the name in the 2008 reboot, tbf

    There was a reboot?

    Glad I didn't see that and ruin part of my childhood.

    Didn't misread just thought there has to be something leading up to the arch so why not.

    Gatwick

    In my defence:

    1. The real answer seemed way too obvious to be correct, and
    2. "Gatwick London Airport" -> GLA sounds perfectly plausible

    Admittedly I probably should've known what Gatwick's code was having flown there at least twice. It's a shíte airport anyway. :mad:

    Hope you didn't have to include international.

    Hope the spelling R.E.D for green is accepted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,516 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    FFS, I was going to say green but changed it to red :mad:
