That beach one is doing my head in. Where have you looked? I was on Black sea but gave up. The one above I went from Philippines to Indonesia then gave up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Thought it might be Korea, they have lots of smelly food and green number plates. Or an abandoned F1 circuit. Or somewhere where they grow and eat durian fruit. f**k knows what the Thamesmead connection is. Maybe the Marathon? Was thinking the weird building might be in Africa.

I thought it was a parliament, went through the whole of this brilliant thread I'd seen before: https://twitter.com/AFaulds/status/1178695820998320128 It's not. I thought it looked African, so I googled African modernist concrete building, and it popped up right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you need to work out the significance of the Thamesmead one on its own merits, then look at the original clue of thebebach one, then it should be a matter of minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place has a peculiar smell in the morning (not Kirkcaldy). 3 hours ago, Tight John McVeigh is a tit said: Posted this one for a similar reason as the beach one, if that helps as a clue Right, well, the only thing Thamesmead is famous for (other than being an isolated dump with no transport links) is being a location for Clockwork Orange. I'm assuming the connection is film locations and therefore the bit in bold is an Apocalypse Now reference, which google tells me was filmed in Baler in the Phillipines.

The American Civil War disrupted the world supply of cotton. Uzbekistan became a replacement for it. The diversion of water for the cotton industry reduced the Aral Sea by 90%. These fishing boats in Moynaq are now more than 100 miles from the sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
