Quiz - guess the location of this Post Office box .... (#2)

lesbootman · Post by **lesbootman** » 23 Jun 2022 16:23

The box you are looking for is not on the A666 (although it is not far away).

Given the roadworks in Bolton, what looks like the best route on paper is not always the best route in practice.

If puffin's flight from McD's took him as far as Asda, it would have meant he'd gone too far.

Yeah. Figured that out. No free kick from Dracos.

Mr Dracos knows about the box - it is marked on his map.

No wonder I couldn't find it. Yours is miles away. My McDonalds and Asda are here.

lesbootman · Post by **lesbootman** » 23 Jun 2022 19:29

Oh dear puffin.

I did tell you that the Asda I was referring to was built on the site of Bolton Wanderers FC's old ground - Burnden Park. I also mentioned Carr's pasties, so I'm not feeling any pangs of guilt that you have taken it upon yourself to trek up to the Astley Bridge branch of Asda.

Looks like an unsavoury part of town. Watcha doin' there ?

Just passin' thru (with the windows up and the car doors locked)

Actually it is not that unsavoury - it is an industrial area.

Tick and baton!

Ubobo.R.O. · Post by **Ubobo.R.O.** » 23 Jun 2022 20:23

Puffin flew off after nicking the baton but dropped it here.
Where is here ? Usual CPTS please.

PS. The hedge is across the road.

Have moved on to Workum in Friesland.

I wonder if it has a Twin town called Playum elsewhere in Nederland ? No doubt Danny can tell us (or write to the authorities to suggest it). Then you might need to try to find Restum to recuperate.

Very good hearing if you can. Head north. Previous location is much closer.

Alas, the only place in Netherlands with a P ending on -um is Pingjum. We have no places here that start with Pl.

For the box:

Noord Holland

Well Danny, you will have to use your influence on some of the Dutch politicians and get some towns to change their names. You may have some towns that aren't happy with their current names - try them first

Sargonnas · Post by **Sargonnas** » 24 Jun 2022 02:33

Oh believe me, I can think of a few.

Hongerige Wolf = Hungry Wolf
De Hel = The Hell
Roggel = Spit

And last but not least: Rectum

For the box

Zuid Holland

lesbootman · Post by **lesbootman** » 24 Jun 2022 02:37

It would be rather cruel on puffin using a box in Hongerige Wolf

Zuid Holland : nee
