Quiz Time!

[Hugo]

Best out of three then Mike.     

[Hugo]

OK Mike where is Vining Street?

[DaveR]

I know this one, but my lips are sealed! ;-)

[Hugo]

Thanks Dave,  I bet Mike's  looking through the street indexes and Yorkie's Googling like mad!       D)

Just for fun and not to spoil Mike's fun. I've tried to find the answer but the nearest Vining St.  I can find is some 40 miles away!  I'm now eager to hear what the answer is.
I did find one Irving Road, which was between Venue Cymru and the Yacht Club but that was the closest I got!   

[Michael]

Sorry Hugo but street indexes No. If I go into a quiz anywhere, and thats not very often, I answer from inside my memory. And definitely not google.
  Everybody is different, but I just don't see the point in just searching for an answer.
  I did too much of that in my old job in a Bank.         Mike

I've said it b4 and I'll say it again - if you don't know the answer there can be a lot of knowledge gained and a lot of fun searching, either on't Internet or with books etc.    This time it didn't help but I had a great time exploring the area for the answer.   

[Hugo]

Don't say that I've got you two stumped     
Yorkie, it's less than 5 miles away in any direction and Mike you must have driven past many times but mustn't have seen the sign.


By the way I checked the street indexes and Google before posting it!

                    Hugo, now you have said that the Vining Street we are looking for is within 5 miles of here this info is entirely irrelevant but quite interesting. While I was looking on Google maps for clues I came across a Vining St. in Liverpool 8 (which is 55.3 miles from here!).  But then I noticed  that at the end of that street there is a block of streets with names that you would not expect to see there. Apparently the houses in them were built by Welsh folk in the 1880's and the streets are called Voelas St, Rhiwlas St, Powys St, Kinmel St, Pengwern St, Treborth St, Dovey St, Teilo St, Elwy St, and lastly Madryn St, (where Ringo Starr was born and lived till he was 4 years old). Having said all that I have no idea where the local Vining Street is!

It's difficult Gwynant and although I've been past it many times it was only recently that I noticed it.
It's in the 3 Towns triangle but not in the 3 Towns and is on a minor road within half a mile of top of the bridge.     
There's a few clues there and you must have gone past Vining Street a number of times.

Yorkie,  I'm sorry but it is on Google because I looked at the sign today.  It's only easy if you know it!

Yorkie, I was hoping to make it easier for you by translating the clue into English but perhaps I should have stuck with its more familiar Welsh name. Best get out your Welsh - English dictionary.

Actually, Hugo, you have done me proud, you have successfully translated the clue into Double Dutch!  I haven't a clue where it is and have actually given up trying to find it!

It's bilingual now, does that help?    and Vining Street is visible on Google Street view.   

[DaveR]

They seem to be struggling a bit with this one, Hugo?    :twoface:
