Divert? Replanning? If only!

 

We are completely stuck in this pollution. Thanks to the Army helpfully moving the boat from the BLCM mooring (which as it isn't a junction, is not Covid safe) out on to the main line at Tipton Junction for us, we have got a boom between us and the tunnel, a boom between us and Tipton Green, and a boom between us and the rest of the Old Main Line.

 

I can see only one possible solution - we're heading for the pub!

Huh, typical boomers.  Any excuse to go to the pub.

You may want to book some time in the dock too because having your boat sitting in all that pollution for 24 hours could play havoc with the blacking

As Basil Brush so eloquently put it - Boom Boom

Baldrick perhaps said it even better - Boom, Boom, Boom

Anyone who has managed to find all 10 is welcome to send their answers in to be checked if they are at all unsure

Have done that Jan.

 

Me too.  I found 11 of the 10 but think only 9 are right!

I'll be interested if anyone has an answer, I spent a long time trying unsuccessfully before resorting to less direct ways.

I suspect you need to host it somewhere else and post a link

Help how do I upload a MP3 or Wav file?

 

You can't since the filetype changes.

 

Accepted file types: gif, jpeg, jpe, jpg, png, mp4, 3gp, mov, ogg, ogv, mpg, mpeg, flv, webm, wmv, avi, m4v

You could consider converting it to mp4.  mp3 is audio-only, but mp4 is technically a "multimedia storage format".  Free tools exist online - just search for "convert mp3 to mp4".

Yup. Us too. 

Where can I see the quiz and challenge for today? 

I have entertained myself writing an Excel spreadsheet to work out the answers to today's quiz. I enjoyed that, though double barreled port names were a bit of a pain.
