  13. I still have a few to go :-(. Can anyone help with the coloured house on the right, the two men in suits passing something red and the naked baby/doll. Thanks in advance

    Reply

    • The two men are sharing a red cross, the doll has a thermometer in it’s mouth and has a high temperature and so is not well. If you need more than those hints let me know 🙂

  15. Stumped on 5, any help would be great.

    2. The crack at the side of the road (by the croc and pillow)
    3. The jar on the tightrope

  16. Hi, on 98. Got two more that are really annoying me.

    The round thing with a line through it next to the snail.
    The hill or road that Santa is hauling up.

    Any ideas?

    Reply

  17. The round thing is the grain served with curry, is a mouth, so two of them are ……
    The Santa one is the start of Santa… And he’s pulling or Pauling something along……

    Can you help with mine
    Fighting candlesticks?
    Gash down side of road?
    coloured/wallpapered house?
    Thanks

  18. OK, with help on here and from my good lady wife I have only one left that I don’t get.
    The goose being chased along the road.

    Please help before I go mad 🙂

    Reply

  20. Really appreciate the help given on some of these. Can anyone give me some clues for the lobster with a crown, what looks like a piece of paper by the river, and the curved road next to the green car? They’re completely doing my head in! Thanks also for explaining the wild goose chase and the ‘greater than’ symbol on the wall – I got the > by chance but couldn’t work out why it was!

    Reply

      • Cheers Kathryn, that helps! I think partly why I didn’t get the lobster one is that I’d been trying the full name of the station, and not the official answer, which is only half a station…

        Reply

  23. The sign on the wall means greater than or ‘more than’.

    What I cannot get is the guy with a bird’s head on the bridge. I have tried everything.

    Reply

    • Swooping knife = It’s cropping a FAIR
      Pile of E shapes = E is a direction; the shapes are ACTING ON each other
      Elvis in a boat = What station do you know which begins with the word “Elvis”?

      Reply

  28. Omg, only 7 left and i’m so tired. Please help me someone!
    1) white witch on a rifle
    2) lassie dog with log
    3) the archway next to tower gateway
    4) the black cab with a light
    5) the pig with a knife and fork
    6) the green can/tin
    7) the man (with one leg?) next to canning town.

    These are probably all really easy…..

    Reply

  29. Also just figured out that the can is all green.
    Archway isn’t working and I seem to be oblivious to the full pig clue

    Reply

    • If archway on right of tower gateway then it’s more of a bridge and the top silhouettes London landmarks.
      The Archway on the left of tower gateway is an Archway.

      The full pig – that’d be a piece of ham that’s full then. Sat on a wide street perhaps?

      Hope this helps.

  32. Anyone able to help me?
    1.the gold staff thing in the road
    2. the meat in the paddling pool
    3. the man on the board
    4. red jacket on the hanger
    5. beer on the windowsil
    7. the headstone
    8. the lady with the man and the house

    Reply

    • FINALLY got all of these!! Took me long enough (and definitely needed a bit of help on here – thanks everyone).

      Melanie:
      1) It’s an arrow, not a staff
      2) You know that it’s a pool (I didn’t get that bit for a loooooooong time), and it’s on a road. Think about synonyms for ‘road’. And it’s a particular type of meat (I also found that quite hard to identify). Put them together and what have you got?
      3) The ‘board’ is in water, so it’s a type of jetty. Who might wear a long white coat? Also you might not be able to see it, but he has something round his neck which is another clue to his identity.
      4) Again, think of synonyms for ‘jacket’, The pattern/style of it might help you work out where it’s from.
      5) It’s a brand of beer, and inside it there’s the thing you play badminton with – what’s that called?
      7) (you missed out 6) – the number one is no longer alive, it’s a gravestone.
      8) Change ‘and the’ for ‘or’.

      Hope these help!

        • Can someone help with these:

          1)the paddling pool (i read some of your suggestions but still didn’t get it at all)
          2)The big fish i tried everything getting my head in!
          3)the 3 sausage dogs
          please help would be really helpful!

          Reply

          • 1) The meat is liver, in a pool.
            2) Don’t know.
            3) The dogs are hound dogs. Each letter corresponds to a direction.

  33. Hi folks
    5 to go and I’m getting tired, need some sleep so if anyone can help I’d be very grateful!
    1) the arrow stuck in the pub wall
    2) the two palm trees
    3). The ton weight (have tried all the ton stations I think!)
    4) the gold arrow at the side of the road
    5) the windmill on the hill?

    Thanks people

    Reply

    • 1) the arrow stuck in the pub wall – compass reference plus something sounding like arrow
      2) the two palm trees – are on a what? and where is that situated?
      3). The ton weight (have tried all the ton stations I think!) – definitely ends in ton….easy clue….it’s a famous bear
      4) the gold arrow at the side of the road – same as number 1
      5) the windmill on the hill? – looks like some kind of pudding

    Reply

    • it’s ending is the same as the other keys (hint hint) and the beginning is shaped like a geographical location?

      Goose chase isn’t a station – just add ‘wild’ to the beginning and type it in 🙂

      I’m on 99 – please please help me find the last one – the road? path? on the left where the pig/santa is sitting?

      2) The footballer is BECkham, and he’s tooting a horn.
      3) That is an abbey, and a road leads into it.
      4) That’s an ox on the bridge.

      • Finally got them all! I’m dreaming of tube stations. Anyone know how I can get a list of ALL the answers? I should have written them all down cos I can’t remember what they all were, ( even tho i thought I would never forget )

        Reply

    • 1) Nothing really to do with a crustacean – the main point is that it’s got a crown and it’s angry!
      3) Important that the edge of the road is what’s being worn

      Reply

      • How can you tell that it’s angry?! Your version is tenuous at best.

        It’s all to do with it being a crustacean. And a king!

        Reply

    • 1. See what the dog is doing, and the dog is on the ‘side’
      2. Its not a circus but a funfair. There’s only 1 station (if i’m not wrong) with that name.
      3. A name for a yellow bird, and a similar word that sounds like woof.

      Hope that helps.

      2 pub sign : the sign is ‘>’ i.e. More Than (get rhyming)
      3 man on jetty : That’s not a jetty, its a ‘DOCK’. Search for station names with the same
      4 key on ledge: Read key as Quay, get searching for such names
      5 paper on floor by river : The paper is brown, what sound it makes when crumpled? What’s the shape of the paper?
