Re Question 9. My memory tells me that the Bridge of Sighs featured regularly on the (Insp) Morse programmes and that was based in Oxford so maybe there are two.

[jagwheels]

LarryandSue first may I say another great quiz & who knows MM & myself may come up with a cunning plan to get all peeps on here to contribute at least one of their own. A bit like your'e next to sing a song

No we would not embarress anyone & suspect some may now be avoiding eye contact Something perhaps for the future

Back to panoscouses Q9 query. This is Bridge of sighs in Oxford

[LarryandSue]

Thanks for the comments and the picture Norv, but I think the Cambridge Bridge of Sighs is prettier.

5. Cowboy, Camel

[LarryandSue]

5. Cowboy, Camel

Well done on Cowboy, but it was "Follow that Camel".

Still one carry on film to go.

[panoscouse]

Far more architectural elegance in the Oxford version of Bridge of Sighs. The Cambridge one is rather bland.

5. Carry on Cruising

[LarryandSue]

Far more architectural elegance in the Oxford version of Bridge of Sighs. The Cambridge one is rather bland.

But at least it begins with C

Well done on Cruising.

That's the lot.
