I'm only being silly because I'm struggling. Ohhhhhhhh...... is it that folly where the blokey released the multi-coloured doves? I think that's in Berkshire / Oxfordshire somewhere. *thinks* No 8 lane motorways in Berkshire and Oxfordshire. Hmmmm. I vote for mult-coloured-dove-folly.

It's the best-preserved building of this type in Britain. Fizzymouse said above "Perhaps it is a little bit of France that will be forever English" This is interesting, as France once had over 500 of them (but not necessarily looking like this) Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Icy's Quiz 8 Dec 2011 Posted Dec 10, 2011 by Fizzymouse- no place like home This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 19 That clears it up then. It's obviously a watchtower and all along the watchtower there runs a washing line - Tommy used the French ones to hang up his washing during the second world war. This watchtower is the Timex head office in Brentford and there is a whole floor full of little men making watches in time for Christmas while singing: Ticka, ticka, Timex Tra-la-la If this is wrong I'm afraid I have no idea what or where it is.<fingerscrossed> Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Icy's Quiz 8 Dec 2011 Posted Dec 10, 2011 by Icy North This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 20 You're not 100% wrong...
