And of course you were Ken (but probably not in 1978)

Exactly! In the cellar in that house, on the 20th and 22nd of October 1978, the greatest pop single of all time was recorded. I love that house.

Well there you go Matt, very much in the spirit and you're 90% of the way there!

Well, yes, obcy, but not what I'm after. Close though.

Nope

Excellent sleuthing Hugh, spot on (my own photo location data was telling me porkies)

Ah no, no link to the Aussie genius as far as I know.

A fair punt, but sadly a wrong one Berwyn

Quite right too!

Ha!

Ah, I do, which is why it shines so, it knows it is loved

Closer still

It was indeed Clint, well done that man, you're halfway there! (Not the Soft Boys, excellent though they were)

Nope, pure Dartford me (as if anything in Dartford was ever pure...)

You are much closer than you think Ken.

Marvellous

Warmest so far, but still no cigar

In a 'Pin the tail on the donkey' fashion?

Ah, no, though there are plenty of those about.

That were only if you were trying to impress a date!

There is a pomegranate at the bottom of the bowl, but I am not allowed (by my own Dogme-style rules) to add or move anything. You just have to know it's there.

Yep, and a slightly stale cheese and onion roll wrapped in cellophane if you were going posh

Now wouldn't that be lovely

Ha! Chance'd be a fine thing, I was born and dragged up in Dartford me.

I will admit that this one is fairly niche, but important nonetheless

Aaahhh, very good, sharp, but no, that would probably have been somewhere a bit posher.

Too early to cave in yet
