Hmmmm....cryptic clues!

You realise this is keeping myself and colleagues from our work today and yesterday?!!

They're only cryptic if you can't work them out logically.

YOU are doing this at work? We've been doing this shite all night last night...

It does look like the States. Note the sign: Merry Christmas. The rest of the world is calling it Happy Christmas.

Another clue we think is that this is a hotel.

You're way off the mark Zina. Way off.

Jeez, I just read the entire thread...

Andy...give off or else!!!

Let me just find that emoticon with a baseball bat...let me just find it, Andy...

Andy am I anywhere near the mark with knowing where the listening bank's HQ was/is now?

Only Brits or other non-Americans can have a "listening bank" whatever the heck...

You have the listening bank I think, but I don't think you got it 'til it stopped being the listening bank. If that makes sense.

All I know that I am not talking to Andy until he says what it is...hours and hours wasted and it's still a frigging riddle...

Depends on the location and the HQ you're thinking of ... you could be dead on or you could be many many miles off.

Andy.......I am furtively searching google images for something that matches up to something in this picture.......is said listening bank neighbour VISIBLE in this picture?

In answer to your question, Yes it is!

However, apologies where they're due, my clue missed a couple of vital words to make it correctly cryptic. It should read

This buildings neighbour used to be next to the "Listening Bank"

so the listening bank isn't in the picture?

ps, my colleague is going insane trying to work this out, i think she wants to kill me/you!

I didn't say that ...

Aaaah in that case I AM looking for HQ in which case.....

I won't spoil it for everyone else though :-P :twisted:

I've been just advised that Dant796 figured it out too...so there, Andy...take THAT...

I can only take your word for that Zina ... where's his proof? :p

You know I am a spokesman...you want a PM?

Someone's been looking on Wikipedia ;-)

I dunno, Mr Mod Sir says it's in the USA then lets everyone tear their hair out trying to find the place, without ever mentioning it wasn't even in the same continent.

I guess he's the "Mod That Likes To Say as little as possible" ;-)

Dave

I have now MORE proof but Dant796 is already right according to PM...so...whatever...will send MORE proof to Mr. K.

At the time of posting we did think it was in the USA, but it wasn't, isn't and is unlikely to ever be located there, even if it is so "local". ;)

Here's another pic:

All of these photos seem to be quite old. Wonder why ...

Dave

Probably because it's still as local, but bigger than it used to be. Albeit with less ears ;)
