    Who said "I am the best".
    Clue; it's a he and he also said "If you didn't want to get wet you shouldn't have become a courier".
    Bonus clue; his catchphrase is "Back you come, up you come, up you come, up you come".

    14) How many roads are there in the City of London?
  13.  
    none, i guess. only streets, alleys, lanes...

    Apparently in the 60's or 70's Labour renamed something in the city as a road and refused to change the name, despite appeals from the city Ombudsmen. Is this true? what could it be? My sources (the interwebz) tell me it came from Islington. I'm guessing city road, but did this ever extend through the city?

    It'd have to be City rd.

    City Road is outside City of London. The bit of Goswell Road south of Old Street isn't though...

    yeah, doesn't the city begin at the junction with beech street? or even further south?

    This may sound slightly anal but I just went and had a look.The street sign for Goswell south of Old st has a crest of two griffins and a St George cross under which it reads,City of London.
    It appears there is a "road"in the City.

    I think you'll find further evidence of this in the City of London's internet web-pages. Make note that the border to City of London is not defined by the streets but by the buildings themselves. As seen in the following internet web pages, the most south western half of Goswell Road lies within the City of London's borough of Cripplegate.

    Can anyone name the road in central London that has got a building number 666?
    We all know Charing Cross,but can anyone name another 'cross' in the wc2 post code?
    Both questions are rather tricky and I'm happy to buy a pint to the first person that answers correctly.

    Is that 6 upper brook street. (6 each side and above the door). there is a replica cross, dating from 1863, situated outside Charing Cross Station. It was designed by A. S. Barry and is based on drawings of the original cross. Please tell me I'm wrong.
    • CommentAuthorselimski
    • CommentTimeJan 31st 2010 edited
     
    Yes, you are wrong.
    Its not upper brook. Its a building number 666,not a building with three sixes on it.
    The other wc2 cross is an actual address, should be in your map.

    Mike- its not crosse keyes either.
    JP- I'd say that mine 666 is more central than high numbers of harrow road, but its not quite central.

    Nice find westcoast but its not it. You are looking for an actual place (as in road,street,alley,mews etc but with 'cross' instead of street or road) not a building. It has got its own city of westminster street sign and it is listed in mine AZ map. Its not Charing Cross, Crosse Keyes or Golden Cross Hse.
    I'll give you the answer this evening but in the meantime-anyone? Not even you Bill?

    Still no joy. However, I came across this "The Scottish engineer John Logie Baird transmitted the first television picture from a street near the Covent Garden Piazza. The picture was of a head of a ventriloquist’s dummy named ‘Stooky Bill’." which I believe is complete marketing bullshit as this was in Frith street. Where Bar Italia is now. Check the blue plaque next time you pass by
