Where was I?

[Jacks10]

Am completely stumped with trying to find the first saint - am looking at Anglesey Priory. Am I going in the right direction or have I got the wrong monastery in Cambridgeshire.

[Banffer]

Could it be St Alban?

[writesbad]

not Anglesey, but you are in the right county

[hallgreen2]

a

[writesbad]

it says about seven miles SSW of the station. Anglesey is more like twelve....

Jacks10 - here's a clue

The Saint's Day is in March

[Nevilleauk]

You are barking up the wrong tree not Anglesey but Cambridgeshire
Answers are
1 Shippe Hill Station
2 St Felix of Burgundy
Good Luck

Oh Nooooooo! Neville you are a Devil. That's removed the challenge.
Why did you give the answers? There are still three days to go to closing date. That is why we have given clues.
No one suggested the answer was in the Anglesey (Wales) area, they merely referred to Anglesey Prior which IS in CAMBRIDGESHIRE.
Please try to give clues in future.

Additionally Neville - your 'station' answer is incorrect.

[Jacks10]

Actually had already got the Saint before Neville kindly confirmed it to me having worked out Soham was closer than Anglesy. However I also do not agree with the station.

Thank you all whatever - am so grateful to have some input. It really was driving me nuts!

It's a tough enough Sunday Times "Where was I" this week.I do it for the mental exercise,and in odd weeks like this I go to Answer Bank when I am experasted.In relation to member Sir.Prize comments I appreciate the competitive nature of such quizzes,but this site is called The Answer Bank,not The Clue Bank,so in short the clue is in the name.

[Nevilleauk]

Sorry it is Shipea Hill and sorry if I offended by giving the answers but I thought that was the idea of this site ?

[Jacks10]

Neville - Thats why it is called THE ANSWER BANK!! You are totally correct. Must admit I love working it all out for myself but was extremely grateful for your help and after another hour!!! of consideration think you are also correct with the station! Oh well - it staves of the Alzheimers! Have a good evening all of you!

Hi Neville and Jacks10
There is an informal convention on AB not to just give the answers to Where Was I? It is not like a crossword, with many clues to be answered, where people might need help to get started with one or two clues.
Obviously you are not obliged to observe this convention.
There are two schools of thought: on the one hand some people think it is indulgent and vainglorious to show off with the answers. On the other hand, some admire the cleverness and perspicacity it takes to follow the trail to its destination.

Please, Neville and Jacks10, let me know what you think.
By the way, Neville, you have still misspelt the name of the station.
Kind regards
writesbad :-)

quiggers59 - you are perfectly correct. This is AnswerBank and a wonderful source for obscure solutions to quizzes and puzzles etc. However, you will note that my comment related to divulging elusive answers on the day the competition is launched. That is removing the challenge for others.
Good luck.

Interesting and challenging quiz, by the looks of it! Shan't enter myself, though as holiday wins aren't for me. :-)

Voulez-vous - the newspaper is not needed when entering Where Was I? competition.

That's interesting sir.prize! I always buy the ST, though, and would take a stab at that just for fun probably, but I have no real interest in winning a holiday! Call me boring! lol :-))
