I've already read the previous discussions, but thank you for reminding me by providing those links. As it's a different question each week should there be a separate discussion for each question or just one topic covering the same quiz which changes each week?

[Captain2]

Are you looking therefore to start a discussion on this week's puzzle Tom, or just wanting the answer?

[Tilly2]

There is usually a new post each week. I know that because I always have to ask for the link to the puzzle.

[Flonska]

Judging by previous contributions, it appears that if a "thread" is started, it tends to relate to that week's puzzle. Sometimes, no post appears.

[tomcoady]

@Captain2 I'm obviously interested in the answer, but please don't hesitate to correct me if you think I've come to the wrong place.

[Captain2]

I don't think you'll be given the answer, but some may want to guide you along the way. (I don't do the puzzle by the way).

[Tilly2]

Where have you got to so far, Tom?

[Flonska]

This post appeared quite some time ago. It discussed the general principle of the nature and format of the puzzle along with thoughts on providing the answers by some of those who regularly enter the competition. I hope you find it helpful:-

Thanks for that last link, Flonska. That was interesting. I've not seen that before.

Hampton Pool was opened in 1922

Britannia Monument / The Nelson's Monument is a commemorative column or tower built in memorial to Admiral Horatio Nelson, situated on the Denes, Great Yarmouth in the county of Norfolk, England was raised in the period 1817-1819.

The author of Black Beauty was born in the same place.
Caister-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth is 3m North.
Caister Castle is a 15th-century moated castle situated in the parish of West Caister, some 5 km (3.1 mi) north and was built between 1432 and 1446 by Sir John Fastolf, who (along with Sir John Oldcastle) was an inspiration for William Shakespeare's Falstaff.

Well that's given the game away!

[tomcoady]

@tilly2 really? If you can find the answer from my answer, all power to your elbow. If you think that is the correct answer, all the more power!

[Etch]

@tomcoady well, I can see the two answers (plural) for the competition in your answer. How powerful does that make me?

[goodgoalie]

tomcoady, you seem to have joined Answerbank specifically to ask for the answer to this week's Where Was I? Then, having been told through the links to many posts about this puzzle that we don't give away the answers, you proceed to do just that. Many of us have been enjoying this puzzle for years, and the discussions about each week's offering add to the enjoyment - please do not spoil things for the rest of us by posting the answers on here.
Obviously, you didn't need help anyway. There are other places on the internet that provide the answers, if that is all you want.

As it was painfully easy, even if you didn't live in the county, I fail to see the reason for giving the solution, other than to try to try and demonstrate one's 'superiority'. I really don't know why people bother doing puzzles if they're not going to make an effort. If you do Word Brain there's a site with all the answers, what's the point?

[tomcoady]

I didnt provide the answer, it was contained in the facts I presented just as in the original puzzle. If you think the specific answers are contained in those facts, AND if you believe these are correct, then yes, I'm sorry if it has ruined the enjoyment of others who come here in the hope that they *won't* find the answer to any questions. In fact you should make it easier for idiots like me to understand by renaming this forum the NOTanswerbank, then everyone will understand that this isn't the right place to find actual answers.

If you think the answers are available on other sites you should provide links to these as I looked for them and couldn't find anything of the sort.

In the meantime I will sit back and savour the feeling of superiority having allegedly found the right answers!

[Tilly2]

Just returned to this having been out all day. Tom, I already had the answers and have submitted them online.

...and using my superhuman powers can see that you have included both answers in your your post at 09.57.

I really do not understand why you have done that,

[tomcoady]

@tilly2 I don't know if my answers are correct! It's just a bunch of related facts. If you don't want this information why are you looking at this page?

[Tilly2]

If you don't want this information why are you looking at this page?

I already know the answers. I don't need that information.
