You get a pair of tweed Christmas socks from the Isle of Harris.

You start wearing a Tweed jacket, which reminds you of Berwick-on-Tweed?

Norwich is the principle city of Norfolk, the turkey capital of the UK. Are your feet shaped like a turkey's?

You are close with the item which one normaly wears between the feet and the shoes.JWEW wrote:Close with socks (but not green), or with green (but not socks) or geographically with Lincoln?AW77 wrote:I do not have any green socks.JWEW wrote:Your best socks are Lincoln green?
But you are getting close...
Now, what is the connection to an English city, if it's neither the colour nor the place where it is produced nor the design which is traditionally associated with a certain city.

Phil, I don't wear Tweed jackets on my feet. When I met you in Leverkusen, I saw that neither do you.PhilW wrote:You start wearing a Tweed jacket, which reminds you of Berwick-on-Tweed?

When I already have anything that I could possibly want or wish for (like world peace or a cure against cancer), then, and only then, would Iput a pair of tweed Christmas socks from the Isle of Harris on my otherwise empty wish list for christmas.djewesbury wrote:You get a pair of tweed Christmas socks from the Isle of Harris.

Socks. Stockings. Christmas stockings. I'm searching for a connection here. Are the socks knitted in Manchester? Is Manchester known as Sock City in Germany?
EDIT: sorry you already said it's not the place where they're produced. I'm at a loss.

Re: One quiz at a time
Perhaps he starts wearing thicker socks, made from wool, reminding him of Woolwich? (though I don't think that's a city, so perhaps somewhere else that wool comes from?)

Re: One quiz at a time
Daniel, you are right about the socks. Now what is the connection between the socks and the English city? It's a rather arbitrary connection I (and the producer) have to concede.djewesbury wrote:Socks. Stockings. Christmas stockings. I'm searching for a connection here.

Not my guess but maybe you should ask him if it's somewhere in Yorkshire.PhilW wrote:Perhaps he starts wearing thicker socks, made from wool, reminding him of Woolwich? (though I don't think that's a city, so perhaps somewhere else that wool comes from?)
How's the head?

You're almost there.djewesbury wrote:You have a Christmas stocking with the word London printed on it.
Now you should make a general statement about the connection between the city and the socks. (And by the way, the city is not London and although we're close the christmas, the socks do not have to do anything with this religious festival. I do wear socks all year long )

Do you wear football socks whilst participating in some sort of winter sport? Skiing?
