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

Posted: **13:50 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

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?

Close with socks (but not green), or with green (but not socks) or geographically with Lincoln?

You are close with the item which one normaly wears between the feet and the shoes.
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.

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.

No, Derek. I have stunningly beautiful feet.

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.

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?)

Posted: **14:58 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

You have a Christmas stocking with the word London printed on it.

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.

Not my guess but maybe you should ask him if it's somewhere in Yorkshire.
How's the head?

You're almost there.
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?

Posted: **16:00 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Leeds United football socks?

Posted: **16:11 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Man United?

Posted: **16:19 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Are they socks produced from the wool of a Bluefaced Leicester sheep.

Posted: **16:21 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Stoke City?

Posted: **16:23 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Liverpool?

Posted: **16:35 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Nottingham?

Posted: **17:20 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

No football socks and no skiing.

It also has nothing to do with wool produced in the UK.

Posted: **19:14 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Southhampton?

Daniel, I can only repeat myself. You were 1mm close to the first part of the answer.
As for the second part: no to all the cities mentioned abvove.
So here is a clue: the city has two Football League clubs.

Posted: **19:16 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

DRT wrote:Southhampton?

Oops. Not my turn.

Posted: **19:17 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Sheffield

Posted: **19:19 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Football League? Or Premier League?

Posted: **19:20 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Neither Southhampton nor Sheffield.
Another clue: it also has two daily newspapers.

Posted: **19:22 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Bristol?

Posted: **19:26 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Right, it's Bristol.
And what about the first half of the question. The connection between my socks and Bristol? I think it's so easy that you don't see it.

Posted: **19:32 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

I went to university in Bristol and I can't remember it being a city of socks.

They have the Clifton Suspension bridge embroidered on them?

I repeated this clue several times. To shorten things: the word "London" is not printed on the sole of my socks, but...

Posted: **19:40 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

You are saying that Bristol is printed on the sole of your socks?

Posted: **19:42 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Yes, I'm wearing socks named "Bristol".

Never heard of Bristol socks before. I suppose that means I have to set a question now...Oh dear

Posted: **19:47 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Yes, you're the entertainer here now and I'm off the hook.

Posted: **20:11 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

As most question seem revolve around recent goings on then I shall follow that theme. I hope this works

Recently I was inspecting some .raw files of photos I had taken to check if any were worthy of being printed. Attached is a small section of one of the photos that (just) passed the test.

The question is "What is the subject matter of the photograph"

: question?; 1234.jpg (1 KiB) Viewed 9655 times

Apologies, this is my first time.

Posted: **20:46 Fri 20 Dec 2013**

Is the pic meant to pixellated or this an effect of the tiny file size?

Hope this doesnt count as a quiz question.

It is a small section of a photo that has been enlarged, as for the pixelated affect, It appears OK o the laptop I have just used to prepare it.

Again, apologies if it hasn't worked. I will forfeit my right to question if that is the case.

A dahlia, or part thereof?

Not a Dahlia. It is fauna rather than flora

A brief aside, as a follow-up to something earlier in this thread.

Is it a detail from 'The garden of earthly delights' by Hieronymus Bosch?

Red blood cells?
