Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

North Nibley is a cracking name for a settlement, but I was thinking:

Find me at least 4 London Underground station roundels in the same shot.

Well, seeing as you neither posted a sign with a rock from the Mohs scale, nor a new category, I didn't consider your turn valid. Is this wrong? It was my interpretation that Krollo removed the octagonal criteria, rather than the Mohs scale criteria. Come up with a new category, edit it into your original post, and then Krollo can decide. He may say neither are valid.

It's all krollo's fault for not making any sense in the first place.

What do you want me to find now? Four bloody tube roundels ... *sigh* I'll just go off and find them ... whatever ... :roll:

Do they have to be LU roundels, or can we have any of the London Transport roundels? DLR, Overground etc.

OK, forget that question. The following picture shows FIVE roundels!

OK, the next item on the list is a gull on the top of a lamp post! It has to be a gull, and as a birdwatcher I will not be accepting any other bird!

That looks suspiciously NOT like a gull to me ... more pigeon-like.

No pigeons in that town, the 1,258,987 sea gulls ate them all.

Far too big to be a pigeon, definitely a gull.

Hmmm, I'll let you off due to lack of evidence (i.e. you can't see the bloody thing properly!)

I was thinking about platform roundels, but this is very nice too. Took me a while to spot the roundel in the background!

If you were THINKING platform roundels, then you should have SPECIFIED platform roundels.

Because I didn't specify, this answer was definitely valid. I'll ask for platform roundels later! :P
