Depends what you call a HGV doesn't it! Truck, lorry (anything 7.5 ton or over) is acceptable.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

NOTE: I do mean lorry (and not a van).

What do you mean by an "Artillery Rocket"?

I'd be interested to know what you had in mind but I hope this is acceptable (http://goo.gl/maps/BD2DG).

Are these getting too difficult? Let me know as if questions are too tough it can kill this game.

Anyway I think there were countless examples for this one if you knew where to look. I focussed on advertisements and this was the first logo I found after around 5 minutes (http://goo.gl/9a7qi - bottom right).

Open floor again.

Okay, find me a SV shot where you can find a red phone box, a red post pox, and a grey communications box in the same picture.
