Yes (13/40)
  • We're doing well. How many more questions needed before the square metre is identified, I wonder?

Are you within the City "ring road"?

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

May need some clarification - I'm not sure there's an 'official' ring road in Winchester - can you name the streets you're calling the 'ring road'?

The roads in which the buses operate in and out of the bus station as a "ring road" namely City Road, North Walls, Eastgate Street, Broadway, St, George's Street, High Street and Station Road

Can I clarify- south of all of the ring road, or any part of it?

We've already established that RobbieM is not within the ring road, so to be south of the ring road he must be south of the whole thing.

Yes (17/40). South of all of it! :) (Tangy's Ring Road does zig-zag a little on the south side, so I thought I'd best be clear about this.)

I was more thinking, what if he were to the east of it- outside it but with some of it being north and some south.

There's only a tiny little strip of land between the eastern side of the ring road and the River Itchen, so I was discounting that. Anyway we now know he's to the south.

Next question: are you to the south of the route formed by St James' Lane, Canon Street, College Street and College Walk?
