Picture 001. Yes, we all know where this is, but <i><b>what is wrong with it?</b></i> (If you know the answer, please let some people have a few guesses before you tell us.) *Evil laugh.*

Picture 002: Where is this and what does it have to do with an artichoke, bag, barrister, bishop, cauliflower, crutch, she-dragon, wolf's paw, pigeon's wing or rhinoceros?
Congratulations Andy. Very impressed with the scope of your Friday night after-dinner chat.
No 3 coming up later

Where <i>exactly</i> is this architectural detail, and more importantly, <i><b>what was this building's function back in 1911?</b></i>
It was the public call office in 1911 of the National Telephone Company, and it's at 39a SG Road. The building is dated 1896. It's the empty shop on the right as you go down, between Furniture2Go and the chemist. You're right about the building having the wrong date. That was going to be another question.
Arkady it sounds like you have a copy of the same information as I have. I'll reveal my sources later on.
Misscara, the leafy design of Picture 0002 is at 48 SG Road, on the way down on the left - WigWorld. Andy, put your hand down, you'll get your chance later, or if you really want to go to the toilet that much, just go.
Anyway - is Liam the future for Britain?

We all know this is a jumbo portion, but which portion, and where? And who was the original designer? Was it (a) Benny (b) Billy (c) Barry (d) Willy or (e) Wonka?
No idea who designed it, but I'll plump for Willy.
I will choose (c) please
As for the designer I was just showing off because a few months ago I met the person who dreamed it up, though he doesn't live in that house any more and has left Stroud Green altogether. His name is Barry.
The current householder is very serious about his elephant duties and he was out giving it a trim yesterday. Is this the only SG property that comes with electric hedge trimmer as mandatory?
Next one will be much more interesting, stand by.
