[Monty]

Another week?

Goddamit Hutchinson!

[jmenges]

I'll be happy to show it to people face to face

Then bring it with you to next weekend's podcast.

Not close with anyone. I thank those of you that know for keeping mum.

I'm just teasing you others. You'll all know before the week is out, but I'm afraid you are going to have to wait some time to see it. I'll be happy to show it to people face to face, but I'm not putting it online where it can be used and abused. The reason? What happened to Neal and his work on the Annie wedding photo. I'm keeping a close rein on this one.

What was more fun was the premiere of John's film RIPPERLAND last night. I know he was scared about how Martin would react to his impersonation of him. I can tell you now, his table was in uproar and so was he. He loved it and felt flattered and was very amused and said that John did an extremely good impersonation of him.

Thanks for the feedback, Phil, that's quite a relief!

[Robert]

The landing at George Yard - I gather the one originally thought to be it, wasn't.

[John Bennett]

I can't bear the tension any more - it has to be....

Albert Cadosche sitting in the outside privy of No.27 Hanbury Street. Reading a newspaper! And smoking a pipe!

Time for a lie down.

[Monty]

Suzi,

Oh I cant do that, we must let Philip play. Besides, he would kill me.

Steve,

Long time no post. How are you? I do believe there is an extreme Leicester connection to this find.

It's a photo of a place that has never been seen photographically before.

PHILIP

Errm, don't tell me, let me guess....

John and Liz Stride serving a delicious skinny-latte in their coffee shop (with a cheese and bacon panini)!

[George Hutchinson]

Some of the delegates have already gone to make long drives home or get flights. Only Alan's talk left now (in a few minutes) and tonight we're going out for a final meal.

OK, another clue.

It's a photo of a place that has never been seen photographically before.

[Suzi]

"The photo itself was a slow realisation. I showed a shot of the photo on the page, unrestored. People were making guesses, and all the ones I heard were wrong. Then I showed a shot of the inside today, then the outside today, then a series of then and now shots. When they saw the famous one, the penny dropped. It wasn't a sudden revelation, it was a slow dawning on people more than anything. No amazing uproar, no spontaneous applause, but certainly a vibe of a room of people witnessing a special moment."

You pinched that technique from Rolf Harris.

"Can you see what it is yet?"
