Saturday Independent Picture Quiz

[porilo]

Can anyone help with the first answer on Saturday's Independent picture quiz in the puzzle magazine please? I've done all the rest but am stuck on this one. There are pictures of a big letter M, HSBC bank, and a polo mint. I know what the connection is, although I'm not sure whether I should mention it here for fear of spoiling someone else's enjoyment, but can't find anything to fit the pictures, even though I've been up and down the line a few times.

Embankment. Have you got No.8 please?

[bunty70]

what was the description again?

[Argee2]

No.8 is a head of a male chicken(!), a face, a male singer, letter R, a face (Al Capone).

[Argee2]

Thanks! I have just worked it out - the chicken is not male it is a hen! :-)

[porilo]

Thanks very much. I'm kicking myself now. I was looking for something beginning with the letter "M" rather than the sound "EM". It has also helped me with the first one on today's picture puzzles which I've now managed to complete, so if anyone needs any answers or hints then please let me know.

Hi porilo Im really stuck on no 8 i know its something central and what is no 7 kings cross?

[JULIEWOOLIE]

think ive got it hendon?but kings cross i know the king gong connection but not happy!

[porilo]

Yes, I had King's Cross and Hendon Central, although the second one was largely guesswork. I don't know who the man with the microphone is, but once I got the Hendon bit and Al Capone and the end, I managed to work it out.

I think the guy is don johnson an actor who used to be in miami vice?still unsure about kings cross but cant think what else it could be!Good Luck!
