Bicycle Tag of bike

Bah

I was going to accompany a newbie cycling buddy out for a spin tonight and was hoping to take her tagging.

Oh well, I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did!

Well done @mespilus for overcoming the tech hurdles.

overcoming the tech hurdles.

Hmm, not certain 'cycling back home and using Chrome'
isn't just recognising the improbability of resolving an LG G4 on Android6/Firefox
playing nicely with the forum.

Once you are at Buck House the new tag is only 5 or so miles away.

And for future searches, this is Buckingham Palace. Nice one!

Yes, amazed that it hadn't been done before, apart from @LongAndWinding with the secret back door, some years ago.

As for this new tag, if someone can't act on the clues @mespilus has provided then I may begin to lose faith in this game.

Quite a few hidden clues that may not be apparent

Clue V1:

One there

Two in there

One in there too, if that helps

No, I read everything literally, never thinking that a clue might be hidden in an otherwise meaningless sentence.

Clue V1:

Nope.

Still no idea.

Utterly meaningless

Ah, now it all makes sense, off to get it tommorow if the snow clears.

Yeah, great clue, really pinpoints it.

Old, E Churchfield Rd, Acton. Birthplace of Adam Faith (of Love Hurts fame, and of course the hit 1971 TV series, Budgie).

He may have failed in his 2nd career as a financial advisor, but at least his critical faculties regarding TV quality remained sharp til the day he died. His last words were famously:

"Channel 5 is all shit, isn't it? Christ, the crap they put on there. It's a waste of space."

New: to someone who no doubt heard many folks' last words.

Clue: not ExCel

I mean, I thought it was probably around there because I know that's where people have been going for Wests, but I also thought it was very obscure clueage. Best to make it easy.

Easy clues.....

In a previous life, as an AA Relay driver, I recall taking Adam Faith and his broken vehicle home one night. My recollection is that he wasn't a particularly pleasant man.
In fact, on the contrary, he was pretty obnoxious.

This was before she went to Crimea

Old: corner of Harley st and Weymouth st. It was the site of Nightingales, Florence Nightingale's All Nude But Fully Clothed Revue which went out of business after only 3 performances.

New: is there room for a woman in transit? There used to be.

"29 May. A biker delivers some proofs from PFD, and as I’m signing for them, asks what’s my opinion of Cyril Connolly and why is it he’s less well thought of than, say, twenty years ago. Because he’s not long dead is the short answer and also, I suppose, because the literary scene has changed, with no one critic presiding in the way Connolly and (to a lesser extent) Raymond Mortimer did. [...]

I don’t quite spill all this out to the waiting courier, who is a graduate of UCL and shouldn’t have to be biking round London delivering letters this cold wet May afternoon."

I can hear his accent from here!

Must have been some low cloud the day the Google Maps car drove past

Excellent clues!

Old: lady in the van.

Immediate plunging. Heinous crime.
