SORRY

Most of Colorado Blvd in Pasadena has a blue line on each side of the street indicating the do-not-cross point for viewing the Rose Parade. It's even roughly the same distance from the curb as the current pic. There's also a pink line down the center of the street that the float drivers use to steer, since they usually can't see out the front windows.

Ok perhaps I made this one a bit too hard

great, only 600 Tesco petrol stations in the UK

I think I see Alan Partridge there.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Friday, 2 April 2021 11:55 (three years ago) link

Yellow, white and blue lines?

i'm just going to guess west hampfordshire

Is that a Travel Tavern next to it?

I'm confused...are these last two images the same place?

cherry blossom, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:21 (three years ago) link

Yep. I liked the first pic because of the misdirection but figured we'd have been here for months if I didn't post another

or something, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:27 (three years ago) link

I thought the pavement might have been a giveaway in that first pic but maybe that sort of pavement is more common than I realised

or something, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:28 (three years ago) link

I think this is one of the petrol stations thats next to one of the big supermarkets, maybe

Feeling possibly somewhere in Wales

cherry blossom, Friday, 2 April 2021 15:07 (three years ago) link

It looks just like the Tesco petrol station in Milton, probably looks just like a hundred others too.

The roofs of the houses look quite distinctive - like a nod to local vernacular architecture, but I can’t think of where.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link

I’m going to say Hereford.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:10 (three years ago) link

The petrol station in Tesco's Hereford faces the store in that aspect - the kiosk backs on to the roundabout.

Also, for future reference, if there's a dual carriageway in the picture it's not Hereford.

Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:17 (three years ago) link

Not Hereford

Nottingham

Sadly no

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:53 (three years ago) link

the houses look like they might be big enough to be flats, which makes me think it's a biggish city.

Birmingham?

calzino, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:05 (three years ago) link

I think its a Tesco Extra. They seem to have slightly different designs from the other ones though I don't know what significance is

cherry blossom, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:13 (three years ago) link

Not Birmingham

Glasgow?

Madchen, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:44 (three years ago) link

I don't think this is the UK

cherry blossom, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:44 (three years ago) link

yeah there's something fishy about those houses.

old guy seems to be walking to the right hand side though, which suggest left hand drive.

dublin?

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Friday, 2 April 2021 18:51 (three years ago) link

Thought the houses might be student accommodation

nashwan, Friday, 2 April 2021 18:59 (three years ago) link

There are also Tescos in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Friday, 2 April 2021 19:00 (three years ago) link

Not Glasgow or
Dublin

Aren't those uk national lottery signs, at the end of the blue line?

Diggin Holes (Ste), Friday, 2 April 2021 19:15 (three years ago) link

Looks like it.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Friday, 2 April 2021 19:20 (three years ago) link

Torquay?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:21 (three years ago) link

It does look like the seaside. I feel like I've been there!

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:34 (three years ago) link

I had that feeling as well! I walked that part of the coast a couple of years back and swear I walked up that street. There's probably a name for that. (Senility? Hiraeth?)

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:52 (three years ago) link

getting more Plymouth vibes than Torquay if it is a coastal city, even though I've only ever seen it from a train! I checked a few Plymouth Tesco petrol stations and couldn't find a match for the one above.

calzino, Saturday, 3 April 2021 10:51 (three years ago) link

Neither of those

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 3 April 2021 11:42 (three years ago) link

Looks a lot like the Mumbles but not finding anything similar on street view

(the one with 3 L's) (Willl), Saturday, 3 April 2021 12:52 (three years ago) link

those street lights make me think of somewhere posh, heritage-y, like richmond

koogs, Saturday, 3 April 2021 13:19 (three years ago) link

It's not Newcastle, is it?

Madchen, Sunday, 4 April 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link

London

Canon in Deez (silby), Sunday, 4 April 2021 16:36 (three years ago) link

No wait, I take that back.

Bristol?

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:00 (three years ago) link

Bangor?

bulb after bulb out of nowhere with the correct answer, well played

How did you do it?

ignore the blue line (or something), Sunday, 4 April 2021 17:10 (three years ago) link

don't you remember the time we went to Bangor?
