The Swiss Re building is closest to Aldgate station, not Liverpool Street!

Hiya David,
Hmmm - fair of contention with this one.
Our accountant spends a lot of time over that way and she assured us it was Liverpool Street.
And it also depends which map you consult – it’s a close-run thing.
As it was so close we put entries with either answer into the tom-bola to be picked as a winner.
(Cos we’re nice like that.)
Finally though, any dissension will be directed to Friday 4 terms and conditions no 7:
7) User submitted answers are checked by our software automatically. The software applies a broad matching algorithm to ensure that a range of answers are considered correct. The software matches the answers we are looking for, if an answer is not matched, as far as we're concerned it's wrong. Any entrant wishing to complain about the accuracy of our software and marking procedures will receive this standard response, "it's only a game".
All the best,
QMB

I'm with David! : per Jeurg-Mueller.com (who?) Aldgate is 355m away at a bearing of 147 degrees, and Liverpool St is 381m at a bearing of 304 degrees.

More disappointing tho is that as Barry says the winner has been picked, it clearly wasn't me. Bugger.

Well, Juerg certainly seems to know his onions/ gherkins doesn't he?
Who am I, a lowly quizmaster, to dispute a master at work?
All the best,

PS: Haven't you buggers got any work to do?

Nope. I've got a cold, so I'm at home having a whinge as unfair quiz-masters!
But, obviously Barry's been taking lessons off Mr Livingstone - only 24% of people questioned wanted a westward extension of the congestion zone - but you're bl**dy having it anyway. Yah Boo Sucks!
