Stepped out for a pint and come back to a distinctly Friday night feel (and not a reference to Temple Bar) to some of the answers! Alas no, to all the above although Faro airport leaves only one of the guesses I expected left (is that lady who plies everyone with Port still working there?) Clue two: mainland Europe.

Rorke's Drift, Natal Province, South Africa?

The Crimea?

Post by **DRT** » 22:59 Fri 27 Jun 2014

As close as Owen and I are to the answer I think we might benefit from a subtle clue.

Oh, I'm guessing either Vimy Ridge or Mount Etna.

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 06:34 Sat 28 Jun 2014

The right country has been alluded to by the night owls and so I'll just hold on a bit longer before the subtle clue.

Ukraine Russia?

Is it one of the hill towns of the Italian Renaissance? I'm going with Urbino.

Post by **DRT** » 14:04 Sat 28 Jun 2014

De Wallen, Amsterdam?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 14:21 Sat 28 Jun 2014

St Mark's Square, Venice?

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 16:16 Sat 28 Jun 2014

Subtle clue (or maybe not): think small boats.

Post by **jdaw1** » 20:44 Sat 28 Jun 2014

Milan.

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 12:29 Sun 29 Jun 2014

The correct region has been mentioned (and no, it's not the Crimea).

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 13:11 Sun 29 Jun 2014

Dunkirk!!

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 14:09 Sun 29 Jun 2014

Bingo-Dunkirk (or Dunkerque) it is!

Twas in one of those Auchan chain of supermarkets in the early 90s where all the other Brits were loading up on pallets of the cold, wet and fizzy stuff and I and a few mates were in one of the quieter aisles availing ourselves of the 'proper' Belgian beer (that we'd developed a fondness for a few years before) when we espyed in an opaque bottle Vascos over 20 yrs Tawny Port. Now I liked a drop of Port and had had 10 yrs Tawny in the past and as the price was reasonable I bought it together with the over 10yrs version and found it most enjoyable. From innocuous beginnings.......!

Phew-over to you Daniel.

Oops. I seem to have won. Question to follow.

Which cut of steak did I enjoy with colleagues this evening?

With salad, of course.

Salad is what food eats. Filet mignon?

Thought as much!

My question is for all the paranoid out there. Where am I while I am typing this question?

In a lead-lined bunker with a tinfoil hat on surrounded by canned goods, bottled water and semi-automatic weapons?

Definitely not. There were no strangers at my family reunion.

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:29 Wed 16 Jul 2014

You are in an undisclosed location.

Post by **DRT** » 22:37 Wed 16 Jul 2014

O'Bryant Square?

griff · Post by **griff** » 23:03 Wed 16 Jul 2014

You forgot the port, surely we can have some creature comforts post-apocalypse?

The location being undisclosed is partially correct as I have yet to mention it here. Yet my wife knows.

griff · Post by **griff** » 23:06 Wed 16 Jul 2014

Oh do like the suggestion of Oregon, but no.

I was suspecting your "warmer" was a double bluff!
