Named after a person? Strictly speaking, No. But Yes would actually be a more helpful answer. “The” is not in third place. I said it wasn’t “The X of Y”. For free, I’ll tell you “The King Edward potato” exactly corresponds to the AOTC, though I’ll mention again that other descriptions would be perfectly acceptable. The King Edward potato? No. I’ll also remind you that the AOTC is unique “of”-inclusive? No.
Vegetable = vegetable? Yes. The Liz Truss lettuce? Yes! Have this unconventionally shaped baton. It’s slightly brown on the edges, but still perfectly usable.
Thank you, though this baton is somewhat rotten on the inside. No similarity to any person, living or half-dead, is to be inferred. So let's relaunch with MINERAL with some VEGETABLE connotations.
Its purpose is not entertainment. It is located in the UK. It was built for transportation purposes. I'm not sure if it's regarded as old-fashioned. It's not a train.
It does not cross the river Forth. It is not on the A5. The name does supply a vegetable connotation. But it's such a punnish and abstruse one, that to be honest I can't recommend this line of investigation. It is not the Prince of Wales' bridge on the M4. It is not the Menai bridge. If you don't want a hint, read no further. Hidden textRemember that this is a mechanical device.
It is not a suspension bridge. Reconfiguration has me stumped. I think the best answer is No, but only because the standard functioning configuration defines its usage under all circumstances. But Yes might also be possible.
Right answer! A nice piece of engineering not far from me. Also an example of "The A-Road, Interrupted". Sadly it's out of service at the moment and could well never get back into operation. So congrats to Tuj, to whom the baton is being delivered via a gondola.
Is it the feeling of never having heard of the Tees Transporter Bridge then being amply compensated by having now heard of the Tees Transporter Bridge?
[SM] NO. If I'd set that and there wasn't a guess straight away, that could have taken years! [RTG] NO. Although, to be strictly honest, YES it can be linked. Hidden textThat feeling seems to me like something that might have been named by Liff, but it's possible my thoughts are being influenced by my main source of the feeling being my job QCing British geographic data!
[R] NO. Well, no more than your average abstract does. Or maybe slightly more. I need to ask a blind person! [CdM] NO. I *think* this one is inarguable!
If you were standing in front of Raak and Chalky, one of whom always tells the truth and the other of whom always lies, and both know the AOTC, and all of you know the foregoing but you do not know which one is the truth teller, and you were to ask Raak "if you asked Chalky if the AOTC begins with the letter P, is it the case that she wouldn't not say 'No'?", is it the case that he wouldn't not say yes?
[C] YES. Unless I've made a mistake! Are you? :P Hidden textIf I had chosen the AOTC to be something related to lying all the time, and gave the opposite answer to every question... that would have been very brave indeed! [SM] NO! Hidden textHonestly, NO!
