I might as well post a little puzzle... This looks like it was inspired by ndrqu's "It's easier than you think" but it's not. Also nobody seems to find my puzzles hard anyway.

Europe - 6 Australia/USA/India/Thailand - 0 To quote a treasured member of F&G: "What I really need is a clue to how to find this without a clue..."

Europe - 6 Australia/USA/India/Thailand - 0 To quote a treasured member of F&G: "What I really need is a clue to how to find this without a clue..."Not a clue, just a very small help. This puzzle requires the knowledge of an interesting place. I am 100% everyone of us has seen this place in pictures (or why not, in real life)... it just has to come in your mind! But you have seen it, I'm sure.

If I were to give you a real clue, maybe I'd misquote George S., Esq. and call this puzzle "nice name, don't know about the town" (but from the country it's in, I'm sure this town is very nice too ).

I feel like I've been on a giant downhill slalom! The first half of the clue, as well as a forum friend's reminder that length really does matter got the neurons firing again!

The clue that will take you there: There has been a couple of puzzles about placenames lately, so I thought why not dig up this old one that used to be done every now and then in the old GEC (but at the time it was only in GE, no SV). Look for the big name. You won't be able to read it, it's too far in the distance, but you'll know how to find the place. Yes, placenames are sometimes more fascinating than the places that bear the names.

Well done everyone! Answer: The building at the back that looks like it has a long big sign on it is in fact the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch train station, in Wales. The well-known place name is the longest place name in Europe. Hey, I wonder if there are very short place names too, like, even, only one letter long maybe? I could even make a puzzle of it!!? Er, wait...
