Hopefully we will find each other? I didn’t notice the old thread filling up.
Happy Christmas to you all and thanks for your company through the year!

🤣@people googling tonearm-it’s not often being approximately 427 years old is an advantage!

Was convinced Green was a red herring! Saw blue once it was all that was left. Purple a lucky guess!

purple was leftovers but I did get the connection. I was looking for something else for some of those until I got blue.

There was a red herring there for the US audience which I nearly fell for because I had the same children's books.

No default although my purple connection wasn’t quite the same as theirs.

I thought I was going to be the only one initially making that incorrect purple connection but it looks like it was a very common mistake here.
No hints and no default today 🙂

Purple was leftovers but I guessed the connection.

But Gorey! I was looking for castles, or harbours, or something!

Purple was rather silly. I was sure that blue was going to be purple.
