There's a Quiz Team member who owns a Leeds-registered 'Advance' roller, but I don't think that will earn me a point!

"PK" is obviously significant, but no idea why.

City of York No3 (+1) for the main, sometimes driven by our Junior Under-wizzard of quiz. Places, are they somehow connected with previous DD meet-ups?

It’s nothing to do with meetings, much more recent than any gatherings. |

I need to stop guessing, having been in touch with our wonderful under-wizzard, I now know too much.
But once again, congratulations to our amazing quiz setter.

I suppose it could be PK's birthday... It is a notable occasion for PK, but you may recall it was their birthday last month. |

I'm assuming then that the link is off limits to those of us who don't know other members and their lives? At least I can stop trying to work out an LU related PK connection now!

You can read everything you need to know when looking at this very page.
Edit: I've been informed that this is only true when viewing the forum on a desktop, those using a mobile browser are unfortunately disadvantaged here.

I assume it's something to do with the fact that there were 10 clues and The Wizard has 10k posts?

Points to cso: 10 P and K locations for, and a background photograph by, rincew1nd. Chosen for today to mark his 10,000th post on this forum. He is only the third person to reach that milestone after Colin (who reached it in March 2013) and myself at some point between them (despite spending about half an hour searching, I haven't found any posts mentioning when I passed the mark). |

There's a Quiz Team member who owns a Leeds-registered 'Advance' roller, but I don't think that will earn me a point! Indeed, particularly as DN is a York number! The roller is now kept in West Leeds after its restoration. (Wallis sold their machines "on the road", so most are painted their chocolate brown and registered in Hampshire; York wanted their machine in their corporate Color with a York registration number. We rubbed down bits of paintwork and found brown paint under the Green) I'm assuming then that the link is off limits to those of us who don't know other members and their lives? At least I can stop trying to work out an LU related PK connection now! Oakwood. |

Just the significance of the letters 'P K' to find now, then...

They are my initials, the quiz post was my ten thousandth forum post - hence ten locations. We figured putting them in the holes of the rolls of my roller would be a nice way to do it.

The explains why I got a notification saying you'd liked a post from 2013  I'll have to post an update to that post/thread one day.... |
