Sahfend Pier - or in a posh voice Southend Pier - the longest pleasure pier.

My usual mad guess - on the London Eye!    ;)

No, sorry, not right this time. I've never done that, would like to though!

Yes, the 14th floor of the Hilton Hotel. £71.40 bed and breakfast on their summer getaway promotion. Worth it for the view alone. A brilliant rainbow in the sky at the moment.

And the answer for my last entry....Ryde Pier on the Isle of Wight.
I put it in as it is directly opposite the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth the previous question,which can be seen in my picture if you zoom in on the original version (which is not compressed of course).

Ryde Pier has a railway station (with London Underground style trains) on the end of it, which meets the ferry......you can also drive down it for £1.00 but beware of the 10mph limit as there is an average speed camera on it which tells you have been speeding!

Obviously Hollins didn't notice that yours had not been answered, or presumed the answer given was correct.  The Quiz really has to be checked for correct answers daily and answered if correct or not or this happens.      ;)

If it wasn't Southend Pier, it was a dead-ringer for it!

I've obviously met my Nemesis!  Right first time - it was shown on yesterday's Bargain Hunt on TV!    $good$
