I thought 9 could be cannes

2 & 4 both look like Sunderland & South Shields

9 is certainly Cannes Pumps.

3 is Miami Beach

5 is 100% copacabana in rio. you can see the sugar loaf mountain and scantily dressed people

1 Blackpool
2 Sydney
3 Miami
4
5 Copacabana
6 Brighton
7
8
9 Cannes

the most crowded becah in the world is in Busan in South Korea - but they dont look like Koreans to me. Sorry that was no help.

7 - cape town (possibly)

No 8 is impossible imo !

4 - Bournemouth

i thought 4 was Bournemouth too. trying to work out where the pier is though

4 looks like Bournemouth to me.... but probably isn't!

7 is Waikiki I think

just checked it and it's defo Waikiki

(hawaii)

8 looks like Holland - bikes, transit van, and what appears to be a WW2 jeep in the background

bournmouth could be a possibility
as I dont know the answers myself

also need no 10 which is here

http://i49.tinypic.com/1fd3k0.jpg


I think it is Margate anyone else have a view ?

Magis Flea there is probably a clue in the background but I cannot spot it.

fkin hell. was that the one sunny day in the year? :0

10 by the funfairs I'd guess Coney Island in the USA

just checked and you're right with Convey Island

yup coney island it is, wd

Good afternoon Gentlemen. :)

I have enlarged number eight, but the resolution is too poor to be able to make out any writing in the picture.

Likewise, the van's numberplate is illegible. The only clue could be the amount of papers lying on the dashboard. When I drove a van I used to shove stuff behind the steering wheel rather than on the passenger side where it would fall off. If this is the case here we're looking at a right hooker, which would obviously suggest a resort in the UK.

My guess is Sidmouth.

Funnily enough, i did the same - enlarged it, checked number plate, tried to read the signs, but didn't go as far as to look at the newspapers. You're definately more of a detective than i am!

van parked facing forward on LHS? of road, or facing backwards on RHS? of road. or photo flipped?

I think England then with a transit

I wonder if it could be Westcliff with that parade of fish bars

number 9 has the beach at Cannes got a well known name ?

I thought of photo-flipping possibilities Billy, but the blue awning tells us we're looking at the photo the right way around.

The biggest clue may come if Pump tells us where he found this montage.

I think the red arched sign in the background street reads: RESTAURANT & BAR.

No help there then! :(

Hmm those techies on CSI or NCIS would have this in no time.
looks like a fairly flat road onto a shingle beach, so presumably not much tide to worry about or seawall.

my best guess for no 8 is Bognor Regis - but still investigating

I think I recognise the bloke on the left - Is it Worthing?

1 Blackpool
2 Scarborough
3 Miami
4 Bournemouth
5 Rio de Janeiro
6 Brighton
7 Cape Town
8 Aldeburgh
9 Malaga

All except 1 and 5 are guesses.

I thought that too Ken, but it's not him. I checked.

PM
Every year someone I know does a quiz for about two or three weeks just before xxmas, most days he sends pictures through, he lives in North London.

Pretty sure 9 is Nice, not Cannes :|

^for Tev

No 10 is definitely not Margate

Pretty sure 1 is quite lovely, not Blackpool.

9 must be Cannes, Nice is shingle

cheers red, fair enough :)

So we just need 8 then?

I'd go with no 8 for Bognor Regis ..... but it's only a guess.

Sidmouth has got iron railings so it can't be that.

just number 8 needed but I reckon its impossible unless someone recognises it as somewhere they have actually been.

the clues seem to be there. Probably an English holiday resort, possibly shingle beach, road between the shop fronts and the "beach". cast iron railings a bit rusty from the sea weather. pull down canopies on the shops and cafes. somewhere you might go to as a couple by bike in shorts and t-shirt.
what looks like either "restaurant and bar" or "amusement arcade" in the background. and a dirty great pink apartment block / retirement flat /hotel behind it. Now thinking either one of the Butlins resorts, or perhaps South Wales somewhere

I vote Southend:

http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.535086,0.693308&spn=0.001023,0.00177&t=h&z=19

Red and blue canopies separated by one other, a road going behind the canopies with taller buildings beyond, the shadow of the railing matching the one in the pic, it's there I tell ye...

I feel congratulations are in order.

Congratulations Ken! :)

You are undoubtedly correct, sir.

At last.

Thank you PM.

I can see where you're coming from, but there isn't much to go on, is it the Westcliff end of the prom? Very well done for sourcing that Ken, and not at all a waste of about 45 minutes.

Is No 1, Paris?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/essexglover/3340097007/

I think that's the Petronas tower in number 1 so it must be Kuala Lumpur.

I hope that one is the same as Ken's overhead shot, Billy. Otherwise I have offered my congratulations prematurely! :0

That picture is definitely the one; you can see the RESTAURANT & BAR arch in the background.

PM - yes same end of Westcliff on Sea

Congratulations to you both then. :)

How Interpol have passed you two by I don't know.

WD on the picture billy & WD Ken
Though I did suspect as much

Thanks all for your help

KM was first, I was just looking for a follow up evidence from "ground level".
