Uncle Titus' junkyard in Rocky Beach California -'The Three Investigators Books'

A long forgotten caravan covered in junk with secret entrances used as the base for the teenage detectives.

Red Gate Rover and Green Gate One. And Worthington in the golden Roller for guessing nearest the number of beans in a jar. Outwitting E. Skinner Norris. Didn't seem to be a lot of girls about - probably just as well, although I think in some of the much later books in the series, they were given girlfriends. I've not read one since I was about 14. Do they age as well as Malory Towers?

Because face it where you live sucks. Either it's some grim rainy place oop north with no work and your whippets got emphysema. Or the grim, urban ghetto of London over run by gangs of assylum seeking former Olympic athletes, with knives and no sense of humour.

Or even worse. Wales.

I can probably sort you out if you ever need a change of scene.

21 or 25 Railway Cuttings?

Ringworld.

Though I'm not sure if it's set up for wifi and 3g, which may be a deal-breaker.

I'd like to live in Holby. I'd spend my entire day at the hospital checking the toilets and warning people off the stairs. Yes, I know, this would mean nine tenths of a potential episode would be void of action, but I feel a duty.

Trumpton, preferably as a member of the fire service. All the bird pulling power of being a firefighter but with none of the risk of smoke inhalation or being crushed by burning timbers. I bet Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub never went short of poontang.

You forgot Pugh, Pugh and Barney McGrew
Not sure if there would be enough females to go round. Miss Lovelace sounds like a good bet but Mrs Cobbit probably wouldn't be interested.

Have you been watching The Thirties in Colour Marc? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cqfd4 I'm really enjoying it.

I would like to live in Level Access Land where there are no swinging elbows or handbags, no screaming children, no exhaust fumes and no farting anywhere near my face. A never ending supply of no calorie chocolate would be good too.

Is your name Clark by any chance ?

Mr wonkas chocolate factory or the burrow.

The Magic Roundabout.

The island with the sirens in Homer's Odyssey!

Oo, that reminds me of another childhood book I enjoyed.
Emil & The Detectives.

I'd like to visit the Land of MakE Believe with Bucks Fizz

Rimmer World.

Not the Red Dwarf one.

No. I can't do impressions of the Lesser Spotted Corncrake or the Splayfooted Moorhen. Not as well as him anyway.

Just as well.

We haven't got enough fish paste to go round.
