I think that's because you've had other things to work on..... I've had a two week holiday since this magazine came out - so plenty of time for being puzzled
Even with all that time - I only clicked re Whitechapel yesterday - which you beat me to by weeks

However, I would say that Bank, Southwakr and Knightsbridge are probably your best bets... (and King's Cross, but you appear to have done that already!)
Southwak'r?

That's why we hired you as the prrof-reader.
And congrats to Chazzie who has made it to the other end of the line now.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

SparkOut wrote:Well done LAT, that's really good going. Are you sure you're allowed to do that though? I understood that solving puzzles in this issue was tantamount to an insult to Gill & Bunny, so I've been going a lot more slowly and letting them get comfortable with the idea that I am making gentle progress.
Now I am glad that someone listens (mind you that's probably because SparkOut is scared of Gill and me). I don't blame him actually. We can be very scary. Mwahahahahahaha...
Oh, and in case nobody mentioned it, anyone who finishes too quickly gets to test solve the next 6 issues.

For those of you who think you are imagining things- you aren't.
Gill has just done a bit of deleting because she was talking twaddle!

The Complete Fool has reached both ends of the line (unless one was really a beginning in disguise).
Fortunately I'm a
complete fool, so there isn't any part of me missing.

Well done both. You now have to test solve the next 6 issues.
