How far up North Ammy? Hope the weather improves, it looks like the Heavens are about to open here. Sorry mercs, I don't have a spare (I really should be more organised and have some questions worked out in advance like everyone else does)

But Caliban's suggestion of Welles, Welles and Wells is the opposite isn't it - by having one less letter? I confess I hadn't looked at the question until this morning and I'm stumped for any alternative answer!

That is a very good point, Anna, which eluded me in the mental fog which always seems to descend when attempting one of Cloughie's puzzles... I should have thought of John Wilson. Still prefer my Welles solution though <sulk emoticon>



On the road visiting an ailing relative, I'm afraid, not able to pad up and stroll out to the crease at the mo.

W-w-w-what? Do they? I don't (apart from the odd occasion when I've thought: oh that would make a good T - or whatever - and then I usually forget... or don't get the letter to set....)

I just assumed, from the speed at which a new question appears sometimes that people have a little notebook with sundry puzzles listed alphabetically! And people often say, 'here's one I prepared earlier' ...........

OH! maybe you're right! That would be weird though With all due respect to anyone who does it, of course!!

To quote Jonny Mac 'You cannot be serious'. Any pre-planning like that would seriously damage the spontaneity of the game.
