[DaleCooper]

Chertsey?

That's the one, your turn...

 

[johnnychips]

Thanks Dale

HR mix-up at this station leads to fish killing the king.

Absolutely perfect - that didn’t last long! Have a fish supper and set the next clue @Calthrop .

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks; but eschewing eel-like things ...

We hear / deduce: John and Alan-a around dockland -- not in their traditional "manor", but not all that hugely far from there.

 

[johnnychips]

Littleport?

 

[Calthrop]

Like it; but no.

Burley-in-Wharfedale

 

[Calthrop]

Your turn to rob the...

Knowing you are of a literary bent I thought you meant John Burley the author.

Next clue:

Being sort of "in disguise" Leytonstone High Road is hard to find.

 

[RDP]

Guisley?

 

[DaleCooper]

Guisley?

It's Guiseley but near enough, your turn...

Cripes -- I was busy anagrammatising "Leytonstone High Road" into a fictitious place up north... John Burley, in fact a new one on me: Googled accordingly -- seems that he goes in for psychological suspense fiction; not really my cup of tea.

 

[RDP]

Cheers

Can't think of one at the moment so open floor.

Thank you.

Next clue:

"Apollo Thirteen lost ten", I could be wrong.

 

[DaleCooper]

Thank you.

Next clue:

"Apollo Thirteen lost ten", I could be wrong.

Hint:

It's another pesky anagram and don't forget that I use punctuation for obfuscation more than enlightenment.

 

[DaleCooper]

Another hint:

It's in NE England.

 

[RDP]

Hartlepool?

 

[DaleCooper]

Hartlepool?

Correct, an anagram of "Apollo Thirteen" - "ten I". Your turn...

 

[RDP]

Cheers. Try this one.

At the bottom we find a queen.

Beasdale?? (Good Queen Bess [Beas] at the bottom of the dale?) -- getting frantic, I know...
