Oh, for the love of God. You can't walk out of a building next to Greenwich park, straight onto the Thames Path. THERE IS AN ENTIRE NAVAL COLLEGE IN THE WAY! (Guess what I'm still reading?)

Less than 20 pages into this novel which is supposedly set in Greenwich, it is *very* apparent that it has been written by someone who has never set foot in Greenwich.

Third in our local pub quiz tonight which I’ll happily take… especially since @gjmale.bsky.social got the exact answer for the spot prize AND the tie-breaker for the spot prize and won a free drink. Best team-mate ever :-)

This is very good! @gjmale.bsky.social has an encyclopaedia’s worth of crossword knowledge in his head, and it really shows. Satisfying, clever and super fun.
Inspired by @carolinehardman.bsky.social 's excellent crosswords (who also gave this the once-over), I've written one myself. It's at mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/2456

This is a less creepy question than it sounds, honestly! Are you near a cemetery?
