29) St.Pauls

"St. Pauls" sounds like a good alternative to my "Chester", Makoto. :-)
I don't know where St. Pauls is, though, but well, I'm no Brit. :-)

I rather thought of che(st)er, but it is probably wrong.

Arlesienne i didn't see you had answered 29 aleady lol, my answer was just a wild guess.


16. tinpower steamers(anagram)( 15) ? ...is getting on my nerves i can't work it out

37. Gretna??

Yes, is there a Wetspreadminster?
I am trying to get my scatty cousin to give me some answers.

36 Douglas

I'm not at all certain, but could no. 40 be Turnford?

Arlesienne, that was a good try but it did not include the obese. Your answer however inspired me, how about Stafford.

I thought of ford, because I remembered a sculpture by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm called "Fat Car", and the car was a Ford Escort. :-)

Stafford is a good idea, though.

35. Perth.

34 Hereford
