Last week's puzzle solution
Congratulations to Neil Paterson, the first to offer the solution to last week's puzzle, after just two clues. We asked: what connects the names Roger, Michael, David and Nick? They are, of course, the first names of the most recent Lord Mayors of London: Roger Gifford, David Wooton, Michael Bear and Nick Anstee. A new puzzle, devised by our winner Neil, will start tomorrow.

London Weather, by Inclement Atlee
Although mild, today will be greyer than the time David Gray enjoyed a cup of Earl Grey tea with John Major's memoirs, in a bath full of iron filings. And I know, because I was there. You might get some sunshine later on, but by then you'll be engreyed to the point of indifference. In summary: scruttocks.
