Here we go. Sadly this quiz is not up to the standard of Tillergirl or AliM due to my lack of East Coast knowledge and brain power in general, but I hope there's something here for everyone.
Round One is a mixture of anagrams and cryptic clues and they are all places you should know on and around the Thames Estuary. Anagrams are in bold to make it easier for you
. All the answers to Round Two can be found in this very forum (in one form or another) but answers may be open to creativity and interpretation!
Answers to be submitted by private message to me by 3rd January and prize giving will be at the Fitting Up supper (as seems to be the growing tradition).
Good luck!
ROUND ONE : Anatics and Cryptograms - places you know
ROUND TWO: Have you been paying attention?
