The first person to email me the correct solution wins a free pint at the Cardiff pub of their choosing. It’s not particularly difficult, but as there are unlikely to be any entries I reckon my money’s safe…

Correct Lucy! Where/when do you want to have that drink? I’m only barred from the Michaelston currently…
You sure know how to make an offer sound inviting :). I’d rather stick to central Cardiff, near the station – for a quick getaway!
Round there it’s gotta be Kiwis surely? Unless you mean the coffee machine on platform 3. Notice how I’ve already completely forgiven you Lucy for giving away the answers and so ruining all the fun for my other reader – I’m that kinda guy!
Ooops – sorry. I realised after that I should have tried to find your e-mail address. Can’t remember; has Kiwis got heated outdoor space for us recidivist rollie fans?
You’re right, we need a heated outdoor smoking area. That rules out Kiwis. Tell you what, I’ll email you my phone number and we can arrange your free drink (or two if you complete a new bumper puzzle I’ve just posted) away from the prying eyes of my other reader.
Was this just a cunning ruse to get a date? Bravo it if it was. 🙂
And it worked Stu: no girl can resist an anagram!
