Indeed this is what I meant. Sorry if you felt I was patronising you; I feel the same way about these riddles. If they're complex, that's good; but they need to be in line with the rules.

I don't think this is going anywhere... I'll let the floor open up.
You should have got Falmouth Tn as your answer, but seeing as I've just revealed it...

Why abbreviate Town to Tn? That ain't helping me!

Indeed, such an abbreviation is not allowed.
DasLunatic, if you're going to play on this quiz then play by the rules. This is your second warning.

My sixth comes from Barnhill, but not Hyndland.
Number seven resides in Upper Holloway and Brondesbury Park,
Whist eight is in Newmarket and Northumberland Park.
