[Chalky] I've generally tried to leave most or all of the existing options open when adding a move.

[Raak] Absolutely the best strategy .. and I hasten to add that I was unaware when I posted letter seven that I was narrowing it down to just the one station. Never mind - I'll be more open-minded in future :-)

[Everyone] I suggest also that someone provide a "my whole is...." with a more or less cryptic clue. See Tuj's one for Turnham Green (yes, I got it in the end, derr....) which is very much in keeping with traditional riddle-making and kind of rounds the whole off quite nicely.

[Chalky] I deliberately kept it open for my move 5. Dunno about the others.

I have to admit that I didn't - I hadn't realised there might be more than one answer after five moves. Shall we have another one?

My first is in SECONDS but not in HOURS

My second's in GARDENS but not in the FLOWERS

My third is quite GAMIN and not so ADULTE
