Across
- 1. Degree? Synonym: the past. Difficult to justify spending 3 years studying this to parents who just ‘want you to be able to get a decent job, Summer!’. (7 letters)
- 3. Hobbies? Requires two gloves and a ring (no, I am not talking about oven mittens and marriage!). (6 letters)
- 5. Favourite Food? A rogue choice, but nonetheless the breakfast of champions. At Dishoom, you can order an unlimited portion for £3.90. (8 letters)
- 6. Birthplace? Famous for being UK City of Culture 2017 (despite the laughs). (4 letters).
- 7. Court Road Favourite place in London? A particular tube stop decked out with Edwardo Paoloozi’s work. (3 words, 9, 5, 4 letters).
- 10. First dream career? Ross from Friends was my inspiration. (13 letters)
Down
- 2. University? Has produced a disappointing array of political leaders and is always in the papers for an embarrassing lack of social diversity. On a positive note, it has lots of beautiful libraries. Rival is Cambridge. (6 letters)
- 4. Hometown? Small sea-side resort in North East Yorkshire. David Hockney also lives here. (11 letters)
- 8. Maccabees Favourite Band? Surprisingly their name comes from the bible. The name originally refers to a group of Jewish rebel warriors that took control of Judea. I may of shed a tear at their farewell concert in Ally Pally last month….(2 words, 3, 9 letters).
- 9. Beautiful Laundrette Favourite film? Another way of saying ‘My aesthetically pleasing washing machines’ (3 words, 2, 9, 10 letters).
