Christ no. I'd rather swim the turd-filled Channel. Think high-brow. And then think higher. This man is on TV! Sometimes...

No, can't be, he said it was west of Holborn. It must be Croydon then.

This man is a critic. But of things, specifically. He was once a restaurant critic actually. Maybe he still is. AA Gill liked his book.

Are you sure that Giles Coren is west of Holborn?
Not Giles Coren. But you are the closest yet.
He is an Englishman but he lives in Marseille. There is a very particular reason why he lives in Marseille, and it is centrally connected with what he usually writes about.

Another clue. He writes about a very specific and significant branch of design. This is connected with his living in Marseille.

Jonathan Meades! Indeed. He lives in Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation in Marseille and his new book is called An Encyclopaedia of Myself. I am looking forward to it.

Being as Mr Meades once frequented Taunton, and was ruthless about it, much to the outrage of the good burghers, I feel I should have got this. I may invest in one myself.
Now surely we must have covered all those west London boroughs.
Kingston upon Thames?

And so the thread quietly self-destructs in a logical paradox. If Derek is correct, then he isn’t correct. And if he isn’t, then he is.

The traditional phrase is to “seize ancient powers”, but I understood your variation.
