The current status is :
1. Alphabet consumer : Not yet solved
2. Dirty mark : Steyning is the most probable ("Staining")
3. Necessary for a boat : Not yet solved ("Hull" is the answer to another clue in the quiz). There are two places in the UK named "Water", but who's heard of them (unless, of course you live there!)
4. Not an illusion : I'm going with "Rhyl"; it's the nearest phonetically.
5. Others follow : I'm going with "Leeds" (leads)
6. Sent for a quiet life : I'm going with "Coventry", as in "send to . . . "
7. Scarlet shelter : Not yet solved, but "Redruth" (red roof) is probably the one.
8. 180 degrees defence : South Shields is good.
