[Salas]

[Dustybun]

[Dustybun]

after all the Palace in the story is made of crystal!!!!!

There are several versions of this story on the internet. If you type in extracts it should bring them up. They seem to begin "The sun shone Brighton"
There's some with almost the same wording as that paragraph with Walsall as the answer. It would fit better without roof or could it be Millwall.
Like you Salas, I remember doing this one before, several years ago, but can't remember the answers.
