Sorry to go off topic, but in case the OP is looking in or others are trying to solve these, I wondered whether 2 could be ALDERSHOT (although that would need the clue to say 'fired'). I'm struggling to think of a suitable synonym for FIRE that could end a place name- but I suppose it depends on how rigourous the clue setter has been and the style of the other questions.
Apologies Ed. only just seen your post.
I took using a registered company name as a username to be advertising, and to be fair when *******books were doing the same thing 1½-2 years ago, you (if you were the Ed. at the time, I've heard there's been a change) agreed with me.
I am a 72 year old lady who was posting her first question. The name ramtinshelties is a name I used when I used to breed and show dogs. I can easily remember it. I no longer own any dogs. I was very upset by the response and felt that it could have been dealt with in a much more friendly way. I did not intend to break any rules but will change my username if it upsets anybody
I took it at face value, especially when I Googled it and got your Home page, and I then acted I good faith.
As it now appears not to be advertising, I apologise unreservedly for the misunderstanding.
