h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am sorry, there is a connection between Chris, the letter and Maidstone

The letter is a ³­, AW... I'm cubic now. And, like Maidstone, I'm distressingly close to the sea.

WBO
WTC
1660

Sequential and literary.

Daniel Defoe was born in 1660 - anything to do with that?

Nope.

You were on the money with Charles II.

The obvious one would be Alpha-Bravo-Charlie, but I can't connect the other two off the top of my head.

*sigh" You just can't get the staff these days.

especially when they get captured by rebels or framed by builders.

I guess that was a clue, Chris.

So, what have we got:

Something to do with the WBO (World Boxing Org, presumably)
the WTC (World Trade Centre, as was), and
Charles II (throned in 1660)

A sequential literary link, and maybe something to do with magic.

I'll go and have a long think about it...

WBO:
Women Business Owners
Wartime Battlefield Operation
Wehrbeschwerdeordnung
Western Buddhist Order
Wide Band Omni
World Boxing Organization

What connects Alan Johnston with rainbows?

Alan Johnston is somewhere in Gaza kidnapped

So I guess it is Gaza

I can't believe this is proving so tricky! At this rate Icy, *you shall not pass*.

I just got it.

What connects:

Shirley Williams,
A nasty rash,
A Georgian trend-setter, and
