Caerphilly has been named in a list of the top ten places most likely to feature as crossword answers.
The list, which also includes the likes of Ascot, Brighton, Chelsea, Edinburgh, Leicester and Twickenham, has been compiled by crossword publisher Puzzler Media.
Sue Purcell, Group Editor at Puzzler Media, said: “Place names often feature in cryptic crossword clues, especially British locations, as frequently our towns and cities have unusually spelt names or atypical pronunciation lending themselves to cryptic clues.”

I can add that to my list of reasons why people should avoid the Guardian.
They should ban it on cruise ships and ignore the `floating` voter. i.e. those that flit fom this party to that party and back again.
I quite agree with ignoring the floating voter. Actually, research suggests if the Conservatives aimed their policies at the middle to upper classes they would win elections every time. Why? Because it is these classes that donate the money to the parties to fight the elections, and it is there classes who are more likely to vote. If you look at the percentage of people who earn below £30,000 and voted, it is substantially lower than the percentage who earn above it and voted. The FPTP system is also beneficial here as few seats, apart form those in the Wales and Scotland, have a high concentration of people earning below £30,000. The North of England does, but blue Labourites and working class Tories would drift to a centre-right Conservative party.
This is the reason why Blair was popular standing on a centrist manifesto, and Miliband, on a left-leaning one, was not.
