Hi aristo

Have got most of the South edges , some of NE and some of NW (inc the word for jack. You learn something every day, even if you forget it by tomorrow!) but stuck again. Working hard n it. Had folks to dinner so long delay.

Yes. And the Manhattan neighborhood has the same name as a London one.
