Despite being a big fan of the movie Best in show – There parodies the prestigious and pretentious dog exhibition world – it took me ages before I realized what today’s theme was about.
Being a British, Westminster automatically triggers thoughts about Parliament’s houses, Big Ben and all the tourist Malarchy, rather than Westminster Kennel Club and its many dog categories.
Despite my ignorance, this was still a truly comfortable puzzle, with dozens of hinting words lurking in the grid to throw us off scent. Top marks, threads.
