DEPOT!

Today’s Wordle answer is DEPOT. A depot is a place where you keep large quantities of boring essentials such as food, parcels, dynamite, etc. Or sometimes, it’s a big garage where buses, coaches, trams and the like are parked up. In any sorta depot you’ll find salt of the Earth types with pencils behind their ears, probably eating a good ol’ bag of the ol’ fish and the chips, with a bit of ‘ow’s yer father.

We got this one in four with the usual ALIEN/SHOUT one-two punch, then we tried DEMOB as it has most of the identified letters, and we were tired. 

After that, why, we was daaaaahn the blessed DEPOT so we was mister, with a pint of bitter and a one-way ticket to the good ol’ Lambeth Walk, to see the ‘Ammers as I do live and breathe. Evenin’ all. 

Now take this shilling and run along.

Duncan is the former lifestyle editor of T3 and has been writing about tech for almost 15 years. He has covered everything from smartphones to headphones, TV to AC and air fryers to the movies of James Bond and obscure anime. His current brief is everything to do with the home and kitchen, which is good because he is an excellent cook, if he says so himself. He also covers cycling and ebikes – like over-using italics, this is another passion of his. In his long and varied lifestyle-tech career he is one of the few people to have been a fitness editor despite being unfit and a cars editor for not one but two websites, despite being unable to drive. He also has about 400 vacuum cleaners, and is possibly the UK's leading expert on cordless vacuum cleaners, despite being decidedly messy. A cricket fan for over 30 years, he also recently become T3's cricket editor, writing about how to stream obscure T20 tournaments, and turning out some typically no-nonsense opinions on the world's top teams and players.

Before T3, Duncan was a music and film reviewer, worked for a magazine about gambling that employed a surprisingly large number of convicted criminals, and then a magazine called Bizarre that was essentially like a cross between Reddit and DeviantArt, before the invention of the internet. There was also a lengthy period where he essentially wrote all of T3 magazine every month for about 3 years. 

A broadcaster, raconteur and public speaker, Duncan used to be on telly loads, but an unfortunate incident put a stop to that, so he now largely contents himself with telling people, "I used to be on the TV, you know."
