Oddly gives a clue there may be an anagram. So, an anagram of she bred, plus the first letter of pigs which is P,
Quiet could be hush.
So an anagram of SHE, BRED, P, HUSH gives a place in London….Shepherds Bush. | | | |

I love cryptic crosswords, The Times often defeats me, but I especially like the Private Eye Crossword.
I'm not sure everyone on here understood the one I posted recently, when the answer was Trap-Eze (for high flyers) |  | | |

Dusty bin-tastic mate.
I don’t mind a cryptic crossword but that’s far harder than I need to work.
Thanks, anyway. |  |

It's an unwritten rule that if you use a person's name in a clue they must be dead.
Example from the Times last week:
Who's Keith to keep a jamjar for biscuit ? (8)
Who's Keith - Moon
A jam jar is rhyming slang for a car
So a car inserted into moon gives macaroon which is the biscuit in the answer.
You could go insane doing these things ! [Post edited 30 Jun 21:56]
