Great quiz, Rick! (with a nod to CfN for the continuation  Wink)

12 is Melksham.

A few more:

16. I enjoy train travel, sometimes to visit my great aunt. Once a month, usually.

17. Take your chess pieces and place them correctly on the board.

18. How confusing, if the powers that be decided it should be green for danger?

19. We switched from lane L to lane K when we had our last ten-pin bowl. Lane L lived up to its reputation for being difficult to get strikes on.

Thanks...

I've looked and looked, and these appear to be cryptics rather than words hidden in the text.
