Cover surrounding everyone with problems

Cover surrounding
everyone
with problems/difficulties/confusion

Cover refers to a head covering.

Not getting far with this as you can tell!

Cover surrounding > on the lines of h-at?
everyone > all?
with problems > er, or an indicator to an anagram?

That's the right idea, but it's not HAT.

Open floor.

OK - try this:-

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Well, 'tis Sixty Years Since an author inadvertently named three Scottish stations.

Who was the author and the stations concerned?

Walter Scott

Edinburgh Waverley is 1

Welshman · 27th June 2012, 20:45

Yes.

"Tis Sixty Years Since" is an alternate title for Walter Scott's novel "Waverley"

This, and his following novels, became known as the "Waverley" novels.

These novels lent their name to three stations:- North Bridge [opened by the North British Railway], General [opened by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway] and Canal St [opened by the Edinburgh, Leith & Newhaven Railway].

In 1868 all three were aquired and demolished by the North British Railway, which then built the present Waverley station to replace them.
