This is too obvious really for a cryptic question, but Lewis Hamilton was born in Stevenage

Thanks.

In Victorian slang: a hip, top-drawer, Indian-rebel-about-town (though far away from the Metropolis)?

Addition which, on reflection, should be made:

Looks like, in Victorian slang -- a hip, top-drawer, Indian-rebel-about-town (though far away from the Metropolis)

A bit of assistance, maybe -- the station is in Wales. When spoken aloud according to English spelling / pronunciation conventions, the name sounds ludicrously silly; saying it according to Welsh-language same, sounds perfectly OK.

Totally right -- congratulations ! From the name of Mangal P. -- as per your Wiki link -- in the Indian Mutiny, the British soldiery came to refer to any fighter on the "opposition" side, as a "pandy".

Next esteemed question is yours to set, Sahib.


Pantyffynnon

That one would also sound pretty silly pronounced as per the English system; but, as above, cadoxton has it right.

cadoxton -- Thanks. This is on the “off-colour” side; but if we can have masturbating on Dumbarton East...
