Next clue:

A group of eucalyptus trees, the home of philosophers.

Hint:

The wattle is another plant associated with Australia.

Are there no Monty Python fans on here?

I'm going to hazard a guess at Bruce Grove

Bruce = from the Monty Python "Bruces" sketch
Grove = where you might find a group of Eucalyptus trees.

Not so hazardous after all, Bruce Grove is correct. Your turn...

 

[duncanp]

OK.

With the election coming up, let's try:-

The Prime Minister is very overweight, and liable to become confused easily.

Is that a cryptic clue or a reasonably accurate statement

 

[duncanp]

Is that a cryptic clue or a reasonably accurate statement

It could be both, depending on your political persuasions.

 

[duncanp]

Time for a clue:-

What is the Prime Minister's first name?
What is another word (4 letters) meaning very overweight, or large?

If you confuse these two words, ie. mix them up to form an anagram, you get the name of a station.

 

[DaleCooper]

I was trying to make something out of "pm is obese" but instead I'll try:

Brighouse?

 

[duncanp]

Brighouse is correct, being an anagram of Huge Boris

Your go.

 

[DaleCooper]

I've just had a go so open floor.

 

[johnnychips]

No need to visit antenatal clinic at this station.

 

[Strat-tastic]

Bournville.

 

[DaleCooper]

Christs Hospital?

 

[johnnychips]

No sorry. The answer is served by Northern Trains only.

 

[duncanp]

Wombwell (South Yorkshire)

 

[johnnychips]

Is spot on -all yours!

 

[johnnychips]

Deleted-duplicate post.

Continuing my theme of political clues in the run up to the general election:-

Dear Corbyn, dinosaur and banal might be an accurate description of the leader of the opposition if he doesn't reinvent himself.

 

[DaleCooper]

Caledonian Road and Barnsbury?

 

[duncanp]

Caledonian Road and Barnsbury is correct.

Your turn.

Some anagrams are really appropriate, aren't they?

Caledonian Road and Barnsbury is correct.

Excellent anagram although you did rather telegraph it.

Next clue:

You might see Swan Lake here.

 

[DaleCooper]

You might see Swan Lake here.

To narrow it down a bit it's not:
Swansea
Goostrey
Cobh (obviously, that's in Ireland)

 

[John Griffiths]

Penmere?

 

[DaleCooper]

Penmere?

That is the place, your turn...

 

[John Griffiths]

Thank you.

A Scottish town? That's fast.

 

[GusB]

Nairn!

 

[John Griffiths]

Not what I had in mind, Gus, but what's your thinking?

 

[GusB]

Not what I had in mind, Gus, but what's your thinking?

Think of a passing sports car or motorbike and the sound a child might make to imitate it

 

[John Griffiths]

Ah! I like that answer very much, but sadly will disallow it for the completely inadequate reason that I hadn' t thought of it first.
