      Very neat, very well done. The ladder - rung thing just made me strike my forehead

      I see from wiki there's an oranges and lemons passacaglia by GJ. But where do you get Jacobi from (other than it v skilfully fulfils the mission of the question)?

      Irresepctive: it's great solving

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        What about the all-seeing vigilance of Mrs Flay?!

                        Maybe Monday evenings she's out at Karate class....

                              No, she's here, unhappy when I sneak a peek at the computer. She has a bad back at the moment so cannot go out for her usual runs, hence is even more irritable at the moment.

                                Blimey, I was sure that must be correct.

                                I for one am going to need clues to chisel into one of your high-compression questions, Cloughie!

                                Meantime, my best regards to Mrs Flay and wishes for rapid relief from her back problems.
