ooh thanks, I haven't heard that for a long time

reminds me of that excitable American radio reporter getting tongue-tied over his report of the fire at the Firestone tyre factory

Typical excitable Ozzie ...

You'd heard it before, of course?

Meanwhile, back at the question: I just can't crack part 3...

I was starting to wonder...

So we have: Flower, a piano, a song, but what is it about the drumming??? And why are lids involved? And what's this about railings?

I just need the singular F now

Got to hurry you....

[Nick Armstrong]

Got to hurry you....

Alright, flower...

I'm not sure which part of the clue Flower Drum Song answers? The Broadly bit or the first bit? The first bit I suppose, from your prompt - if Broadly = Broadway = musical = Flower Drum Song.

Drumming... lids... railings...

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Fleur-de-lis?

(On the railings of Buck Hice?)

[Flay]

No. What uses railings, a cube-like structure? This is the first flower, Calibs

[Nick Armstrong]

That's yer akshul French!

Beats my utterly irrelevant Flower of Scotland into a cocked hat...

That's a square, or could it possibly be a Cage? Something of John Cage perhaps? A Flower? Edit: crossed with Norfy - Great Minds and all that! Norfy gets the point, mine was merely a guess, never heard of it.

[Norfolk Born]

A Flower - a song for voice and closed piano by John Cage.

Yes but is there anything in the Cage!

Couple of lobsters perhaps? Or, some octopusses? Did anyone see that documentary last night about Billingsgate Fish Market and how, after 400 years, they've done away with licensed fish porters? I thought cloughie might have been interested, being in Cornwall by the sea, with fishermen all around him.

Not much of a Kitchen Wizard in this weather, more like salads and perhaps a home made potato salad is the extent of any cooking when it's so hot.
