    Default. Sandy, Gibbs and Granville - was that the firm of solicitors that Calibs was fired from? Stop this, Flay, you're meant to be working!

      'Is Granville Bantock?' he asked croakily. (Or is it Arkwright's delivery boy?)

        That's what I wondered in my haste this morning (The Fire Worshippers)

        But I also got Dolly Parton for the Sandy('s song) reference - Great Balls of Fire album (Sandy's song)

            I was thinking of Bantock's comedy overture 'The Frogs of Aristophanes' (he said even more croakily).

              And I came up with - wait for it! Ferishtah's Fancies!!! As opposed to a French Fancy! Much loved by English patisserie fanciers with a gooey fondant centre.

                So the fiery frog fancifully awaits cloughie's judgement.

                  Evenin' all - You lot were out all morning - I've been out since.

                  One bit of truth you've emerged with is that Granville is Sir .... Bantock.

                  I can tell you that Sandy and Gibbs are non-classical.

                      I hope this isn't a vile case of apostrophe abuse. You don't mean Gibb's as in: of the Bee Gees, do you?

                        I don't mean Gibb's - Gibb's what? I mean Gibbs as in Bee Gees - Gibbs being the plural of Gibb.

                          Personally I need a clue.

                            OK Cali.

                            so far

                            Granville is Bantock
                            Gibbs are the Bee Gees
                            Sandy is?
                            F is ?

                            The F appears in a work by Bantock, an album by the Bee Gees and there are two choices with Sandy.
