    I am being whisked off by Mrs Flay to return son's car to him (I am now minus a good £350 for servicing, fixing and MOTing plus the tankful of petrol the Mrs insists we spoil him with )

    Would mercs like to do the C? I can hardly claim the "prize" for my quick google anyway. I am cogitating a D if I can snaffle the C on my return...

            That'll bring tears to your eyes!!

            No wonder you can't concentrate on setting a puzzle...

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

                Now now!

                Robert Casadesus taught at the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau
                The Adélaïde Violin Concerto attributed to Mozart K. Anh. 294a was later discovered to be a spurious work by Marius Casadesus.
                La petite-fille de madame Angot, operetta by Henri Casadesus.

                Good question, mercs

                      You must remember the old news report: "The Countess of Wessex smiled at the crowd as she was whisked off by the Marines in the Royal Helicopter"...

                          I put "wench" into Google Translate and it said "jeune fille." That was good enough for me!

                            Sorry, Mrs Flay is on the scent, suspecting that I am distracted here and not houseworking....

                            Let's have 3 Ds that sound the same:

                            A very naughty boy, a C that was high and true, and a lush début
