DM: Good evening. We're talking this evening to Sir Arthur Greeb-Streebling.
PC: Streeb-Greebling.
DM: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I thought it was Greeb-Streebling.
PC: No, Streeb-Greebling. You're thinking of Greeb-Streebling. The "T" is silent, as in "fox"."...the isle is full of noises,

The co-codamol clouds clear and the sunshine of lucidity gilds the solution to the puzzle.
In other words: too right mate!
Somervell, Sharp and Moeran were all pupils at Uppingham.
