    ... I get mine from Lea & Sandeman in Chiswick. Isn't there a Lea & Sandeman near Notting Hill Gate?

      I can only get 1 or 3 letters, pastore as in Mozart or pastorela (shepherdess) which is no good at all.

          Pastoris? Pastorum. Perhaps something in a title?

            Song of Solomon innit?

            ...si ignoras te o pulchra inter mulieres egredere et abi post vestigia gregum et pasce hedos tuos iuxta tabernacula pastorum
            Pacta sunt servanda !!!

              Is it? What about Pastor Pastorum then? Faithful Shepherd feed me. That could be a possibility if it's a hymn. But, then, how does SpecSavers come into it?

                I'm sure it isn't. Flay was flying off at a tangent as is his habit.

                But I like your suggestion. The tune is by Friedrich Silcher who wrote "Lorelei" which is a rocky outcrop on the Rhine, "also the name of a feminine water spirit, similar to mermaids or Rhine maidens." How we go round in circles on AA!

                  Flay, we are looking for: Farm workers at the opticians' ? How very strange! You'll see a gold one if you get this
                  I don't think we are anywhere near even if the Lorelei had tresses of gold and were very strange, and anyway Cali has obviously sloped off for a quick Chartreuse tasting ... I'm off now as well. Good luck!

                    And in the plural?

                    And what do you get a gold one of if you get something right?

                    And what is very strange? A puzzle... a conundrum... a...?

                    The P you're after is the surname of a composer.

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