      Au contraire, you have simplified it brilliantly

      Yes - quite right.

      The Severn, the Teme and the Somme all feature in the titles of works by Gurney.

      Easy!

      Are you sure you don't want to have a crack at an H. Needn't be complicated, at all ! Think of a musical H word, check out three facts about it / him /her .... and let us have it !

          Thanks for the invitation Caliban, but I think I ought to demur. I would prefer to continue checking out the musical databases on which you guys are operating! Too hard work at present - maybe the next time H comes around!

              Strange thing is that Gurney went through my mind earlier but then I was busy witgh other things so never got round to googling around the channel and the marches.

                I know the feeling!

                Do you want a crack at an H if ferney passes?

                        I know it's not but it ought to be Hull Hell and Halifax.

                        Actually can we tell this H from his elbow.

                              I did the L&H gag somewhere lately, I think!

                              I didn't understand the Spit the dog reference, or cloughie's tilt at the question....

                              Enjoyed mercia's joke though!

                              We watch and wait.

                                "The sincerest form of flattery"? (as I tried to explain to the judge at my trial for plagiarism; I was acquitted but given three months' solitary for poor grammar.)

                                I didn't understand the Spit the dog reference, or cloughie's tilt at the question....
                                A reference to a previous cloughie puzzle in which one of the answers was Bob Carolgees, which got my jowls-a-wobblin'!

                                We watch and wait.
                                Yes, cloughie's gone quiet, though I think he's got the answer. I'll give it 'til after The News Quiz then add extra pointers if necessary. (mercs is closer than I think he thinks: his response is actually a very good way to the solution!)
