    This my second attempt. The first has evaporated.

    Thanks Cal and Ams. I read you all every evening but I have explained to Anna, in another thread, why I am reluctant to participate but I shall, if I may, perhaps offer the odd, occasional and sometimes incorrect hint to help keep "my hand in".

    I might even throw some light on your current puzzle by observing that your clue could perhaps have included a reference to Britten - and Blackpool. But then, perhaps not.

          Legrand Ice Station Zebra and

            Lovely to have you back Angle and as M'Lud rightly says I don't think anyone hereabouts would find your timetable a problem.

                "Anima"? ... as in "Eterna"? Are we looking for a Jos lot?

                  ....composed a number of Animuses if that is the correct plural?

                    And is the "Premiered Debussy" a cunning subterfuge hiding a reference to Claude's Premiere Rhapsodie?

                      I'm not quite sure

                      But no to the second I'm not good at subterfuge ........

                          Ah! I think I'm on the wrong track, then. I was thinking of Jos van Immerseel, director of the Anima Eterna orchestra. He's not a composer.

                            Complete success

                            The bread, I mean.

                            Your answers were pretty good too

                                Never liked the name Jeremy 17% of all consultants are called same. Jacob now you're on the ladder....
