    As you were .....

    Is that a clue I wonder?
    Who Anna? Me Anna? An extra clue, straight off, Anna?

    No, I'm deadstraightforward, me

            I see ;whistle:

            There's a distinct link, not to the A but to the answer to the second clue

              Well! Setting a puzzle and then just swanning off! I'm afraid Ami has lost a lot of credit with me - he's become a fallen idol, in fact. I'm off to see my sister's new parrot so she can tell me the whole story of how she bought him. I can see my car withen sight, so farewell, dear friends - I hope you all win.

                I came back pretty damn sharpish, I thought ferney

                Nice clues - wonder if anyone will get them?

                Do you want to consolidate & move on to the B, ferney - I have to leave in 15 mins as it goes

                  Typical!

                  Film Scores to Herbert George Wells' The History of Mr Polly and Hugh Greene's brother Graham's The Fallen Idol - which he no doubt went to see with his second wife, Doreen Carwithen.

                  I'd love it if you were to say "That's not what's on the card"!

                      <doh> I was off and away in completely the wrong direction re the musical version of War of the Worlds, then fell at Mary Whitehouse!
                      Hope the coleslaw makes the other two clues clear, particularly the car!

                        I can; but, call me old-fashioned, I prefer it when B follows A! (Blame scotty for lending me his dictionary!)

                              Well thank you for your helpful and kind interjection, Anna.

                              All Things Must Pass would be a AA good clue for the English National Opera

                                Arthur Butterworth: he conducted the Huddersfield Phil played trumpet in the Hallé. He composed Mancunian Way for wind band, Op. 66 (1985)
