        Finding their way blocked by a padlocked door, Watson made a key from the rind of a citrus fruit.
        "Great Heavens, Watson!" ejaculated Holmes, "How on earth did you think of that?!"
        "Lemon entry, my dear Holmes."

                            Yup - continuation of the citrus theme - the Purcell connection works two ways - the opening March from the Funeral Music for Queen Mary was used (as adapted by Wendy[then Walter] Carlos) in Kubrik's film of Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, and she was married to William of O (thus originating the expression "me old fruit").

                            Honours equally shared by anton and cloughie - either of you got an 'andy P?
