    I got as far as 'letters' then got seduced by sport, TMS and more importantly Tour de France. Not normally taking an interest in cycling but Bradley Wiggins has got my attention and I've been following it.



    Have a look in your inbox at what the postman's about to bring you, Anna...

          Calm down, Dear!!!
          Have you had a look at ferney's? I'd better rephrase that: Have you attempted to solve the latest puzzle? From a glance it looks like it's going to be simple, I suspect that is not the case.

            They're all at it!

            I haven't, I must admit, glanced in that direction.

            I shall do so now.

              I think ferney thinks by saying Elvis we'll go down that track. OK, this is the thing, this is what we do, this is how we approach it. So, what if, now I mean this is the thing, what if, he's thinking Elvis Costello. Pretty neat thinking, you have to admit that.
              Edit: off line now until pretty late now, will leave it to others to solve.

                  Is it too simple to think that we are looking for someone who has written songs for Messrs Presley/Costello, John and Bocellii?

                      well both Elvis Costello and Andrea Guerra have letter(s) connections
                      not sure about Elton though

                        Apologies for absence: a roast chicken called. (Called Edna, in fact.)

                        You're all doing very well - Anna got straight to the right Elvis, and merc's Guerra is correct. Care to say what the "letter/s connection" is, Mercs?

                          well I thought Anna was steering us toward Juliet
                          but I still can't find an Elton connection

                            Yes, Juliet is the "connection": you can forget the "postman" bit for Elton (despite his adverts a few years ago) - he does have another link: though not with her usual partner, he added gnomically.

                              looks like there's a 2011 animation called Gnomeo & Juliet, co-produced by Elton Hercules
                              The Juliet Letters, 14th studio album of Elvis Costello
                              2010 film, Letters to Juliet, music by Andrea Guerra
