          ..and stop loafing around, you mean?
          As it happens, last week I was walking up a local hill pushing my cycle (well, it's the wife's actually, and - more relevantly - it has a wicker basket on the front) when a lady walking down said hill said 'Are you the Hovis lad?' I suppose I should be grateful that she didn't ask me whether I was Granville, out delivering stuff for Arkwright.

              Had you any breath left, Norths you might have asked her if she was Nurse Gladys - and chased her down the hill, phnnuuuurrr-phnnuurrrr

                  Had she not been accompanied by a chap who may well have been her husband, and more pertinently, had she borne a greater resemblance to Lynda Baron, I would have found the breath from somewhere.

                    It would be very useful to have an Anna's thingywotsit for E and decide who wants to decline the F - I seem to remember Res was about to abandon ship for a day or three, so what's F in' 'appenin'?

                        I was working on a G-G-G-Gladys Emmanuel gag too, Ams, but ran out of time (shortly after I ran out of inspiration and courage re: bringing on a stern "Boys! " from Anna)

                              that could be the answer and we have to provide the clues

                              e.g. Sylvester's quintet
