      Thanks Mercia - at least I'm on the right lines for answering these puzzles! But question setting is an order of magnitude more difficult.

      I'm actually just going out to a concert. Could we do a deal? If you or one of the others could set J, I will have a go at K, or wherever you are when I'm next back in action!

        Well, that's not quite the way it works Odders, but enjoy your concert (what is it?)
        I suppose could do a J but I need to be out of here in around an hour max, so I would need a quick fix! Although it looks as if everyone is now offline

            Well done anton. I think it may be a quiet Saturday night.
            How about, If you gotta go now - that French bloke, Johnny Hallyday – "Maintenant ou jamais" Or, M&W, Glenda Jackson?? Just chucking some names out before the regular posse arrive ....

              Bit of an in-and-out evening here. Thanks for a J to think about, anton!

                It's Jackson or Jones.

                    Which war, I wonder....? Because I can find a Toccata for Two pianos by Germaine Tailleferre... but it's from 1957. So that makes it early Vietnam War...

                    No J leaping out at me though.

                    Irrelevant, anton?

                      Sounds good, ferney. There was a definite hint of Spring in the air earlier in the week darn Sarf, before this wintery nip returned

                      Green shoots can be very encouraging to the healing person - all the very best to you both

                              Harold Wilson was a pipe-smoking guest - obviously not a J though - and probably only appeared once

                              wartime two-piano Toccatas seem to be very thin on the ground - VW's Piano Concerto in its 2-piano version opens with a Toccata (and is vaguely war-time I think)

                              EDIT - more pipe smokers - Fred Trueman, Patrick Moore, Percy Thrower

                                According to Wiki the great socialist appeared twice .......so one down on the path to J........
