Cryptic clues = station name

[InkyScrolls]

Bellingham? It's a London station with no barriers and vaguely reminiscent of Noddy?

Edit: Your message from last night has just loaded, I'll have another think.

 

[DaleCooper]

Read the wording after the comma very carefully.

Shoreham? (Anagram of "or has meh")

 

[InkyScrolls]

I'm starting to think 'Romsey' was an easy one.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Walsall?

Thinking of Noddy Holder.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Or Prestbury?

 

[Loppylugs]

Shoreham? (Anagram of "or has meh")

Not sure where you get meh from.

Walsall?

Thinking of Noddy Holder.

Or Prestbury?

Well off route now.

Perhaps this may give a clue: After Big Ears was arrested here for fare evasion, he gave PC Plod a black eye. He will appear at Wimbledon magistrates court on Friday.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Haydons Road?

 

[DaleCooper]

Not sure where you get meh from.

meh
/mɛ/

informal
exclamation
exclamation: meh

1. expressing a lack of interest or enthusiasm.
   "meh, I'm not impressed so far"

Big Ears: "Let's get off here."
Noddy: "Meh, I don't think so."

 

[Loppylugs]

Haydons Road?

Yes!! You have it. An anagram of "or has Noddy a" which differently becomes Haydons Road.

A wee bit of trivia here is that the station is the closest to AFC Wimbledon's ground and their mascot is: "Haydon the Womble". Not far from the Magistrates Court either !

Over to you.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Huzzah! That was a good one. Thank you for the trivia as well; most interesting.

The Wraith - for a change - killed pointlessly, we hear.

White Hart Lane?

 

[InkyScrolls]

Well that was quick! All yours.

Thank you.

Next clue:

This place sounds like Blackburn according to Lennon-McCartney.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Holytown?

 

[DaleCooper]

Holytown?

Correct (4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire). Your turn...

 

[InkyScrolls]

Thank you.

The captain's footwear?

 

[Calthrop]

Kirk Sandall?

 

[InkyScrolls]

Correct! All yours.

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks !

This could -- we read -- be an appliance for a joint Anglo-German aquatic-horticulture undertaking.

 

[John Griffiths]

Boat of Garten on the Strathspey steam railway?

 

[Calthrop]

Boat of Garten on the Strathspey steam railway?

Absolutely right ! Boat (English) plus Garten (German for garden).

The next eccentric joint venture, is yours to promote.

 

[John Griffiths]

Sorry for the delay...


Raymond wears a mitre here?

Bishopbriggs?

 

[John Griffiths]

Yes indeed, remembering the recently-deceased illustrator and author.

 

[Calthrop]

That's right -- he of the (not at all abominable) Snowman.

Yeti-lore pun: Mi-go, I take it ...

In a polity which is fiercely anti-recreational-drugs, but muddlesome -- "Hanna and Vera: LSD file" -- direction to prosecutor.

Ansdell & Fairhaven (Ansdell and Fairhaven)?

 

[Calthrop]

Ansdell & Fairhaven (Ansdell and Fairhaven)?

That's the one. (I have -- rightly or wrongly -- adopted in recent times, the convention of citing double-barrelled "and / &" stations, always with "and", not the ampersand.)

Your go.

 

[DaleCooper]

That's the one. (I have -- rightly or wrongly -- adopted in recent times, the convention of citing double-barrelled "and / &" stations, always with "and", not the ampersand.)

By doing that you are depriving Mr Ampersand of royalties.

Next clue:

This station's name was the tongue twister that caused a lot of embarrassment.

 

[Calthrop]

Not Spooner Row, I suppose? (I tend rather easily, to think of that bloke.)

Good idea but I'm still working on that one. I think the end of my quest is night queer.
