Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

My thanks.

We might hear: with Mungo, 18th-century explorer in Africa, trying his hand at penguin identification -- his being corrected by an ornithologist who actually knows his stuff.

 

[John Griffiths]

Park Royal? It's easy to get your King and Emperor penguins mixed up and need a bit of help, especially if like Mungo you spent most of your time in places like the Niger River, where such birds might be a bit of a rarity.

 

[Calthrop]

Basically on the right track, incl. re "Park"; but, penguin species concerned -- forget regal / imperial potentates: named after a commoner.

 

[johnnychips]

Adelaide, in NI?

 

[Calthrop]

Yet warmer (or, re penguins, colder? ) -- but still not quite on target.

 

[neilmc]

Adderley Park?

 

[Calthrop]

Adderley Park it is -- the Adelie penguin and the parts of Antarctica which it inhabits, having been named after his wife by the French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville circa 1840. @neilmc: your go.

 

[neilmc]

He's easily shocked by sexual misconduct, so why is he taking in that prostitute?

 

[Calthrop]

Prudhoe

 

[neilmc]

Indeed Calthtop shows he is a man of the world by getting the correct answer.

 

[Calthrop]

Thank you, kind sir. Me to go, I take it...

This station would seem to imply that Maggie's media guy/booster, was a tedious fellow.

 

[D6130]

Birmingham Snow Hill?

Dullingham

 

[Calthrop]

Dullingham

Must be the quickest ever ! Over to you DC.

 

[DaleCooper]

Thank you.

Next clue:

A loud disturbance greeted the queen here.

 

[John Griffiths]

Bangor? (There must have been a queen somewhere whose name began with O)

 

[DaleCooper]

Bangor? (There must have been a queen somewhere whose name began with O)

No, the queen referred to is Elizabeth II.

 

[Calthrop]

Admittedly being facetious, here -- Lisburn, Northern Ireland Railways? On Her Maj.'s visit to the town, uncomplimentary stuff shouted loudly by the anti-Brit element: Liz's ears burned ...

Ingenious but it's not a Translink station.

 

[DaleCooper]

Hint:

In 2002 a loud disturbance greeted the queen here.

Dolau

 

[DaleCooper]

Dolau

Dolau (an anagram of "a loud") was visited by the queen during her Golden Jubilee visit to Wales. Your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

Good grief -- with apologies to the good citizens of Dolau; I'd imagined that it was like Sugar Loaf on that line: not actually "a place" at all ...

 

[Loppylugs]

Dolau (an anagram of "a loud") was visited by the queen during her Golden Jubilee visit to Wales. Your turn...

Thank-you.

Sounds as if this is the most likely place to find a GP with androgenetic alopecia.

 

[Calthrop]

Baldock?

 

[Loppylugs]

Baldock?

It certainly is, poor person. Over to you.

 

[Calthrop]

It certainly is, poor person. Over to you.

My thanks !

Another thing which one might hear: this to do with people and their companion / conveyance creatures. I.e. the telling about -- concerning Edward and his beast in this category -- a matter which could get him into trouble with the RSPCA.

 

[RDP]

Horsted Keynes (Bluebell Railway)?

 

[Calthrop]

Horsted Keynes (Bluebell Railway)?

Spot-on ! ( [His] horse, Ted canes )

Yours to set the next one.

Open floor.
