What is the point of this discussion?

cadoxton provided the correct answer and the reasoning behind it, it was quite clear that it was a second attempt so the use of double post would make no difference. cadoxton could easily have deleted the first attempt but, being honest, did not. Most importantly the setter (me) accepted the answer, perhaps I should have said "Correct but you've cheated so we'll have to wait for someone else to give the same answer".

What next, are we going to disallow vexatious posts like Newhaven Marine?

This is the current clue:

It's not Kinbrace

It's not Brough

It's not part of National Rail, in fact.

Butler's Hill is close to being the correct answer.

Just to give a quick nudge in the right direction, the first clue was inspired by an extremely offensive joke and the bear in clue two was famous in the past, less so nowadays.

It's not Firswood.

Let's bust this whole thing wide open with clue number three:

London's big dong erection cools off

Benchill is correct!

Clue One:
One of the many, many things that could support a family = bench*
Not very well = ill

Clue Two:
"famous" bear = (Gentle) Ben
Relax = chill

Clue Three:
Big dong erection = (Big) Ben
Cool = chill

*I don't recommend a Google search of "A park bench can support a family" as it links to a highly offensive joke. Don't say I didn't warn you.
