Hint:

It's not in London.

 

[AlterEgo]

Surely, Kinghorn?

 

[DaleCooper]

Surely, Kinghorn?

Kinghorn is correct but please don't call me Shirley. Your turn...

 

[AlterEgo]

Open floor, I'm terrible at these!

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Staged horse feed with regards to an exclamation of merriment with a roasted male pig

 

[DaleCooper]

It's all gone quiet, anybody got a contribution?

 

[Calthrop]

I'm away from home for a while -- parted largely from the Net, and totally from "paper" sources of information. Have no idea about HMS Ark Royal's horse feed / merriment / pig clue.

 

[cadoxton]

Shoreham-by-Sea?

 

[DaleCooper]

Shoreham-by-Sea?

As we haven't heard from the setter for more than 5 days and this is closest to the correct answer (by default, being the only one) I think cadoxton should set the next clue.

 

[cadoxton]

...anagram of horse is shore
...um,...ham from a pig....?
That's as far as i got, and I don't believe it was even close to the correct answer.

But, whilst we wait, here is another:
crazed proxy informants escorted by the fuzz

 

[DaleCooper]

Canons Park?

 

[cadoxton]

Canons Park?

Not this, I'm afraid.
It's a lot more Northern

clue: focus on the words 'proxy informants'.
what is an informant?

 

[BurtonM]

worm > mealworm > Meols Cop?

 

[cadoxton]

worm > mealworm > Meols Cop?

Indeed.
Your floor..

 

[DaleCooper]

worm > mealworm > Meols Cop?

Indeed.
Your floor..

Please explain how to get from "crazed proxy informants" to "Meols".

I've got it now, it's nothing to do with worms is it?

Yep, no worms involved. Not sure if that was a bit of misdirection from BurtonM.

Proxy informants would be moles.
Crazed moles would be Meols
The fuzz being Cop,
with Cop escorting Meols, resulting in Meols Cop

I had a horrible suspicion this was going to involve an indirect anagram.

 

[BurtonM]

I... uh.. didn't expect that. I got 'cop', but confused 'mole' with 'worm' and yet somehow still got the right answer by vague association. Being from greater Manchester put Meols Cop at the front of my mind too.
Open floor!

 

[DaleCooper]

Here's one:

Was this the station for the LNWR Ostende boat special?

 

[me123]

Bootle New Strand?

 

[DaleCooper]

Bootle New Strand?

Correct, your turn...

 

[me123]

A gift for the noblemen, perhaps?

 

[Karl]

Kings Norton?

 

[me123]

Not what I had in mind.

 

[Calthrop]

Barons Court, London Underground? ("Courting" the noble persons with gifts?)

 

[DaleCooper]

Duke Street (Duke's treat)?

 

[me123]

Duke Street (Duke's treat)?

That's the one.
