[Wilts Wanderer]

Clutching at straws here...

Waterloo East?

St = Short for Street
E = ecstasy

 

[DaleCooper]

How about Weaste, on the Manchester Metrolink?

Wea = Sounds like wee (urine)
St = Short for Street
E = ecstasy

Right answer, wrong reason:

Refuse to admit ecstasy is found here (e in waste = Weaste)) in a street, covered with urine (a st(reet) covered with wee = Weaste) as well.

Your turn...

 

[duncanp]

How about

'Pants Person' shows that some Scotsmen wear something underneath the kilt

 

[me123]

Prestonpans?

 

[duncanp]

Yes it is Prestonpans.

I was trying to think up an amusing and witty clue based on the fact that "Pants Person" is an anagram of Prestonpans, but obviously it wasn't that good.

Your turn.

 

[me123]

Open floor.

 

[duncanp]

OK how about

A good place for Jesus to give his sermon on the mount, perhaps.

Holyhead?? (Headland -- precipitous terrain -- Holyhead's island includes the not-very-high Holyhead Mountain... "reaching", I have to feel.)

No.

The station I am thinking of is in England.

[Calthrop]

I suppose it isn't Chathill?

 

[duncanp]

Yes it is Chathill.

Your turn.

 

[Calthrop]

Thank'ee, squire (or whatever they say in Northumberland).

Allocation of animal-drawn vehicles en route to the jovial angler?

Wainfleet?

 

[Calthrop]

Wainfleet?

Correct ! The bracing beach and the east wind are yours...

Would you care to explain? I know a wain is a cart but can't see the relevance of the rest of the clue.

 

[Calthrop]

Would you care to explain? I know a wain is a cart but can't see the relevance of the rest of the clue.

Railway-enthusiast-speak tells of an "allocation" of locos to a particular shed / depot; sometimes alternative word used for "allocation", is "fleet". Wainfleet station is on the line to, and most of the way to, Skegness -- whose much-loved emblem is the Jolly Fisherman, = jovial angler.
