Cryptic clues = station name

[perryman]

Correct, though I prefer your first answer.

Would the locals even notice, though? Moving on:

I'm 18 and game for it but the tart is flagging

 

[plymothian]

I can't concentrate, too much smut.

 

[perryman]

I can't concentrate, too much smut.

Clue 2 takes us from sex to violence:

If we're playing indoors, 10 of us get knocked about a bit, so till we recover, it's better to work outdoors


Edit: added one word which I think needs to be included in the clue.

 

[plymothian]

Pinhoe?

10 pin bowling and an easy lady.

 

[perryman]

Pinhoe?

10 pin bowling and an easy lady.

From the first clue:
18, game = golf = flag(ging) = pin
Tart = hoe

From the second clue:
As @plymothian correctly mentions: playing indoor, 10 knocked about etc = 10 pin bowling
till & work outdoors (in garden) = hoe

Well done, over to you.

 

[plymothian]

North led and started with 10.

 

[Calthrop]

Hazarding a totally random guess -- Bamber Bridge ?? -- something to do with Mr. Gascoigne and his "your starter for ten" catchphrase?

 

[444045]

Another guess - University after the programme that the gentleman above originally hosted.

Magdalen College, Calthrop.
Correct.

North (East/South/West) being playing positions in Contract Bridge.

 

[Karl]

North led and started with 10.

Arghhh!! As a resident of Bamber Bridge I'm disappointed I missed this one!

 

[Calthrop]

Magdalen College, Calthrop.
Correct.

North (East/South/West) being playing positions in Contract Bridge.

A random guess indeed, on my part -- I know nothing whatever about bridge the game ! Anyway --

Mean dwelling annoys numerous fish, we might hear

Sholing?

 

[Calthrop]

Sholing?

Inventive; but no, I'm afraid.

 

[Calthrop]

Hint: the fish concerned are, alas, not alive. One syllable in the answer, represents a word used in the fishing trade: it's a -- large -- measure of quantity, for one particular kind of fish.

 

[johnnychips]

Shackerstone?

 

[Calthrop]

Your drift here, is got; sorry, but the answer involves a different kind of mean dwelling, and a different unit of measurement. (The word for said unit, comes from Scottish Gaelic -- though the station is in England.)

 

[perryman]

Stirling?

Stir = slang for being in prison, a bad house
Ling = a kind of fish, although I didn't think the term applied to solely (no pun) the dead variety.

 

[Calthrop]

Stirling?

Ling = a kind of fish, although I didn't think the term applied to solely (no pun) the dead variety.

All respondents' ingenuity, has been impressive; but -- not Stirling. (Answer-station in England -- see above.)

 

[Calthrop]

As regards the fish, we don't seem to be in business. Herewith, an alternative clue:

Cards-playing command to aristocrat -- highly eccentric -- whist, crank Count !

 

[Calthrop]

Of possible help: the station is operated by NR.

 

[Huntergreed]

Guildford?

 

[Calthrop]

I've mucked this one up, I feel -- realise that I don't even know up-to-date TOC titles. Best to end the thing: the station was Hutton Cranswick.

Open floor.

 

[thecraftybee]

Marina is definitely a Capricorn rather than a Cancer

 

[perryman]

Southport?

 

[thecraftybee]

Southport?

Aye. Your turn.

 

[perryman]

I am not into this French cheese. Follows, as I am German.

 

[thecraftybee]

Norbury? Nor as in "and not" and bury sounding like brie, the French cheese? Not sure where the German comes in so I imagine I'm wrong.

 

[ls2270]

I am not into this French cheese. Follows, as I am German.

Cambridge?

 

[perryman]

Cambridge?

No, not Cambridge.

 

[d9009alycidon]

Breich (Brie with I removed + Ich = I in German)
