Cryptic clues = station name

[duncanp]

Yes Tonypandy is correct.

I couldn't think up a more difficult clue on the spur of the moment.

Your turn.

 

[Calthrop]

Tonypandy, is one of those Welsh names which in the language of that land, are fine and dignified; but sound daft when transliterated into English (I set the name as an answer in this game, a couple of years ago).

On the old company's "dryer side": we maybe hear a harsh employer's staff members protesting about -- and having trouble believing -- their colleague Edmund's having been fired from his job.

 

[Calthrop]

Alternative clue (with a bit of apprehension about getting into trouble for political incorrectness): Caribbean chef, far from home, addresses his pupil:
Jus' ax, mun; d'ham got to go in before d'iguana...

 

[neilmc]

Saxmundham surely. Iguanas not an essential ingredient of Caribbean cooking.

 

[Calthrop]

Saxmundham surely. Iguanas not an essential ingredient of Caribbean cooking.

Although as I understand, they're favoured eating in, especially, Trinidad and Guyana... Saxmundham it indeed is. (My original clue -- "Mun" is sometimes a diminutive of Edmund; imagined his former colleagues exclaiming re their tyrannical employer: "[he] sacks Mun -- damn !")

Your floor.

 

[neilmc]

Battleship and charcoal found on the estuary, as CNN would report.

 

[neilmc]

Alternative clue:

Sounds like no serious injury at the vegan restaurant

 

[Calthrop]

Just to submit something -- Greenfaulds?

 

[neilmc]

Not Greenfaulds. The estuary is the Thames estuary. The second clue is a verbal one "sounds like ..."

 

[Calthrop]

Greenhithe ?? ("hi, the -- emergency services aren't needed" -- am sure that I'm being silly here).

 

[neilmc]

Doesn't begin "green" but is a colour-related answer.

 

[johnnychips]

Grays?

 

[neilmc]

Johnny got it - Grays as in battleship/charcoal grey, in American spelling. Also "graze" as in slight wound or to eat as a herbivore.

 

[johnnychips]

Discover the price of blue cheese at this station.

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Mouldsworth?

 

[johnnychips]

Is absolutely correct. Your floor!

 

[Y Ddraig Coch]

Thanks, am a bit busy to come up with one right now. Open Floor for anyone who fancies a go or ill sort one tomorrow if nobody takes it on

 

[444045]

A cricket term meets part of a Carry on!

 

[ls2270]

Andover?

 

[444045]

The Bowlers very happy so long as he doesn't lose his !

 

[Calthrop]

Utterly at random, and wrong I'm sure -- Maiden Newton ??

 

[444045]

Utterly at random, and wrong I'm sure -- Maiden Newton ??

Not as wrong as you think, you have a part right, just change the other part!

 

[Calthrop]

Maidenhead, then?

 

[444045]

Maidenhead, then?

You are spot on..well done. Cricket term was Maiden and Carry on film was Carry on dont lose your head.

The floor is yours......

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks -- blundering to the answer, rather; though I'm aware (post hoc) of the film -- they're in the French Revolution...

Appropriately, re Highland regiment: we kind-of hear / see, inspecting officer rebuking private for failing to polish his boots to required standard.

 

[Calthrop]

Alternative clue: To poultry-census-taking bureaucrat: words of farmer, suspicious but confused -- a hen scan, eh?

 

[duncanp]

Achnasheen, being an anagram of A hen scan eh or from the first clue "Ach, na(e) sheen"

 

[Calthrop]

Achnasheen, being an anagram of A hen scan eh or from the first clue "Ach, na(e) sheen"

Right on both counts ! Your floor.

 

[duncanp]

Next clue:-

When translated into German, sounds like somewhere you would accomodate your pet rodent.

 

[Calthrop]

Probably "reaching" more than a bit; however -- rabbits, though now reckoned as in the order Lagomorphia, used to be considered rodents; and the orders are closely related. "Rabbit" in German: Kaeninchen. If you're extremely fond of your pet, I suppose you might construct a mini-town for it to live in: so, Kennington (London Underground) ?
