Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

But of course.

Excellent, thank you.

A sure sign of witches on the move.

High Brooms?

 

[Neo9320]

Coventry?

 

[InkyScrolls]

Both are good but DaleCooper has it - High Brooms was the correct answer. All yours!

 

[Loppylugs]

That's not even in the Kama Sutra and probably not possible when drunk even if Arlene was willing.

I don't log on for 48 hours and the whole thread turns to disgust....restraint please everybody. Just jealous I missed it all!!

Thank you.

Next clue:

Decipher this −·−− to reveal the station.

 

[Calthrop]

Thank you.

Next clue:

Decipher this −·−− to reveal the station.

I think it's our old friend Wye.

 

[InkyScrolls]

I think it's our old friend Wye.

Seconded!

 

[DaleCooper]

I think it's our old friend Wye.

Seconded!

You both fell for it. It's "Decipher this" not "Sounds like". Think again.

 

[Calthrop]

Subtlety here, I reckon, beyond my powers of making sense of. Attempting a little comedy: _ in Morse, is T; . _ is A. _ . _ _ could be "TAT" -- is that maybe a popular nickname, in the area served by that station, for Tattenham Corner ?

Of those 38 or so words one is very relevant to the solution.

 

[DaleCooper]

Hint:

It's served by SWR & GWR.

 

[444045]

Wild guess Yeovil Pen Mill ?

 

[DaleCooper]

Wild guess Yeovil Pen Mill ?

That certainly is wild.

Hint:

How might you describe "−·−−"?

 

[InkyScrolls]

Long short long long?

Hall i' th' Wood?

 

[DaleCooper]

Long short long long?

Hall i' th' Wood?

I'm sneaky but not cruel.

How might you describe "−·−−"?

...and then solve the anagram.

 

[Loppylugs]

Thank you.

Next clue:

Decipher this −·−− to reveal the station.

Romsey ? (Morse + Y)

 

[DaleCooper]

Romsey ? (Morse + Y)

Well done, you have deciphered it. Your turn...

 

[Loppylugs]

Well done, you have deciphered it. Your turn...

Thank-you. I would definitely put that in the "sneaky" zone.

Does Big Ears plan to alight here, or has Noddy a different idea ?

 

[InkyScrolls]

Renton? Reference to an old but terrible joke?

Or, for that matter, Elephant & Castle?

 

[Loppylugs]

Renton? Reference to an old but terrible joke?

Or, for that matter, Elephant & Castle?

You will have to tell me the joke, especially if it's terrible!

Not Elephant & Castle, but I know the elephant joke. Why do elephants have big ears ? Because Noddy won't pay the ransom. (That is terrible!!)

 

[InkyScrolls]

Not Elephant & Castle, but I know the elephant joke. Why do elephants have big ears ? Because Noddy won't pay the ransom. (That is terrible!!)

It's a variant of the one you gave; "Noddy won't pay the rent". Even worse!

 

[InkyScrolls]

Clutching at straws a bit, but Ystrad Rhondda?

 

[Loppylugs]

Clutching at straws a bit, but Ystrad Rhondda?

No Welsh accents here.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Woodmansterne?

 

[Loppylugs]

Woodmansterne?

No, but at least you are much nearer this time geographically. Will give a clue later.

 

[InkyScrolls]

No, but at least you are much nearer this time geographically. Will give a clue later.

Good to know! I was going off the idea of Noddy being a stern man made of wood, having other ideas - a bit loose, I'll grant!

 

[DaleCooper]

Thank-you. I would definitely put that in the "sneaky" zone.

Does Big Ears plan to alight here, or has Noddy a different idea ?

Beltring?

 

[Loppylugs]

Beltring?

Not Beltring.

Forget Big Ears, he has been carted off by PC Plod because of fare evasion. No barriers here.

 

[Loppylugs]

Thank-you. I would definitely put that in the "sneaky" zone.

Read the wording after the comma very carefully.
