That was an excellent clue.

I don't want to hog the thread so open floor...

 

[D6130]

I'll have another go, if I may?

Does Edward open a bottle top with his tongue?

 

[neilmc]

Edale (ED opens the bottle of ALE)??

 

[DaleCooper]

Corkickle

 

[D6130]

Edale (ED opens the bottle of ALE)??

No....but good thinking!

 

[D6130]

Corkickle

Correct!

E for Edward.
Cork = bottle top
ickl = anagram of lick....which Edward does with his tongue.

Your turn to crack open the next bottle of wine!

 

[DaleCooper]

Oh dear, me again! It had better be another open floor...

I’ll have a go.

Dancer helps with this method of transport - too slow initially.

 

[Calthrop]

Sleights? Dancer is a reindeer on Santa's squad -- "sleigh", plus initial letters of "too" and "slow".

Absolutely correct. Merry Xmas and your go.

Io Saturnalia ! Thanks --

Across the water: we might hear -- with a certain intonation -- Eton boss master courteously inviting his Harrow counterpart to an equestrian excursion.

Beaconsfield

 

[John Griffiths]

Arrochar and Tarbet? The Master of Eton, who hails from London' East End, invites his friend from Harrow on a horse-drawn charabanc (familiarly, 'char'), while courteously thanking a lady, Elizabeth, who is providing sandwiches for the outing

 

[John Griffiths]

A simpler answer might be Ryde Pier Head, though that seems a bit far-fetched.

 

[Calthrop]

Beaconsfield

Alas, no.

Arrochar and Tarbet? The Master of Eton, who hails from London' East End, invites his friend from Harrow on a horse-drawn charabanc (familiarly, 'char'), while courteously thanking a lady, Elizabeth, who is providing sandwiches for the outing

Highly ingenious; but, I'm afraid, wrong. Oddly enough, I set one not quite four years ago (post #8,452), answer Arrochar and Tarbet, clue along broadly similar lines -- involving horse-drawn conveyance, and thanks being given to an Elizabeth.

A simpler answer might be Ryde Pier Head, though that seems a bit far-fetched.

That is indeed the answer -- I don't think particularly far-fetched, though of course I'm biased: idea being, the headmaster of Eton inviting same of Harrow, to accompany him on a horseback trip ("Ride, peer Head?"); "courteously" because it's probable that in fact he looks down his nose at his opposite number, as boss-man of that -- compared to his own august establishment -- worthless dump north-west of London; but is too polite to say so.

Your next one to set, for the honour of the jolly old alma mater.

 

[John Griffiths]

Thank you... A quickie now.

A place for the faithful, I hear.

 

[D6130]

Church Fenton?

 

[John Griffiths]

Not Church Fenton, sorry.

 

[devon_belle]

Christchurch?

 

[John Griffiths]

Nor Christchurch.
Clue: not just a place for some of the faithful.
