Steward's on an earlier entry: if you hadn't heard of a character, yet guessed it correctly, surely Google or similar has been brought into play. Is this not cheating?


Also, what womanofdulwich did in her last clue entry was v. helpful, ie, lumping all clues together meant one didn't have to search back.


Also, can we have an easypeasy clue so I don't feel so stupid?

Peckhamgatecrasher,


You are obviously referring to a previous comment of mine.


Yes, I did go on-line to find out what other series Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) had appeared in, which led me to the correct answer.


I think you will find that most people use the internet to find out certain info, but you still have to know what to google after working out the sometimes cryptic clues first, so it's hardly cheating!


Anyway, back to my first clue:


A real person portrayed in a novel and on the big screen.

Actually AM I always put people's initials in upper case, lower case always seems incorrect to me.


In future when addressing the other AM I'll use AMO, it's Latin for 'I love' you know.


Hope that's alright with all concerned.

I love you too HB,


But for future reference,


I'm happy to answer to Aq or Aqm.


Really don't want to step on the original AM's toes! :)

    • Not yet but have been seriously considering it. Good to know others are successfully using it. 
    • Hi,   If anyone has a big furniture delivery, please may I recycle your packaging? I have a chest of drawers that I am sending back but their packaging was all wet so I have to find some to replace it. Ideal would be boxes 140cm x 90 x 50 but can totally cobble different items together so anything offered would be great. I am in SE21 so anywhere walkable is fab.  Thank ou
    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
