Thank you Rol. And well done C for working it out.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Rol, that really pushed us to the brink - wouldn't have got there without your final extra clues so thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat really was a tough one Rol but C cracked it. So many names for bosses and leaders though, so nothing jumped out.
ReplyDeleteI have a Jimmy Reed joke but it's from Aberdeenshire where they speak in the native doric so I'll type it out as it sounds:
A family got in touch with the Obituaries team at the Aberdeen Press and Journal to place an announcement for a family member who had died. It cost a certain amount of money for each word and as they weren't well off at all they decided to keep it short. They went for:
"Jimmy Reed, fae Peterheed is deed."
The Obituaries team felt sorry for them what with the announcement being so short and decided to give them another three words for free. After a fair bit of thought the family got back to them with with the following:
"Jimmy Reed, fae Peterheed is deed. Volvo for sale."
I'll get my coat.
Love that!
