A might also be AFC if that helps the googling.

Hmmm! A purrfect conspiracy of silence. A sounds like it might be a hoot in the vernacular as uttered by Jumping Jack Flash (just to show I'm not wholly out of touch with ,admittedly older, modern times).

Have another go then.

One might be king if nine are seen carrying a crowned box with instructions given to:

"Tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toldrum is dead"

OK I give up!

It's the Scottish Wildcat Project (or Programme ) at the Aigas Field Centre.
You can work out the cat references for yourselves.

Over to anyone who feels like setting another one, I'll be sulking in a corner somewhere.

See if I can get you out of your sulk Charles....

EP on maps, but known locally as P (and the Ps are different words). I stayed there from 1978-87.

Absolutely spot on Charles, except for the spelling of Tiumpan Head.

While we were there we stayed in Garrabost, and I miss it still.

Over to you.

Thanks, and there was I going to make a joke about sun-bleached wind-flattened grass resembling a certain incomprehensible hairdo... :shock:

What do S (U), C (W), C (B) and B (OS) have in common?

This may be a bit tough, but extreme map-searching could yield results.
