it's the 'short, romantic' bit that's stumping me. sorry am thick.

yep. no complaints here.

I think you'll find, actually, that the lengthy explanations provided at great time and possibly expense (in the opportunity cost sense) were actually on foot of your complaints. Actually.

is the 'so what's' part of it, or are you quoting a clue?

I do apologise, if I ever again feel like making a simple and polite request for elucidation I'll be sure to bite my tongue and live with my ignorance.
honorary = hoary around nor (nor=not, 'being entertained' some kind of indicator of container/contents apparently). btw this is the go-to place when stuck on grauniad or indie or ft:http://fifteensquared.net/

i don't know what a black country accent sounds like- pls to list local celebs

Sounds like Brummie to the untrained ear but is different. Noddy Holder's accent is more Black Country than Brum. Lenny Henry too I think.

Robert Plant was born in West Brom but spent too long in the States obv.
i have only heard l henry speak at length out of those. generally in the period between recognising him and finding the remote, so my recollection is probably imperfect.

triple cryptic def? first one the 'list' is superfluous. second one is good, i did think about listed buildings. third one like a comment on the credit crunch or something? if so it's just not true, i guess is my problem. overall i give it a C.
