Felt ones consuming lots of litres I get AA round

This is driving us insane - any help working out the answer would be appreciated.

Milliner I think.

Yes we thought this but do not have a clue as to why - all we came up with is felt ...felt hat but thought it was rather clutching at straws. What made you think of this - sorry to sound so stupid but just cannot make any sense of the clue.

I have to confess that my only reason was the felt bit, as you said, and lots of litres - ll - but don't know where AA comes into it. The only other word I could think of that fits the letters is maligner which doesn't begin to fit the clue.

Glad you were thinking along the same lines!
Thanks for your input.

A A Milne (who wrote Winnie the Pooh).

Thank you terry as was thanks for explanation.

Thanks for that - feel really stupid not getting that as we live near Winni the Pooh territory!

Just a question re Milliner

We understand AA Milne with r on the end to make Milliner - how come it is lots of litres for li? Why is Li lots of litres. Are we being obtuse - just cannot see this bit.

I see it as Litres I = LI

I also think it is a very poor clue, it just isn't quite right is it. Sometimes you get this sort of thing.
