Thank you, blue moon, for the honour, and for the prize, which brings back happy memories of Childrens' Favourites on the old Light Programme. Apologies to anyone offended by my spat with rambler, and the drinks are on me!
Well done Bullfrog and blue moon (for clue and prizes). And good on yer, Rambler, for showing magnanimity. Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps please.......
Congratulations, Bullfrog! I had wondered whether you were the eight-letter part of pastille's Christmas present, but if you were you didn't seem to know it (that happens sometimes). Here's my own offering to fellow cluers: http://www.alltribes.com/peace-pipe.html
