Enigma

PH - Public House (e.g. on OS maps)

RE - on
TARD(IS) - time machine

24, Phi _ PublicHouse on Island

27 Retard (Re/on+Tardis, with is being removed,ignored,)

PHI is a Greek character: PH(public house) + I(island)

on: re; Tard(is)

Not a great reader of OS maps!

Cheers for the parsing, Chrise, Jazz Girl and Malone
