Sorry . . .that should obviously read The Anus matter

Is Anus the name of the setter and therefore “me” perhaps?

He /she is. . .and that is as far as I can go with it.
Can't be anything else really?

Thank you

15ac. Nick, like John, Paul, George or Ringpiece? (6) S?O?S? If the answer is SCOUSE I can't parse it.

Getting ready for a "Doh!" moment 😊

Still mystified bump.

I think it’s just a play on the double meaning of nick. First as a name, as in the clue surface, and second as slang for nickname, of which scouse is one for a Liverpudlian, as in the others named. No more than that

Many thanks quisling. I didn't know 'nick' could be an informal short form of 'nickname'.

From the Urban Dictionary " Scoused it - stole something/did something good" so to scouse is to nick
