sorry for my slowness. Working backwards from lettuce I find that Gounod's Marche pontificale is also called Marche romaine.

[Lateralthinking1]

[mercia]

Three lettuces. You did very well indeed. Have M.

brilliant original question it may be a while before M appears, but I don't think people are waiting on baited breath

Sorry, but Boston lettuce is not a term used in the UK? It's what we call a Butterhead lettuce I think?

[Lateralthinking1]

But surely, Anna, UK lettuces would be an answer to a "U" question.

C'est le dernier qui a parle qui a raison.

Outstanding puzzle, Lat, despite the protests of our resident salad head that Boston lettuce is known as Butterhead lettuce over here

In NW2, lettuce is lettuce and that's that

[Lateralthinking1]

Thank you am. Very kind. I am sure mercia's M will be a little gem of a question.
