Could its abbreviation be SN? Seems unlikely. (If you are right, you could be disqualified for insider trading?)Originally posted by Anna View PostComment

Where's Ofca when you want him? Dozed off in front of the telly, I'll be bound. Or he's slipped up on some spent lubricating grease and is out for the count?

International codes say Singapore is SG though. Nearly bedtime I think, let you guys sort it out! All will be clear in the morning.Comment

but it's SG - although I'd swear I saw an SN somewhere but can't find it again. Was S. N. perhaps adopted and his original name started with a G????? (clutching at straw!!!)Originally posted by Don Petter View PostYou just beat me to it - sounds likely to me.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good theory.Originally posted by Anna View Post
Actually, it depends on which abbreviations Ofca was working with. I see that the URL abbreviation for Singapore is indeed 'sn'.
Cancel that - I couldn't read my google correctly. It is getting late, as Anna said.Comment

Just finished watching Kenneth Branagh's 'Wallander'.
NB (New Brunswick) + SN (Singapore) + PS (Postscript) + ML(Mali) become Norbert Brainin, Siegfried Nissel, Peter Schidlof and Martin Lovett = The Amadeus Quartet. After your splendid collective effort, I suggest that, as Pianorak got Singapore, he (or she) set a 'B' question, although Anna also played a major part.Comment

Ofcachap - Since Anna also got Mali, I suggest that in all fairness Anna deserves to be the winner.Originally posted by OFCACHAP View Post
Anyway, I'm new to this cryptic lark and need a bit more practice. Hope that's ok. - Pianorak (still a he)

That's fine with me - how about it, Anna? Crypticity isn't essential - in fact, I think there's sometimes too much of it around. A fairly straightforward question of the type described in Message #1 would be fine - you can always become more cunning and devious with the passage of time.
I'm particularly pleased that more people than usual attempted my 'A' question.

Ofca - While we await Anna's appearance could you please explain the link between SN and Singapore. (Told you I'm new to this and need more practice).My life, each morning when I dress, is four and twenty hours less. (J Richardson)Comment

Oh, thanks very much guys, I feel very honoured but not sure if I'm up to setting anything cryptic! So can only come up with this rather simple one. Which you'll instantly get.
Which B wrote an orchestral suite named for his tutor B, acquired another B and composed a double B work.Comment
