I can't get Mountbattenburg out of my head.

If only there was a player called K Kazard.

It's not Doug, but Prop might be very close and may be overthinking it...

I'll try the pocket dynamo, Graeme Dott.

snake hiss -> Wee Graeme
Off -> he's the pocket dynamo, and the pockets are perhaps the most important things that are off the table.

No, I thought you might be on the right lines earlier on but maybe not.

Nobody right so far. It's a bit of a rubbish clue to be honest.

Nah, google Rhod Gilbert Battenberg :chuckle:


Oohhh, I see! <laugh>

Not Stephen Maguire. The clue is based on a use of the word Battenberg in a non-cake context.

Nobody right so far. Are you just guessing random players or are these based on something? If I knew how you were coming up with these names I could say if you're thinking along the right lines or not.

Re: 2 Word Clue

I never just guess randomly.

There is a company called Battenberg Software that produced a game called something like ‘The Wizards That Fell Down A Hole’. Falling down a hole might require an emergency response.

I know it was tenuous, but there are not many options for non-cake related Battenberg.

There is a use of the word Battenberg in the context of emergencies in general. Can't really say much more without giving it away!

Yes, of course!

Correct! Battenberg markings are the coloured markings used on emergency vehicles.

That wasn't a rubbish clue. It was perfectly logical. :hatoff:
