What Ho!
I was just wondering, don't you know, if there was a limit to the number of clues one gets given when hunting for a villain? My own experience is that four clues can be too few to deduce where the blighter is lurking, but I have never received a fifth clue.
Is there a "Nimrod" out there who has stuck out the tedium long enough to get an elusive fifth clue?
It reminds me of the time that "Squiffy" Henderson went on Safari in the Galapogos Islands hunting for Giant Tortoises - spent three months on a rock waiting for one to go for a staked out lettuce - turned out he was sat on one all the time....(wanders off for a medicinal brandy at Pete's Bar, muttering)

Ah! Many thanks, Ladies.
I bimbled over to the thread suggested by the delectable Miss Parker, only to see me own fizzog staring back at me blankly - I blame the Mem Sahib for cooking the rhubarb in an aluminium pan myself....
(wanders off aimlessly muttering ....)
