I think I know what the answer is to this, but I cannot for the life of me see why, so I think it's best to assume I'm wrong

You're probably right (but not in assuming you're wrong).
It's a slightly naughty anagram. Convoluted clue to easy solution is acceptable, no?

No, I was wrong. (And at the same time right in assuming that I was wrong)

Where did the "s" in your (extended?) Frasier anagram come from btw?

Until the S you gave in the middle I thought it was Seattle. Classic example of overthinking

Don't tell the North London boys, or they'll be back to give me some deserved stick
Edit: where did SEATTLE come from?

I had "Frasier" almost from the start, but thought that "too obvious".
So then I too, went for "Seattle", and tried to work it back to the clue.
So it's nice to know I wasn't the only one overthinking it!

Thank goodness for "Wikipedia is your friend" for deciphering that one for me.
(Is that soubriquet well known in the USA, people?)
Anyhoo.
