                    I though this one was fairly straightforward?

                        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?

                                            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!

                                                May I take this opportunity to say I liked the "Penniless" one?

                                                    Thank goodness for "Wikipedia is your friend" for deciphering that one for me.
