How odd that that's the clue being questioned. That was one of the few that I've ever got without help on this thread, one of the few that's not stuffed to the rafters with obscure football or music references.

I asked Laura K to fact check the most recent series of clues in the chain, as follows:
1 Madeleine McCann's team never to go down? (7)
2 Counterfeited Romanian currency in the north-east? Cake brings back memories (9)
3 Dog - chihuahua Höek - played Lt Green for Argentine Pesos? (8)
4 Eat pie, get Rosanne Cash in South America (9.4)
5 Suffering acne (rash) son" - sang Seeing's Believing (7,4)
6 Genesis- Revelation: proof's in the pudding (7,9)
7 Siegen's the start of something biblical by Phil Collins (7)
8 Some Bourgeoisie generally found in Nordrhein Westfalen (6)
9 They crush the proletarians, confusingly, or 'bugs', e, i, e, i, o! (11)
10 Re: Alain Prost "Racing is for the workers" (12)
11 German or French toast for F1 champ? (5)
12 Fried bread? Salut! (6,5)
13 Gone off red brie is in fashion for breakfast (5,5)
14 Oafish Johnson's behind beaten in rage (7)
15 Coarse angling around a bream, perhaps! (6)
16 Bad Company behind (6)
17 Freeloading rockers copy Man (3,7)
18 Pilot of glider plane out of place attending junket (11)
19 Flying skater? (6)
20 Fellows Park a supermarket site at last? Looks fishy (5)
SBH and UA have a point and the above is a small sample, although Ms Cash and Messrs Genesis, Bad Company, Prost and even Walsall FC on a football fan site might quibble at "obscure" even by comparison with Proust. Pretentious, moi?
