      As Wyatt says. I referred Scarborough assuming simply that readers would be more likely to have heard of it. For all Filey's renown it's barely more than an outlying village?

        Near Scarborough would have been more accurate and fairer I reckon. I understand the need to use Scarborough as a reference point.

        I did a quick trawl of my memory and then wikipedia looking for things with 5 letters in Scarborough. Never occurred to me to look miles down the coast. (smiley thing)

          Although 'in Scarborough' is, strictly, 100% accurate?

          and fairer I reckon
          Maybe. I suppose I could have said 'in seaside town near Scarborough'; but while that might have helped you, don't forget that other readers may have a less encyclopedic knowledge of the East Riding. I'm guessing anyone who's heard of Filey would know it was near Scarborough. While if they hadn't heard of it, refer back through google, subsequent clues etc.

                  Where do Filey and cravings fit into Casey Jones (I'm being dim again today)?

                    File = case: so, punningly, filey = casey. And a craving is a "jones", in junkie-speak.

                      Nicely self-referential clue from Nef, there.

                            Thanks Wyatt. I'm afraid the only craving I associate with CJ's is the occasional late night drunken burger when catching the last train home from CX.

                                      Just realised what a hash I've made of that last clue. Hope this modification gets us back on track:

                                            Is there anything more to that last clue other than that "Bilbo" is a similar-looking word to "Bilbao"?

                                                  I've been in love with Basque football for as long as I can remember.

                                                  Alaves?

                                                  Well, certainly since that village team played Liverpool in the Europa a few years ago.
