Sean - I hope I didn't sound critical. Really wasn't my intention. Honestly the Perry bit comes across as a bit of a red herring to my mind and it threw me (but also I didn't pick up the search engine reference which presumably would have made me more confident of the answer). One of the things I like about this thread is the different styles of cluing that different posters use

Of course, the last letters which i didin't get, even though I'd just used the same technique in the last clue I set.

it is very interesting to see the range of styles, and to learn from them. I do think we probably have too many anagrams -I'm guilty of this as much has anyone, because it always means some kind of a clue is possible. I read somewhere that one of the nationals limits how many anagrams it allows per puzzle and I can see why.

I've had the answer a while but I've not managed to come up with a clue during the few occasions I've had chance to stare idly at a scrap of paper whilst on hold today.
