House of Lords could be Peer - .?????? Pier

Still thinking about Metal Plater

[dotty.]

possibly castle something? Though do Lords live in a castle? Manor doesn't fit

[rich4maz]

cromer pier ... i only live few miles away.

[Maydup]

Cromer Pier - 20 miles from me!!

[Maydup]

lol - got there between us

[rich4maz]

[Maydup]

I'm in Broadland but I've worked on Cromer Pier in my time!

[Maydup]

Stuck on the other one. This is my best effort

??ROW CROSS

[seadogg]

to treat an argument with contempt could be to brook it. Could Brook figure in the answer as in Brook Green or Bechers Brook. Just a longshot!

[rich4maz]
