Scarborough Fair

[Ruffec]

Many thanks

I wouldn't have got that. I assume it's scarf (capital/head band) around borough + air. I assume the "I have" was not part of the clue

[fiction-factory]

I don't get the second reference to band either so maybe my parsing is wrong

[dannyk13]

No it was the poster stating what letters he had

[dannyk13]

Scarf is the band going round district

[fiction-factory]

Yes I guessed a full stop had been omitted

[fiction-factory]

Yes, thanks- that's what I thought I was saying at 10:26 but I'm unsure about the second reference to band- is that part of the definition along with the song Scarborough Fair

[Captain2]

... should it say something like 'with tune and song' rather than 'band'?

(Apologies if I'm being daft - just woken up)

[dannyk13]

FF the second band should actually read ballad

[dannyk13]

Good morning Capt.Hope we didn't wake you.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks. Makes more sense with the exact clue. I don't have the crossword here to help me

[Captain2]

Ah ah - so my brain has woken up then (well as much as it can).

Good morning Danny - first lie-in for over a week; have been on 5 or 6am starts. :(
