Hi,mallyh, I should have explained how I thought of elephant-you've got it-the Elephant and Castle in London.

[Frank97]

Tail end of - Rattle(r) - toy, was my thinking.

[mallyh]

[mallyh]

5 ba + be in favour of was my reasoning

[quinie]

mathsteacher, bull is a military word meaning to polish (boots) to a high shine.Probably wrong answer here.

[TheWinner]

Bull for polish is like to Bull your boots (forces term to polish your boots till they shine).
