[theboytippex]

What do you guys think?

1. Lots of surging waves on the Shore - I hear
2. 1960's Steve Winwood rock band
3. East London football team, not together and missing their direction -I hear

1.TIDINGS
2. BLIND FAITH
3. HAM

2 is Traffic I think

[theboytippex]

Can't understand the Christmas link with traffic factor 30, can you enlighten this poor soul?

[ladyalex]

But why is 2 Traffic ?

I like Tidings and Ham.

[factor-fiction]

It seems no less an obscure connection than Blind Faith or Ham

[ladyalex]

Well, you eat Ham at Christmas and there is a Christmas connection to Faith

[theboytippex]

You have Faith to beleive in the christmas traditions and a lot of people have Ham for dinner as opposed to turkey. Although I suppose people still drive at Christmas but does seem tenuous though!

I think he was also in cream with eric clapton for a short time, not sure though

[factor-fiction]

If the answer is Cream I think it's a mistake. He was in Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker who used to be in Cream I think I don't think Winwood was in Cream

[alexanderd]

factor 30 just looked it up he was not in cream, my apologies

[factor-fiction]

No problems alexanderd- our posts crossed. I too wondered if he had been in Cream for a period so like you i checked it out

I am beginning to wonder if the compiler is tinking of Wishbone Ash, which would of course be wrong but is certainly a good "Christmas" Answer??
