[brokenwing]

Sorry Penelope2 Mind going haywire!

It's designed to pick up a little barley, say. EAR
Nutty George, not gouty, distressed son. REGENT , but not sure why gouty??

Have just got the answers myself

[cupid04]

Nutty George-gouty=regent

[brokenwing]

Thank you once more! Nice to have clever people online!

[shooty]

Nutty George minus gouty ( remove these letters) = ntgere (anag of ntgere = regent)

[Jaycee47]

Where does son fit in?

[shooty]

I have just asked a question on another thread. looks like the compiller didn;t get his leg over last night. son = regent (distressed means anag of remainding letters)

[cupid04]

What about the son bit, shooty?

[shooty]

Your guess is as good as mine.
maybe L-I-K or BB can enlighten us later when they pop on.

[bibblebub]

The son of George III - as in The Madness of King George and thus the 'nutty' epithet - became the effective ruler when he was given the title Prince Regent whilst his father was still alive but not mentally capable fulfilling his duties.

Many thanks. More Times than DM i would say.

No one seems to have explained EAR.
An ear is designed to pick up sound, and the seed-bearing spike of the barley plant is known as the ear.
