F &T or T & F

[Quizmistress]

The answers to the following are all two words beginning with F & T or T & F:-

a) Great Italian lawn tennis venue

b) He loaded this - and got older (song)

c) 1890's Scottish Golfer

Any help will be much appreciated

[davidicus]

c...Findlay (Alexander)

[gen2]

I think the compiler has this one wrong:
   b) He loaded this - and got older (song)

You may remember this well known song from years ago but it is definitely Sixteen Tons in the song but would have to be 14 Tons to fit the letters F & T.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

[gen2]

Quizmistress  Are you sure you have the right letters as being F & T?  I have just seen that davidicus has given an answer that is S & F as well (Sandy Findlay) and not T & F.

Sorry to have to get you to reiterate something, Quizmistress but these answers have two words with the first beginning with F or T and the second also beginning with F or T? I ask because 1) as gen2 says that makes SIXTEEN tons wrong 2) It also makes Alexander Finlay wrong and 3) (and this is the one I have been looking at) it also makes the main Italian tennis venue wrong - FORO ITALICO.

something amiss somewhere.

[gen2]

I have just realised that it is the person who wrote/sang the song rather than what he loaded.

the answer is TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD

Sorry Quizmistress - seems compiler was correct after all - I'm no help I'm afraid.

[Quizmistress]

Yes all the answers are two words either F & T or

T & F.

Many thanks for Tenessee Ford

[Quizmistress]

Further to b) thanks to your help I've cracked it!

I thought there was a typo in the question which actually read:-

He loaded this -1and got older (song)

So the answer is sixteen tonsminus 1 = Fifteen Tons

Sorry about any confusion
