Reference is to 'the placebo effect'.
Position = place; front = bow (without the w - beginning to wear)

There's the "Placebo Effect" in medical trials.


PLACE = position and BOW = front


Now remove W = Beginning of WEAR

And "Good Morning, Quizmonkey"!
So glad we agree!

Many thanks for that. Being a nautical man, I should have got that.

This was also just about the last one I managed to work out, though it seemed a bit easier this week - or perhaps I just hit it a the right beer level...!
