Nicknames

Whose nickname was 'The Master'. Thanks for any help

[cluelessJoe]

Certainly Noel Coward was known as The Master ...
any further clue in the question, i.e. in connection with what?

[gen2]

I would guess that cas42 is trying to get an answer to one of the Money Matters quiz questions

[cas42]

Thanks cluelessjoe for your help. There are no other clues. This is just a local general knowledge quiz and it does not give any idea as to how many letters the answers have.

it is bit loose this question.... im sure 'The Master' has been used many many times. The first thing that sprung to mind was the head vampire from 'Salem's lot'

[cluelessJoe]

In that case Cas, I'm fairly certain it will be Noel Coward you are looking for - I know the term has been applied to the odd sportsman / poker player / Dr Who villain, but Noel's nickname was widely known and widely used (even by a member of the Royal Family - Lord Mountbatten's tribute to Coward on one of his landmark birthdays)

[booknerd]

Not wishing to be repetitive, but I'd back Noel Coward as 'The Master', definitely.

definately Noel Coward, whilst watching the last coronation at a party overlooking the route, Queen Salote of Tonga was in the procession in an open topped landau, she was a very large lady and her son sat next to her, a small man, someone said who is the little man with her Noel, the Master went over to the window, studied them both and remarked probably her lunch.
