Hundreds go after tea wearing a cape

T K Max

[gingejbee]

If that is the name you want.....it's T.K. Maxx...

[Chris30703]

Thanks. I was thinking Thornton’s. Cape Horn, tons= hundreds after the letter t. How do you get t k maxx

[Fibonacci]

T (tea) + K (abbrev. of thousand - 10 hundreds) + Maxx (sounds like Mac - a cape)

[Spicerack]

Sounds like Macs. Should have said capes, imo.

[Mamyalynne]

Poor clue agreed.

Grand after a cuppa to the fullest, would be a better one.

[Prudie]

Personally I prefer your Thorntons answer

[Spicerack]

^ It is rather good.

[bhg481]

I think Thorntons is better - I don't like cape being a mac.

[Mamyalynne]

Thorntons works better for the clue given, agree there.

[Chris30703]

Thanks again. I have another “listen up. There is a joint behind a Norfolk town”

[Chris30703]

Thanks Mamyalynne . Sounds good to me what’s the listen up about please

[Mamyalynne]

"sounds like"

[Jackdaw33]

I like Thornton's. Tons (hundreds) after Thorn (an old-fashioned version of the letter T).

[Spicerack]

i'd have said Cape Horn came into it, JD.

[Jackdaw33]

I agree. Different parsings but all valid.

[jno]

thorn was TH (or one of them) rather than T

[Jackdaw33]

You are quite correct. Only exists now as far as I know in Icelandic. It used to be written in English with a superscript y and a lower script e meaning the, which is why you see Ye olde in pretentious establishments.

[jno]

there were separate letters for voiced TH and unvoiced TH. They were called Eth and Ron.
