The Sale of Chelsea ?????

Just a thought

[hc4361]

Have you got the answer? I've been puzzling over this all day

[Bommer_50]

No joy to date hc4361 - think it might be a song.
Thanks for the suggestion emeritus

[fiction-factory]

First word is probably The. The 7 could be Chelsea or the 5 could be Blues, but nothing springs to mind

[hc4361]

One pair of Chelsea boots?

[Bommer_50]

thanks for suggestion hc4361 - fits the letter count but haven't yet found a song/book etc. with that title.

[hc4361]

Does it have to be a song or book as well as a unit of measurement etc?

[Bommer_50]

No doesn't have to be, but being five words I thought it likely. Could be just a phrase.

[Trussell]

Could it refer to the battle?

[fiction-factory]

That must be the answer then. It was a measure related one rather than a song title

[hc4361]

Thank heavens for that!

Tostig is said to have asked, “and what will you offer Hardrada?”; Harold replied “Six feet of English earth or seven as he is so tall”.


:D
