I am indebted to Tombrandy,Shaun,and Katoninelive for your response.I am afraid I do not have the answer to this riddle. Apparently,it appeared in the "Old Codgers" section of the Daily Mirror some thirty odd years ago and has been resurrected by a friend of mine. Surely,somebody,somewhere must have the correct answer?? However,some of the clues are quite contradictory and just maybe some ancient Wag was laughing up his sleeve at the frustration he would cause!!! Sidley.
