Many thanks to Sandy-Wroe, Zabadak and JMR27 for your brilliant answers.

I'm wondering if the answer to no. 43 'An area of London' might possibly be 'Mayfair' as in Mayfair cigarettes?

Still can't work out no 31, this one seems really tough!

[Zabadak]

There are simply too many answers to 43: Mayfair would be OK, but so would Strand and even Old Holborn, which was my grandfather's tobacco of choice. Cook and Brown also have way too many variables, and I would argue that "Singer" is at least as good an answer as any: Mel B, Scary Spice would be a good Ms Brown, and James and Joe Brown can do duty as the Mr. Actually, I think that may even be the right answer!

Hi Zabadak- I don't get your James/Joe Brown answer- the Mr referred to is Mr Cook not Mr Brown.... or are you talking about another question?

[Zabadak]

Sorry, yes, you're right - I must be getting tired. That's twice I've embarrassed myself today on your question!. There are some singer Cooks - David is one, there may be others, and I quite like Singer as a very famous brand answer. But as I said, the possibilities are rather wide.

Thanks for your thoughts on no. 43, Zabadak and factor 30 - I hadn't considered the other ciggy brands.

I have Singer as the answer to no. 3 - a sewing machine for Elton John or Shirley Bassey, so I don't think it can be the answer to no.31. Unless of course I've got that one wrong! Like you, I can think of plenty of Ms Browns and Mr Cooks but not both together in occupation that could also be a brand name!
