Have you got 45 yet, snakie81?
The clue given was "Mild or bitter large area". Please can you confirm that was the exact clue, including punctuation.
If there was word missing at the end it could be Aleisha Dixon/Alicia Keys (Ale + Asia).
If the 'mild or bitter' refers to beer, the best I can come up with are almost certainly wrong as they are so contrived but they may trigger some ideas for others. If large is L and the large area is Preston we have Beer L Preston (Billy Preston), or if the are is ocean we have Beer L Ocean ("baby, love really hurts without you")!
Of course 'mild or bitter' may not refer to Ales, Booze, Beer, Pint, Tetleys- it may refer to flavour/taste generally.
