Pot luck
VAT 69 suggested above by BlackadderV
I mean Blackfriars station, not bridge
Question Author
Supine courtesan....Grande Horizontale
Still missing;;Trains..Huffs and puffs for lost cause..(3,8)
:: London..Giant's causeway in the East End?..(7,6)
:: A phew Frases..Unintended consequence of unsavoury preacher(7,5)
I'm going to go for Black Cabbies,but like you I think it's odd!!
VAT 69 fits but it's not Irish,so I'm still undecided on that.
.. In the novel Kitty Foyle by Christopher Morley, the heroine's father refers to his bottle of Vat 69 as "the Pope's telephone number."

RE-Hibernia connection: Hibernian FC is a Scottish club.
London..Giant's causeway in the East End - Fingal Street, if it was 6,6 ?
Question Author
Sounds good but .Giants causeway is ..7.6 any other thoughts?
Wapping Bridge for Giants causeway

Any luck with "Unintended consequence of unsavoury preacher?"
There is also Cycclops wharf, but would only work in the plural, which doesn't seem to be common usage. No wapping bridge in East London unfortunately.
How are you getting on, Megfiz? How about Sir Lancelot for 'huffs and puffs for lost cause'?
Question Author
That sounds good , any ideas for "unintended consequence"?
what heading does it come under please ?
Unintended consequence of unsavory preacher. Should be a well known phrase (7,5)
Question Author
Headed ::A Phew Frases
Unintended consequence of unsavoury preacher...(7,5)
that's the full clue,so it's a phrase in common useage but no-one can solve it,
I've thought of sweets or similar but this has me foxed.!! Any ideas gratefully received Thanks.
