    (This one might be a bit of a leap, sorry! If it proves too far I've a bit more to add to the clue.)

    OK, that was fairly obscure, small addition below that will hopefully make it more gettable.

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too obscure, Stann!!! Are there really that many people rejoicing in the name Noddy in that part of England? I thought there was only Noddy Holder!! You certainly Slade us with that clue.

    Can't think of a new clue off-hand, and after that dreadful pun ... I'll get me coat.

    No, that was the point, once the chap with the big-eared mate was ruled out, then there surely was only one Noddy the clue could be referring to (apart from our beloved former Pres, maybe, at a pinch). With that in mind then, 'dark land' or 'dirty land' to 'black country' wasn't that much of a stretch. That was the theory anyway!

    Foursquare? Being a sports website, I thought this game would have a more allrounder appeal on here. (7)
