Actually, I must confess, I was actually searching for tractors, and came across drain cleaning by accident.

You are not a member of the house of commons are you?

It appears that bullying staff and lying to Parliament and the public are acceptable behaviours whereas viewing porn is not, though this took some deliberation.

One of my pet hates is the misunderstanding of the "bad apple", A bad apple in a barrel of apples gives off gases that cause all the apples to become bad. The analogy means exactly the opposite of what people think when they use it.but said there were some "bad apples" who had to face consequences.

A quiz clue that has stumped Jean and myself.
The answer is a town, city or country anywhere in the world, real or fictional. 4 letters.
"51 follows graduate"
I did try to see the significance of "51", the nearest I came was it's the international dialling code for Peru.

51 = LI in Latin
Graduate = BA
51 follows graduate = BA LI

Thanks Jack (Nick), I don't think either of us would ever have got that.

'MA' is short for Graduate.
So the answer is LIMA i.e. capital city of PERU
Just noted the 51 follows the graduate so I need to go back to school.

That would make it MALI, which is a coumtry.
So, two contenders.

BA and MA are both degrees, but as I understand things one has to have a BA to take the MA course. So percentage wise BA would be more common ?

I would say it depends on how you want to consider "follows" in the question. It could be follows graduate as in post- grad so MA would be more likely.

Nah. The "follows" is for the "51", IE it's after the ba/ma. Standard crossword syntax.
