Sway is still having problems with Yuku so think it might be best if we just went on and then owe him one when he does get in. Over to you, Sandy.

I can't help feeling this answer is über-nerdish, but anyway:
"Adam Faith" is two syllables + one, all the others are one syllable + two. |

Bing was really a Harry. The other three were Terrys.

Northampton is the only one of these county towns to have its county named after it.
Brilliant, Focalist! What's your next question? Hmm. Do you think people are really interested? You'll never know unless you try, will you? Well, all right then. Which is the odd one out of tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, and pineapples? (And it's not a fruit/veg. difference.) |

You can't buy tinned bananas?

It wasn't the answer I was thinking of (of the four, only bananas were known in Europe before Columbus sailed the ocean blue) -- but as your solution is
quite right too... over to you, cg!

This is a bit lame, but -- apart from being born in a later decade than the other three -- Ann-Margret Olsson is the only one of the four not to have used her
family name professionally.

I shall investigate further! (Watson, do ask Mrs Hudson to brush off my deerstalker. We leave by tonight's Harwich boat train.)

Watson, telegraph the Great Eastern Railway Company at once and cancel the booking (what do you mean, it was a 2-for-1 Scandinavian Romance offer,
non-refundable? My dear fellow, that's three and a half sovereigns we shall never see again! Ring for toasted crumpets, cocaine, and a new lump of rosin
for my violin.)
I have just now obtained the information (in the strictest confidence) from members of the Olsson family whom I have discovered -- they had traces of gravlax on their apparel -- to be living but a stone's throw from Baker Street that fröken Ann-Margret, unlike those other kinematic players, has been married but once!
