Darn. Can't you see how hard I've been at it to get flayed ( with salt ) in style ! :-)

Ah, dear Great Great Uncle Francis, lovely man. As for me I'm just a goody two shoes, I know which side my Croissant is buttered :-) Talking of which I hope to continue the family tradition one day under the reign of QAII by being appointed English Ambassador to France. I'll ban all imports of snails and frog legs, rename the English Channel the British Sea, and request them to stick to red wine 'cos they can't make any decent white stuff.
And oh yes, I'll ban all cheese with holes in it. Do they think we are daft? I'm not paying so much a pound for 25% fresh air! Air is free I tell you, oh yes it is!*
But I think we need a few letters given in place as a reasonable clew don't you?
* Not at my local garage it's 50p, but that lot definitely look continental to me.
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Okay, I counted them more methodically. Annie has a total of 13 letters correct.
The positions of Annie's correct letters are 1, 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, and 20.
I know this still isn't tremendously helpful, but I will remind you that she has position 1 right four times. She also has position 3 right three times.
Why do I keep saying Annie has all these letters right? Because no one else has made a guess. However, upon review I am reminded that Chris asked a question and I answered it. That answer contradicts a comment I made about Annie's guesses, but not really because none of her guesses made use of the question and answer. Anyway, if we include Chris's question, a total of 14 letters have been placed correctly.
[EDIT]
Oh poop. I meant to quote myself, but instead I just edited OUT all the previous clues I posted this morning. And I don't have time to reconstruct the post at the moment. I'll try later.

Well, I really don't remember what I posted that might be useful and isn't still there. I do know I responded to Chris's comment about cheese with holes.
What remains is more helpful than anything that's missing. Work with it.

Just a friendly note from your current jumbler: I'm taking a three-day weekend and may not be around much (or at all) to give further comments on guesses, hints, etc. Basically, you have about four hours from now.

I have narrowed down the first letter to two possibilities.
I will also say that scattered among her 15 guesses, Annie has gotten each E and I correct at least once. She has not gotten the O and U correct at all.
Is anyone else going to step up (and then wait for me to come back and respond)?

I think we need Annies deduction powers here. Logic charts means that this would become a hangman variant. WE need a clue as to the meaning of the word. I'm off to Marlborough for the day, I'll pop in later.

And I will give a definition-type hint: the word is a good description of my little faux pas at the beginning when I said the scramble had one right and then changed it to two.
...sort of... *revolve eyes exorbitantly* I need to catch up on some threads, then shall return for another helping of brain melt...
:)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

In trying to fix that, everything went teeny weeny and by the time I got it all back to normal, I must have hit the backspace a few too many times and couldn't retrieve any of it.
It went something along the lines of:
_ _ E
_ _ _ _ _ I
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ N _ _ _ _ E D _ _ _ E I _ E
...and was about to have a P put at the beginning.
I also lost some new words :(

PteriduphoyleBeeriness - mutant vascular plant (descended from ferns) that within minutes of experiencing full sunshine, fall over, drunk. Licking their leaves is said to have a similar effect on the licker.
PeripheryNebulositides - cosmic particle that induces forgetfulness
PrudehibitionsSleepery – bedchambers devoid of all reflective surfaces and lighting. Can result in painful injuries and sometimes concussion.
Pseudoreprehensibility – fake naughtiness
PerditionEyePublishers – British producers of pro-governmental literature that when accidentally read on the way to the bin, invoke visions of hell in the unsuspecting victim
PerinephritisUbeYodels – kidney condition (first discovered in riverside inhabitants of the Ube) that causes incessant bouts of throaty warbling

Hehe I know people that have a rubbish bin directly underneath their letterbox that all the post falls directly into. Every so often they take out anything that looks important. Saves time on rubbish collection days.
My green box is 50% old newspapers (not the Mail) and 50% flyers from local Indian restaurants and pizza delivery places. A couple of years ago I collected 3 weeks worth of junk from one place of Far Eastern cuisine and posted them to the Manager with signed for on receipt. I then put stuff from my local political party through his door every day for a week. I then had a rather "colourful" conversation (I use the word here very carefully...) with the Manager over the counter and told him I would stop when he did.
Didn't get any more after that :-)
