Liking the nut.

Is Margaret now spoiled for choice?

I thought Wendy's idea was a good one.

How does this setters mind work?

take care p@

I thought I'd made the connection for whistle clear - I should think it must be nut souffle - better than fingers.

Please don't take offence.

It was just a suggestion.

Besides I don't think of a soufflé, as either a bread or a cake.

I am getting involved in this again.
I think souffle means to blow and to whistle is siffler

I have googled it, and it gives souffler as to whistle. I also remember siffler from school french, but souffler seems to be an alternative.

Well I always thought Siffler is to whistle too

I think that what we are looking for is a nickname for a union informer(whistleblower)that is also a name for a cake or bread,n'est pas?

A whistleblower could be someone who splits!

OK how about this?
in rugby union a TURNOVER results in the whistle being blown
