7ac I presume is staff of time, but could someone please explain what it has to do with bread?!

bread is sometimes known as the staff of LIFE if that's any good?

You haven't given the clue, but bread is the "staff of life". It reminds me of an old joke, which I had better not give here.

Thanks both and sorry for not giving the clue - wrong magazine!

I think you should share the "old joke" ChrisE.
Just give a censorship indication before hand.

Off to play tennis now, but should I look in later?

The vicar meets a parishioner, who is carrying a loaf of bread in one hand; the other is in his pocket.
"Ah" says the vicar "I see you have the staff of life in your hand. And what, pray, is in the other hand?"
"Er............it's a loaf of bread, vicar."

Thanks.
I'm sure I will fail miserably at tennis to night.
I'll be chuckling non stop!
