I liked both the homophones Rosalind @24 and Peterm @26
Despite it's length (60 characters) the excellent surface does it for me.

BBM2 @ 16

Thanks to everyone who contributed their time and inventiveness this week.
With 14 of a possible 16 votes cast, the tally is;

1 vote each for chiaro @5, stevea @8, FJ @15, dorrien @21, rossim @28
2 votes for peterm @26
3 votes for tatters @12
4 votes for BBM2 @16

With theambler and busby yet to vote, any one of three clues could be the winner.
I'll extend the voting until 9.30pm UK time while I walk the dogs – back soon.

.......and the winner is....BBM2 @16 with his wonderfully smooth acronym

Smlley, acting undercover, could eventually get leads to identify the mole (5)

Wikipedia tells me that mole is a generic word in Mexico for a sauce as well as the "mole poblano" which is more well known. This brings me to your prize;

Congrats marty and thanks mattrom.

Commiserations, tatters, but well done for voting for your main competitor!

(Thanks for the mention, marty. It took me back. When I used to teach Chemistry, we used to get our 2nd years - year 9 in new money? - to decode and the write messages using element symbols, to get them used to them.)
