The exact parsing I am sure you already know. My comment was an extra seeing the dry humour of the setter.

Could someone tell me what's wrong with enamour an 'ammer? It seems like a perfect homophone to this cockney.

Yes, please, elle. I can’t parse the second word. On the whole, quite easy this week, I thought.

It does work if spoken quickly. A sense of humour is often needed when tackling homophones. I try to see the fun side of things.

Thanks cerasus. I’ve got the word but can’t parse it. And can see why anyone called that would be well p’d off.
