This one is specifically designed to give Prop a headache, as he has been breezing through too many of my puzzles lately. If he gets this first try, I shall give up!

Just to add, and I believe the clue Chengdufan picked up on, was the intro to Little Fluffy Clouds by The Orb.

What I mean is, I thought of this one a while back but I thought it was probably too obscure. However, after seeing the short work you made of Tired Out etc, I think you might have a chance without needing any clues.

It is not Dominic, although that was definitely a fair guess.

Another good guess, but not correct.

I’m thinking along the lines of ‘your’ being a homophone. So there’s ‘yaw’, which is the lateral twist of a plane or car. Then there’s Ur, as in the Audi Ur Quattro, commonly mispronounced ‘U R’, but it’s pronounced ‘your’ and is German for ‘original’.
The first chocolate bar was made by Fry and Son of Bristol in 1847. So, the most obvious Bristolian is Judd Trump?

I wasn't aware of that marketing campaign, but that would have made perfect sense.

Is it Ronnie?
Chocolate > bar > inn
Your inn > urine > Ronnie’s comments about Crawley Leisure centre smelling of urine.

Not Ronnie, but props for the ingenuity.

This would be a bit of a departure but it’s not “Wispa-ing” Ted Lowe...?

Of course, that could also point to Alex Higgins, who was once fined for relieving himself in a plant pot at a tournament.
