Yep, well done Fred!

Sorry, when I put the clue back up again I missed the degree bit off didn't I?!

Is bad = Si
degree = ba
yes = ya

Is bad = Si
degree = ba
yes = ya

And there was I thinking f or c - Fahrenheit or Centigrade - ah well.

Crap result for Engerland tonight.

Five = V
Put on = gain, goes around v to make Gavin
Layers = Hens

Correct.

Easy wasn't it.

Clint (Eastwood) Dempsey = one half of the classic TV show Dempsey and Makepeace.
