General: "KO for Nancy" = "KO" is a way of saying 'knock out' or, to put it another way, a big hit. A big hit for Nancy Sinatra was "These Boots are Made for Walking". This place is Wellington. The boys are also wearing wellingtons. The train is number 70014 - The Iron Duke - or Duke of Wellington. The plant is Ladies Slipper - the only plant I could find that referred to footwear. The whistle simply illustrates a reference in the text to hearing a steam whistle. The iron is again an illustration for the Iron Duke and the knitting wood and scarf refer to the fact that Wellington was a major wool town. The bats are there just because they are there but the fox refers to a family called Fox who paternally ran the town's main business. One of the houses in the town used to be the Squirrel Pub.								Key: The roman numeral here is XVII (17). The time is shown on the front of the train and is 3 o'clock (the newspaper here is the morning one). The 3rd word on the page is "at" which should be put into position 17 in the "key" message.

However, the bird we are looking for here is a goose (a tailor's flat iron is known as a goose). Another meaning of the word 'lovely' is 'fair' to fly to the Goose Fair at NOTTINGHAM
