This was the OP's update if you can dignify this drivel with the word update.

Hello hello, so I have good news and bad news.
The good news is you don't have to wait until Thursday - I have as much of an update as I'm going to be able to give now.
Basically, after Mumsnet Madness tweeted the thread and one of my friends (who has also been infuriated by this for ages) screen-shotted it to me I realized the Boswell friend may well find out about it, so I text her and confessed about the existence of this thread.
We spoke about it over text - she was v amused and said 'this is better than Uncle X translating it into Latin/Greek and back' - anyway, THEN, as a DIRECT RESULT of this thread.....I GOT IT.
The BAD news is.....I really can't tell you the answer. BUT as I genuinely do feel bad about this I will tell you that none of the theories in the long post towards the top of this thread listing the various theories is correct. However, one or two people in the thread HAVE got it. I'm not sure whether Derek is one of them and I can't message to find out as one of us would clearly have to show our hand to find out if the other one has got it. PLUS I imagine Derek will think this is an elaborate ruse for me to get them to tell me the answer.
I AM TRULY SORRY. But please do remember this has been plaguing me for over 20 years before you throw stones at me.
Forever gratefully yours,
