Is it the Queen's Speech

No.

Is it that common expression: no news is a man on a boat with three portholes?

"News Anchorman" would vaguely fit if we ignore the Christmas angle!

Okay, for everyone who didn't get it, which is everyone except me: Paper Decorations.

That is why I went for the Queen's Speech

Paper decorations. Okay...we've got a paper...and a man in a boat with his arms spread wide... and an anchor...
Clear as mud.

Deck Orations?   (Yes, the anchor should have had a red herring attached.)

Oh, that's awful. Really contrived and why the plural?
Title: Re: Old Page of Christmas Puzzles
Post by: Mince on December 09, 2020, 10:03:04 PM
Perhaps the anchor is meant to be pronounced "Encore!", leading to multiple orations.
Title: Re: Old Page of Christmas Puzzles
Post by: Mince on December 09, 2020, 10:04:01 PM
Or maybe I got it wrong and it's meant to be Paper Decoration.
