One more go, although it is using the answers already given by Oaksey......
This was synonymous with Paul. Paul Bodin, 3 This was implemented v the Turks. Floodlights against Fenerbahce, 1953 This was presented then but wasn't a retirement. More like a Golden Hello. Rolex clock presented to Town on promotion to 2nd Division in 63
The sum of their lexicon is trente. 3+1+9+5+3+6+3=30 Find the prime to this. A prime number of 30 is 3
You have your reasonings. You have your link. You have your answer. 3

EB.
Tbh mate, I didn't realise the answers actually add up to 30 as well! It was a little more simple than that. Although "lexicon" was the key here.
The 30 came from the direct sum of;
Paul Bodin = 9 Rolex Clock = 10 Floodlights = 11 SUM of Lex = 30
The rest is correct and since you proved your answers (and workings) well you can claim the win? It's up to you if you wish to give it to Oaksey. As they were essentially right but got missed the number with Bodin.
The composite and prime bit was a side clue to help others find the answer. You managed to link them all and bring it all back to 3.
So what links Paul Bodin, Rolex Clock & Floodlights? The number 3.

Oaksey actually got the answers so it's only fair that he is declared the winner.......

Not exactly a standard type question - much too convoluted.

Not really. It was "easier" than the previous question RE: Murray, Doughty & Thompson. The extra bit (the composite and prime) was just a clue to get you closer to the answer. Since the "three" were already there, the info was staring you in the face. 30 letters (composite), 3 the prime. It was tedious granted but had I put a clue like "It's the magic number" then it'd have been too easy and I'm too much of a cunt to be doing that 😉 Go grab a cold beer Aud, bask in the Greek sun and make me jealous

No not my wanky quiz starting up again (yet) but as mentioned on another thread, I'm auctioning one of my photographic prints with all proceeds going to SARI Charity (Stand Against Racism & Inequality). SARI main mission statement is to provide support and education in diversity and ethnic awareness. The print is a 10x8 of my “Walls of Change” image, shot in the backstreets of Sacromonté in Granada. You don't have to particularly like the image up for grabs because the bigger picture here is to comtinually raise awareness and drive home the message that racism is not accepted today and in our future. A lot of us on here are White British men who will never have had to experience racial hatred. A lot of people talk. I like to talk (shock). But many don't follow their words with actions. Today I'm asking you, along with myself to make a small step towards change. Even if we all only make small steps, they can in turn become one large one. Won't have time for trolls, won't hear any excuses "if", "but what about...", "I'm not..." in some bizarre defence of racism. There is no excuse and it should not exist.

No faux outrage here. Like I say. No time for trolls. Either bid or don't.

No faux outrage here. It's an auction of one of my photography prints. Of which all the proceeds will go to SARI.
