Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

I'm sure in less politically-correct times some people would've called this person 'sugar', but it's not the Alan variety.

So, by my reckoning, this is where we're up to... could be a long Saturday night ahead. So one more clue to keep you going. It wasn't just men that liked poking the rubber buttons.

Is no.1 from an issue of Sinclair User?

It's from a Sinclair-related magazine, yes, but right now I can't remember which one.

Update: Not Sinclair User. A multi-format magazine, in fact. But probably a stock press shot used by various other mags.

I came later to this thread, but I think is brilliant!

(I couldn't guess anyone, by the way!)

Right... let's do this. It's clue time!

This is where we're at:

1.
2. Sir Clive Combover
3.
4. Hannah Smith
5. Jonathan ‘Joffa’ Smith
6. Matthew Smith
7.
8. Raffaele Cecco
9.
10. Stuart Campbell
11. T’zer Maughan
12.

And here are you clues for the missing mops:

1. This guy had (and possibly still has) a great imagination.
3. This fellow’s direction was all at sea.
7. This chap’s favourite outfit is a twinset.
9. This is as easy as taking sweeties from a birdie.
12. Design Design.

1 is Bruce Everiss.

I'm learning here, if see a bald person they might once have had hair.
