Many thanks JJ, but how does one arrive at 'CONTROL'?  What are we missing, apart from a drink?  TIA

Question Author

Yep, sorry.  Still don't get the answer though :(

The top spy in any spy organisation is known as 'Control'.

Control is a key on your keyboard and is also the spy-master! Double definition

Many thanks JJ & J - time for the bar to open me thinks :)

I had central as key could be central as in "The central issue is...". I had a vague recollection that in the John Le Carre books that there was a reference to Moscow Central meaning a top spy in Moscow but that was probably misremembering. Whatever I think that the clue could have been better.
