    OK, you have four of the words, four of the letters. Here is the Fifth Clue, so the Anagram should be quite swift in coming, but lets see how quickly the connection comes. "Affected effeminacy? A refusal to note down unknown pealing!" (11) OK, go for it boys and girls! :)

          The rules say that no one can give the solution before the complition of all the anagram so it started today after the CCC was solved and I'm the first one who gave the solution

            Thank you. It is just to ensure that it was the wet thing between your ears that got it and not a google search or wordfinder! Anyway, well done to you.

            Cheers Dave. The definition is from Chambers big red book of words - I still don't trust this interweb when it comes to matters of importance!

                  I don't recall such a rule - however, I do remember Dave asking each day this week whether anyone had solved the anagram yet. Aside from that, you've only guessed at the anagram and you haven't provided any reasoning. Nil points.

                  It definitely isn't definatley

                            I changed Peeler to Pealing within 10 seconds of posting, as soon as I saw it! You must have quick off the mark!

                            I did wonder if there was a police connection when I saw it but pealing makes more sense. :)

                                  Is it to do with distribution? Radiators distribute heat, Pennies (currency) are distributed / circulated Campanology is about harmonies of different bells (?) A mezzanine floor is half way between floors Alphabet is distributed over words / language? Ok, a couple of those might be just a little bit tenuous!!!

                                  It definitely isn't definatley

                                          I apologise, memories of yesterday are fuzzy, induced no doubt by the inordinate amount of alcohol consumed last night! Thriving on Aspirin and Coke today! (Cola, not the Colombian stuff!)
