Ethanol?
No
No, and given the smell from the water at the Cantley plant I wouldn't want to drink anything liquid from there...

I miss that smell since they closed the Peterborough factory.
If opiates are "Closer than you'd imagine." perhaps the answer is tapioca.
Come sniff the air at Cantley then!
That's got further away again.

Amphetamine?

Barbiturate?
And there is the winner!
British Sugar grows a huge amount of medicinal marijuana at its site in Wissington near Kings Lynn, in greenhouses previously used to grow tomatoes. Largest single contribution to the UKs total export quantity, which is the largest in the world.

Which film did Len Deighton have his name removed from the credits of, something he later described as ‘stupid and infantile’?

Dr. No?
Gloster

No! Although Deighton was hired to work on the script of From Russia With Love, but was let go and little, if anything, of his work was used.

The Ipcress File?

No.
The film was not one in the genre that he is normally associated with, but was related to one of his other interests.

Cooking was a great interest of his but don’t know if a film was made.

I know the answer, having consulted Mr W Pedia to check. I did this to check whether what I thought was the answer was ... but it wasn't, although I now know what the correct one is. Will you allow me to give it, please?

Zulu?

No, the interest was not cooking.
I will give at bit longer as I have one or two clues.
No, but this is the right area (broadly) of interest.

Lawrence of Arabia?

No, but right conflict.

Oh! What a Lovely War?

Correct. Deighton had purchased the rights to make the film (possibly with others), was one of the producers and largely wrote the screenplay. He felt that others were taking too much credit and to shame them asked for his name to be removed.
To you to shout: Action.

I have a memory of reading somewhere of a device called a Nixie that is/was towed along behind ships to create decoy propellor sounds, or something like that?
