I seem to remember that, years ago, "Will Bellenger" cropped up from time to time.

It did indeed, Brian, and 'our Bill'... Oops, silly me, I've gone and spilled the beans...
Now that I've ruined the mystery (but saved people having to work out the anagram), I can add that Bill (Greenwell) had no part in the 'Will Bellenger' thing. Here's a quote from his foreword in the truly marvellous 'An Owl in a Sack Troubles No Man' book of
New Statesman winning entries (from
way back):
Pseudonymity is admittedly rife. Some achieve soubriquets, others have them thrust upon them (one Friday I awoke to find that my name had been scrambled into Will Bellenger; on another occasion, I'd been redesignated Lew Bellringle.)
