Hope this is okay to post.
Basically I give you a cryptic clue and you have to guess where it is in the British Isles. Please feel free to add your own little gems.
Okay an easy one I think to start off with:
'This Mother will leave you petrified'
-
Oooo, a new game...great.
This is going puzzle me bit for as well as solving one clue, you've got to make up the next one.... :hmm:
Stuck on Yorkie's clue for the moment but will bend the massive TD bonse to the task and revert. ;D
-
I'll give you a little clue, there's a famous Spa Town not far away.
-
Still struggling at this end, heres one for you while your waiting.
Translated from Gaelic, the means " a beautiful green place" and it is a city.
-
Somewhere in Scotland then. :)
-
Close, very close... :D
-
Okay having trundled round the Highlands, Lowlands and Islands I think it might be Glasgow.
I learned some interesting facts about the water of life along the way.
-
:clap2:
Spot on............you're doing better then me.
I don't think the the answer can be either Blubberhouse or Kettlesing, but that's just the start.
Back to the grindstone.
-
Old Mother Shiptons Cave???Near spa town = Harrogate
-
Try This............I am famous for my pies and have a large transmitter mast near by.
-
Spot on.
I thought you might get it.
In case anybody wonders what I meant here is a link
http://tinyurl.com/8eh48d
Yes I am on commission from the tourist board. ;D
-
Didn't it use to be owned by Paul Daniels ?
-
Try This............I am famous for my pies and have a large transmitter mast near by.
Well Melton Mowbray fits that reasonably well, Waltham isn't far away...
-
'Waltham isn't far away'
Is that a pie or a transmitter. :D
Sorry been on the wine gums again.
-
:no: sorry HP,you'll need a different pie for your sauce. :D
-
Clue, don't forget your white rose when you come to visit
-
I don't know the answer ( yet :graduate:) but the mention of meat pies leads me to believe that Blue made up this question. :D
-
I don't know the answer ( yet :graduate:) but the mention of meat pies leads me to believe that Blue made up this question. :D
:D
Clue no2,UB's TV gets its signal from that transmitter.
-
I think I know this one, but have an unfair disadvantage really. So I shall remain quite for the moment. (now theres a first)
-
I don't even like pork pies... (but Stilton is wonderful)
How about Haslingden then?
-
Clue No3,a word in the title is also a quality crockery name. :graduate:
-
Does Royal Doulton own a transmitter ? :-\ ;D
-
I can't follow this at all :-[
-
I'm still getting over the shock that HP doesn't like pork pies.
I love pork pies especially with a little bit of mustard.
We are looking for a place in Yorkshire famous for its pies and near a TV transmitter, did that help.
-
I'm still getting over the shock that HP doesn't like pork pies.
Can't stand the things >:D
What's more I come from Leicestershire and my parents lived in Melton Mowbray (or nearby) for over 30 years!
-
My father came from Northants, Kettering actually and when we did our rare visits to my grandparents we always came home with a large MM Pie.
-
Wow that's amazing - you weren't the bloke that shouted at me for rubbing out his newly chalked sign by any chance. ;D
-
Just in case anybody thinks that Yorkie is talking to herself, I had posted to the effect that I had lived in Kettering for a while...............when I went to edit my post, I deleted it bt accident :(
So, no she has not gone insane... :D
-
Denby Dale
-
yay = well done Roseway
Hope UB doesn't mind me hijacking his thread.
Don't worry TD I've been talking to myself for years. ;D
-
Does that mean I get to start another one?
Clue: Home of birds which glow in the dark?
-
The way I see it, never argue with someone who has a hammer under their name. ;D
-
That's right Yorkie (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emotionless.co.uk%2Femotes%2Fv%2Fhammer.gif&hash=5057ed04523d5b965a4c646d50865d4613870f1b) ;D
-
Can we assume these are not real birds.
-
yay = well done Roseway
Hope UB doesn't mind me hijacking his thread.
Ah,at last :D
Denby Dale Pies,the transmitter is of course ........................Emley Moor.
http://www.denbydale.com/content/denby_dale_pie/
-
Can we assume these are not real birds.
No, they are real birds, but they don't really glow in the dark as far as I know. :)
-
Clue 2: Electricity comes into it.
-
Could they be radioactive.
-
You're going in the right direction Yorkie :)
-
Sellafield.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/55612.stm
Apparently they have huge freezers somewhere in the bowels full of frozen birds.
See informative as well as fun.
-
Good try, and meets the specification, but it's not the one I was thinking of.
Clue 3: RSPB
-
Dungeness. ?
Does TD get the Brownie points..... :dance:
OK my go..me, me
A narrow crossing for tuftedducks.
-
Dungeness. ?
Does TD get the Brownie points..... :dance:
Will this do.
(https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdl5.glitter-graphics.net%2Fpub%2F1503%2F1503425xmqnn6k42c.gif&hash=4bc21f84fe0d22e62d2446135d2648f171f5278c) (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)
-
>>>>>Narrow crossing for TD's<<<<<<<<<
Coldstream ????? :D
-
:no:
furfer sarff
-
TD got it - Dungeness it was (RSPB reserve right next door to the nuclear power station).
But I have to admit that Yorkie's answer was at least as good :)
>> A narrow crossing for tuftedducks
I have a thought hovering in the back of my mind, but it won't emerge at the moment.
-
Duckenfield............... :-X
-
Good try, unkyUb :lol:
An ill-fated trip to the antarctic might help.
-
Slimbridge?
http://www.wwt.org.uk/centre/122/slimbridge.html ideal for ducks of all varieties. 8)
-
:clap2:
HPsauce wins.
We need a clue from you, HP.
-
Nice one HP, I was way off the mark.
-
A mythical giant met his end here....
-
The Welsh are fond of mythical giants, is that the right direction?
-
No. England.
-
Would Cornwall be heading in the right direction.
-
This isn't 20 questions....... ;)
Depends where you're starting from I guess, if it's the Scilly isles then yes.
-
Slimbridge?
http://www.wwt.org.uk/centre/122/slimbridge.html ideal for ducks of all varieties. 8)
Less than 2 miles from here and I didn't get it - doh!
-
A mythical giant met his end here....
Cerne Abbas?
-
Not the place I was thinking of, but having just checked and read the related myth I can see why that might fit.
-
If it was a mythical giant worm, then the Lambton Worm would be it and the place would be Penshaw near Chester-le Street.
-
.... or Merbach Hill, Hereford & Worcestershire, where Arthur slew a giant.
-
It was the more traditional human-shaped giant.
Clue: There was a giant animal involved as well (NOT a dragon) that also met it's end at the same time and place.
-
Windover Hill
-
Uffington :hmm:
-
.... or Merbach Hill, Hereford & Worcestershire, where Arthur slew a giant.
Sorry, not that one, but here's another clue: This "ending" was more self-inflicted.
PS If you guess I'd like to see an appropriate explanation (like the Arthur one) that matches all the clues.
-
Tell you what - it seems England wasn't a healthy place for giants - was it? :no:
-
Mountsorrel in Leicestershire.
-
Yorkie, you're on the right track - but please explain....
-
The Giants name was Bell and he rode a sorrel horse, he decided to make three giant leaps the last one killing him.
-
The Giants name was Bell and he rode a sorrel horse, he decided to make three giant leaps the last one killing him.
Excellent research, how did you find that out? And Where the Heck Am I?
(PS his name was Bel and he started at Mountsorrel)
-
The Giants name was Bell and he rode a sorrel horse, he decided to make three giant leaps the last one killing him.
Just to fill in the detail:
Mountsorrel where, according to legend, a giant named Bel vowed to reach Leicester in three leaps, he mounted his sorrel stead in Mountsorrel, leaped as far as Wanlip (pronounced one leap) leaped again to Birstall, so called because the horse and saddle burst apon the impact .He just managed to leap a third time, but the horse and rider dropped dead a mile and a half short of Leicester and were buried in a place named Belgrave. So you are in Belgrave.
-
Ah the joys of a well stocked bookcase or two.
-
Still no winner to set the next challenge....
-
Still no winner to set the next challenge....
Not Belgrave?
-
Not Belgrave (that's the grave, obviously).
There are minor variations on the story so I guess you win for knowing it in detail.
According to the locals in Birstall that's where he (and Sorrel) died, attempting the 3rd leap.
(not that I'm actually there now, but I was for the first 18 years of my life!) :baby:
-
OK- where am I? Simians risk capital punishment.
-
Symians (Legostar Galactica etc.) or Simians (higher primates including apes and humans)?
-
ooops :-[
blame it on flu' induced dyslexia
Simians of course.
Just been out retrieving my 84 year old father-in-law. He got lost in the local Tesco store. Thank goodness we put a Paddington-type return label on his coat! :lol:
-
Hartlepool
Pleased to hear you got FIL back from lost property. ;D
-
.... Yes, correct. Apparently during the Napoleonic Wars, the good citizens of Hartlepool found a monkey that had been washed ashore from a wrecked ship. Not understanding its "language", they hung it as a French spy!
The baton is now in your hands Yorkie.
-
This Evangelist maybe feeling depressed
-
Simons Burrow ( Devon ) ?
-
Sorry no, bit further north, but you are thinking along the right lines.
-
How about Blue John Cavern in Derbyshire. ?
-
Sorry TD got waylaid, but you are spot on.
-
:graduate:......... :lol:
OK an easy one cos I'm in a good mood.
Drama at the home of a pointer.
-
The two most obvious places which come to mind for drama are the Old Vic and the Shakespeare theatre at Stratford-on-Avon. Am I even slightly warm?
-
A productive line of thought, a bit awry geographically.
Off to enjoy a good pasty now.
-
Was that a clue? Cornwall?
-
Ah, "By Tre..., Pol...., and Pen....
You will know the Cornishmen"
Yup, Cornwall............there that gives it away. ;D
-
Is it the Minack? Rowena Cade did a lot of construction work herself, including presumably some pointing? :-\
-
That's it Minack Theatre. :clap2:
It's at Mousehole in Cornwall...............................home of pointer......pointing device..... :-[
Well done.
-
As I didn't get it 100% (and have set one already) I'll donate the next question to Roseway who led us to Cornwall. :graduate:
-
Well done HP, had me totally stumped. Did you see the live web cam of the Theatre, a few hardy souls were out there braving it.
-
Just had a look, they're mostly moving fairly swiftly. :lol:
-
As HP was kind enough to donate his turn to me, I'll offer this one:
This seafront sounds like Santa
-
Somewhere on the coast then. :lol:
-
Good thinking, Yorkie............that narrows it down a bit :lol:
-
Nothing gets past you folk, does it? :)
-
Christmas Island (sorry) :-X
Another clue?
-
Clue 2 (too easy): Francis Drake
-
Surely it's not Plymouth Hoe (ho-ho) :D
-
Spot on TD. Your turn :)
-
:dance:
An easy one as some of the members heads may be a little fragile... ;D
Five lines over the water.
-
Might this be a bridge somewhere.
-
Nooooo, but I am sure there are bridges there ( that's not a clue, begorrah )
-
So it's in Ireland then...
-
Oh dear, it must be Limerick (groan) :-[
-
:clap2:
Come on, it wasn't that bad... :D
Who's next ?
-
Not me, I won't be around much for the next few days.
-
Must be Yorkie's turn then, unless there are any lurkers wanting to join in :)
-
My religion belies my resting place.
-
:hmm: :help:
-
Civil War
-
Are we at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle......?
-
No.
-
:(
Back to the drawing board..
-
Further north
-
This is my second burial place
-
Are we talking about Oliver Cromwell?
-
Are we at Leicester ?
Yorkie's clue was "civil war" not The Civil War..............could be Wars of the Roses :hmm:
-
Mr Roseway is nearly there.
-
Oliver was buried at Westminster Abbey............was he reintered, or do we need a brother-in arms ?
-
Indeed he was. Posthumous trial?
-
Newburgh Abbey.....
Well, I never knew that.............so I won't claim a win even if that is correct. :) (It was down to Google :blush: )
-
Yes, well done, it was a little vague, I was referring to him being a Puritan, of course its only speculation that he is there.
http://tinyurl.com/9ududh
-
That is really interesting, I thought he was dug up, hanged, beheaded :'( :'( and then interred at Tyburn ..... don't suppose it matters much now really !! :-\
-
Blue john mines, that takes me back to a school field trip yarns ago
-
An easy quickie to keep the pot boiling until a serious conyender comes along.
Snack for the Men of Kent.
-
I'm going to ignore that one. :lol:
(invented by an Earl)
-
Another one - a little easier I think
This porker promotes harmony
-
A wild guess..........are we at Ironbridge........................... :no: I hear you cry.....
-
No.
When I say porker its more the cuts from said animal
-
Chop Gate :D
-
Good guess, but no.
-
Could it be Backwell near Bristol ?? :D
-
No.
I'm a thing but connected to a place.
-
:hmm:
Baffled...................they make pork pies at Melton Mowbray but don't see the harmony thing...so it can't be there.
Is there a place called Bacon Butty............ :D
-
Bacon Butty, that sounds nice fancy one now.
This is an old fashioned term not used any more, except perhaps in essex.
-
There's an old-fashioned term 'lights' which means 'lungs'...
-
It may be old but it still happens every four years.
-
And it's tonight! :lol:
Or did you mean leap year?
-
And it's tonight! :o
No.
to both questions.
people come from far afield for this.
-
Olympic Games ?
Docklands ? :hmm:
-
It involves competing with other couples
-
Oh dear, we're not talking about that TV programme, are we? (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emotionless.co.uk%2Femotes%2Fa%2Flove24.gif&hash=fb6b40ddbcc56ba2dd33ecb7b5ccf0a53ac77b9d)
-
I did wonder if it was " Strictly Come Truffleing" :'(
-
Lets have a recap.
Its an old custom (mentioned in Chaucer)
Takes place in Essex once every four years, used to be annually.
Couples compete against each other to receive this reward although all could be winners.
It took place last year (2008)
-
Well, Yorkie, you have done it again..........taught me something. I had no idea that a flitch was a cut of bacon.
I reckon we are at Dunmow............at the flitch trial.
Howzzat ? ;D
That was a toughie.. :-[
-
Phew ! I hope you are right TD ..... well done if you are !
-
:clap: :clap: :clap2:
Well done TD you are spot on.
Obviously we have no Essex Lurkers, or any that will admit to it.
Yes it was a bit far from home for you.
-
Ooo ooo, do I get a shot now.............off to think up stinker...will be back. >:D
-
Ok, here we go.
French spirit broken at a wide crossing.............
-
Does this involve Rugby ?? You being a wee Scots laddie ;D (am I allowed to ask that ?? :-\ )
-
Of course you can ask :)....................mais, non. :(
-
Then it's a war !! :-\ I'm flummoxed really ;D
-
C'est la .. (le :hmm:) .guerre..............could be, could be ;)
-
Ha- Haaaa !!
oh well only 700 hundred years or so to look at !!!!!
(war is feminine .. wonder why :'( since it's usually the masculine species that causes it :-X :angel: )
-
Is it Waterloo Junction ?
-
Waterloo yes :thumbs: junction... :no:
Where did the King over the Water flee to ?.............It's misty there.
-
Waterloo,Isle of Skye ????
-
You've got it... :thumbs:
The town of Broadford ( remember that wide crossing ) on Skye has an attached hamlet of Waterloo...........where a lot of my paternal ancestors lie.
You're turn... ;D
-
Ooooooooooo I'm all excited now !!! :lol:
right ..... This UK Chateau could belong to Michael's brother, although misspelt. Seasonal entertainment.
-
St Michael's Mount. Marazion, nr Penzance, Cornwall?
-
No, sorry, further North ! Think of little Michael.
-
That'll be small Mick then. :lol:
-
:lol: :lol: nearly Yorkie !
-
Are we at Raby Castle, Northumberland ? :hmm:
-
No TD, but you're in the right area ..... think of the brothers ..... seasonal entertainment, (that could give you the name that could make it all clear ??? )
I can't decide if I'm being too cryptic or giving too much away :'(
-
TD is baffled..... :(
These brothers, are they monks by any chance..?
-
No TD .. in an effort to un-baffle (no such word!) you .... think of entertainers and seasonal as two separate clues ...(emphasis on seasonal )you should arrive at a name....then the missing brother should be evident .... then with the other original clues .....well you should arrive at the answer ...... :'( You are on the right track with your previous answer ....!!! :-X
Ooooo I didn't think I could be so cryptic !!! :-\
-
I think that the younger brother of Michael Weinstein was Bernard and they performed a comedy duo as Mike and Bernie Winters.
Bernard misspelt..................Are we at Barnard Castle...... :hmm:
-
YES you've got it !! :thumbs: :clap:
-
Woohooo
That was a crafty one, so many famous Michaels in the entertainment business.........good clue.
Will think up a puzzler and come back.
-
OK, an easy one as I can't think up anything better... :(
Spotted pachyderms at a musical politicians terrace.
-
Heathrow Airport?
-
Thought you said this was easy.
-
OK I'll set (another) easy one.
We hear bird on French sea - what a show!
-
Would this have anything to do with the Norfolk Broads
-
>>> We hear bird on French sea - what a show <<<
Cromer.
-
OK, an easy one as I can't think up anything better... :(
Spotted pachyderms at a musical politicians terrace.
I'm not sure if Floydy had the correct answer for this one ?? I'm still working on Elephants and Heaths :'(
-
Yes, tis Heathrow.
Musical politician was Edward Heath ( a very fine organist and a good conductor ) the terrace was the row and there you can spot Jumbos.
I'm going to be bigheaded and assume for the moment that Cromer is correct, and set the next clue.
Truncated ursine toy not out of the county............did Mr. Mullard sit here ?
-
Do you know I think it must be the shock of the snow .... I didn't connect HEATHrow with Heath :'( :-\ :-X ::)
-
TD ... Are we at the Statue of King Edward at Holyrood House, Edinburgh close to Arthur's seat ?
Edward .... truncated Teddy Bear (Ursine Toy) Ward part of a County ... Mullard ... Arthur ??
-
You are so close, but overly complex.
-
:'(
-
You've mentioned it already............simplify, and retitle "ward"
-
Holyrood Park ?? the more I think the more confused I get :lol:
-
You've got the ursine bit...............Ed
not out..........................................in
bit of county ward................?
-
::) ::) ::) Edinburgh
-
:thumbs: :clap2:
phew :D
-
phew exactly !!! ::)
Here's another one ... and then I MUST go and do something ............. ;D
This holy gland ? can be the beginning of a journey.
-
St. Pancras Station......... :)
-
You clever clogs you ! too easy for TD that one ..... :thumbs: :clap2:
-
:graduate:.............. :D
TD trundles off to think up stinker....
-
I'm going to be bigheaded and assume for the moment that Cromer is correct
Actually it was Cromer Pier, where they put on a fine show every summer... but I'll give you that one.
-
Ah, TD was not quite right...........but gets away with it. ;D
Ok here we go................easy.
Home to a scribe synonymous with his ancestry where a partial zombie may cross. B+
-
I'm glad that one's easy - I wouldn't get far if you asked a difficult one. :-[
-
Crikey TD ...this one is giving me a head ache !! ;D :'( Don't know if anyone else is having any joy :-\
-
Celt... ;)
-
Is it in Wales........Anglesey ????
-
Nooo, wee bitty further north... :)
-
Is the Arthurian legend anything to do with it ?
-
No, not Arthurian.................but celtic richt enuff, ther a wee cluie.
-
That sound rather Scottish to me :D
-
Whoo hooo ;)
-
Bannockburn ?
-
Are we somewhere on Skye OR is IT The Isle of Skye ? :'(
-
Na na laddie, it's a hoosie. Robert the Red may assist.
No, not Skye.................... south of that. An Edinburgh railway station may lead to one of the scribes works.
-
Stirling,or another famous 'battleground' ?
-
Are we at Glengyle House at Loch Katrine ?
OR are we associated with Sir Walter Scott ...Waverley ? :wall:
-
Now then scottiesmum...... ;)
But not at loch katrine.
-
I'm going to end up confusing myself again I think .... ::)
Abbotsford House near Melrose .... but I'm not getting the zombie connection at all .... Unless The Lady in the Lake is connected or am I now confusing that with Arthurian legend again ??? ...see what I mean by confusing myself ! (it's a good job it's too cold to go out :lol:) I'm learning an awful lot about Walter Scott at least ;D
-
Damn just beat me to it, I was going to ask if Walter Scott was involved. (honest)
-
Yes, Abbotsford House
The clue was too convoluted.
Abbotsford.............partial zombie = A (spam) bot + crossing = ford and then B+ for the second B in Abbot.
Sorry...........TD hides head in shame.... :-[ (until the next time >:D )
Hello Yorkie, is this work interfering with the puzzlings...........bad luck..
-
??? ??? :'( keeping my grey matter going you are TD !! ;D
Does anyone else want to post new clues ?? or shall I do another one ??
-
You win, your turn ;D
-
OK ..... here's one I made earlier ;D
A peaceful type of bread, the abode set reversed on no better than a lawn.
I think that is easy peasy, but then I know the answer :lol:
-
Peaceful........dove
type of bread.......rye
no better than a lawn...grasmere....
Are we at Dove Cottage, Rydale on the banks of Grasmere..............home of William Wordsworth. ???
-
Hoorray TD :thumbs: :clap2:
-
Woohoo....
An easy one
Approached in numbers, fact or fiction...who knows.
-
Approached in numbers, fact or fiction...who knows.
Came Droves Myth Query
... I give up!
-
Woohoo....
An easy one
Approached in numbers, fact or fiction...who knows.
Are we in Hardy country ?
-
Who knows......it has never been established. ;)
-
Not only cryptic clues, but cryptic replies :lol:
Mmmmmmmmmmmm! I always dread you saying it's "easy" TD !! ;D
-
Ah yes the whole thing is a bit of a lottery isn't it ?
-
Wessex was Hardys fictional county but I can't get that to fit the clue.
-
floydloid started on the right foot ok.
Not Hardy......................and scottiesmum was in the right general area in an earlier puzzle.
As I say, the whole thing is just a lottery.
-
Camelot
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :clap: :dance:
That's it......good onyer.. :D
Your go.. :)
-
Ooooo well done Yorkie ..... that didn't cross my mind.
-
I must give an assist there to Floydoid, as he worked the clue out better than me, then it was just an inspired guess.
Okay
Mr Badger may not appreciate this sport.
-
I think we may be in Hampshire.
Mr Badger..........a male badger is a boar and he would certainly not enjoy a Boarhunt.
;D
-
No.
But would fit.
A more generic name. The sport involves something a frenchman would appreciate. (well, before, not after naturally.)
-
A drink before, and a fag afterwards eh? And someone gave me a pack of Badger ales for Christmas. So does drinking come into it?
-
:hmm: :hmm:
Badger baiting ??
Brock the Badger .. ??
:'( :no:
-
There may be a bevvy or two afterwards of Wickwar Station Porter.
Brock is part of the answer.
-
The ONLY Brock I know is Brock Bottoms in Lancashire but the Wickwar Station Porter is from Gloucestershire ... and where the Frenchman comes in I've no idea, except that blaireau is badger in French !!!! now is there a place called Blaireau in Gloucester ?? ..back to the drawing board :'(
-
Right county.
A dairy farmer is indirectly involved in this sport.
-
I'm off to investigate the connection between Badgers and TB in cattle now ... :D especially in Gloucestershire !
Is Prince Charles involved ??
-
Dairy farmer :hmm: badger :hmm:
I do see le homme, but are we the Annual Cheese Rolling Festival at Brockworth...... :blush:
-
I don't know about these things ?? Rolling cheese ?? Mon Dieu, it's inuff to make a Frainchman cry :D
-
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap2:
Yes well done.
I was stretching the truth there a little about a Frenchman eating English cheese.
-
Oooo Well done TD ..... I've still never heard of it though ;D
You certainly threw me with the French connection Yorkie ::)
-
Scottiesmum's other half gets upset over misuse of French food:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=34j5JXTkArQ
-
Woohoo..... :D
Ok...now this is easy cos the wheels have fallen off TDs wee brain today.
Insular, not close to the south-west.
-
@ Eric :lol: (don't think hubby would be very flattered though ;D ) He did go on a bit didn't he ::) ::)
TD .... not that word 'easy' again ! :'(
-
Mr Badger may not appreciate this sport.
I wouldn't call 'cheese rolling' a sport,no wonder we get confused. :-X
-
Well, it's certainly not a science.... :lol:
-
I'm going for this in one ! :lol: Is it Ness Point (well it's definitely not close to the south-west ;D)
-
Is it Lindisfarne Island?
-
:clap2: to floydoid.
I was thinking of Farne Islands but Lindisfarne is good enough.
Your go... :)
ps scottiemum........far nor east.....farN.E...............you've got to spell it out every time... :no: :lol:
-
Kate, Ness Point is one of our great landmarks, but when you go there, there's nothing there apart from a signpost marking the spot. It should be a big tourist attraction, and a great selling point for the town of Lowestoft, but sadly it's not. Before the signpost was erected, you could walk past it and not know that you were at the most easterly point of the British mainland.
-
OMG, I got another one right, so another easy one:
Handle only produces water - has an admirer!
-
Floydy ...I knew that it was the most easterly point ...and it's pretty insular (in the isolated sense) .....it was the first thing that came into my mind ....but it was wrong ::)
Going to look at your "easy" one now ! :)
-
I don't know about these things ?? Rolling cheese ?? Mon Dieu, it's inuff to make a Frainchman cry :D
Said cheese rolling http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OpzEF0D2xfE (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OpzEF0D2xfE)
-
::) :no: :D
Thanks for that
-
Great stuff, though it's more 'people rolling' than 'cheese rolling' :lol:
-
Are we at Blackpool Tower ?
-
Are we at Blackpool Tower ?
Nope, a tad further north.
-
I was connecting Handle .... with Handels - water music !! but then following TD's clue ... I'm now in the Lake District ?? am I ??
-
You're getting warm Kate (or should I say wet?).
-
Yes, we are ...........handle= winder, only water mere
Lake Windermere..................the admirer would be that Wordsworth chappie and his never ending daffies.
-
Yep, you got it TD :)
(the admirer bit was alluding to Lady Windermere's fan)
-
Zut Alors, TD beat me to it !!! Well done TD ..... now for another stinker :lol:
-
Woohoo........was just about to modify to suggest the admirermight also have been the old boy Wainwright...
Anyway, will think up an easy one.........will be back anon.
(such language from across the channel..... :no: )
-
I suppose I could say excuse my French ! ;D it only means "damn it" at worse ! honest !!!! :angel: but I do enjoy saying it ... its VERY onomatopoeic ! >:D
-
Hmmmmmmm
Ok.
Might fish be heavy, to find out go by taxi.
-
Another of your easy ones I see Mr TD. :lol:
-
Well up to now I've come up with Tunny - (fish) as in ton -( heavy) go by - pass .... taxi - cab :'( ... I've been looking for Tunnycab Pass but can't find one anywhere ;D
I'm going to rest my brain !
-
Perhaps the taxi is not new...
-
Does Hackney come into it ?
-
;)
-
I have these moments of 'light' and then it all goes dark again :lol: There is a Clapton Common in Hackney .. but I don't think there's a fish called a clap :D :'(
-
"go by taxi"..................by perhaps in a Scottish sense... :-\
-
You're torturing my brain cell TD :)
-
by = nearby, close to, beside...... :-\
-
I've got that far !!!! ;D (but the taxi is on a go slow :lol:)
-
No stalling now !
-
Islington!
-
ooooooooooo I do hope you're right Eric :D and I think you might be :fingers:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it.
Thought you said something about not being so hot on crossie clues...... :-X
Your turn.. :)
-
I'll be Bach in a minuet (and that isn't a clue :) )
-
Bravo Eric :clap2: ... and what a good clue TD NOW that I see it all clearly ::) ::)
-
Here we go then (it's easy!):
Men getting married include detective
-
Is it Holmes Chapel, Cheshire ?
-
Sorry, no, not even warm.
-
Thinking cap back on :( :)
-
:hmm:
Idea forming..........could these men be on a board ?
-
No, but they might understand morse code.
-
radio hams :-\ ?
-
I've gone to Oxford now ... but think that's a bit too obvious :'(
-
Kate, you're getting an association, although the location isn't Oxford, or anywhere near. A sidekick perhaps.
Not radio hams TD.
-
Oxford :hmm:
brogues ?..............bags ?
-
Oxford is where the detective works. Think of sidekick.
-
LEWIS .....still working on the married men ??? if you see what I mean ;D
-
Outer Hebrides
-
Well done Yorkie :)
Your turn
-
I took a stab at the Lewis Chessmen. On a side note I think its disgusting that the majority of them are not displayed in Scotland - rant over.
See us dancing still frozen by the new born rays.
-
I'm afraid I've never heard of the Lewis chessmen :-[
The clue was made up of:
Men getting married: He-brides
Include a detective: Lewis, the largest island in the Outer Hebrides
-
TD should have solved Hebrides.
Hangs head in shame....... :-[
-
It's all happened since I've been out .... :clap2: Yorkie ... and what a clever little crossword puzzler you really are Eric :) He-brides ;D
off to look at Yorkies frozen dancers :'(
-
Baffled by Yorkie's poser.
Are the new born rays something to do with dawn or sun-rise...?... :hmm:
-
That did cause a problem for these big men.
-
I can't see the connection !! BUT is it anything to do with the Giants Causeway ? Big Men !
-
Still baffled.................are we at Stonehenge ?
-
You are both half right, right type of people right type of monument, wrong locations.
-
Are we back with the Hebrides .. Standing Stones ? still no ice connection but that could be well hidden ;D
-
A little further.
-
Orkney...............Scara Brae..... ???
-
Frozen Maiden in Aberdeenshire ? clutching at straws now ;D oooops that's not further though :'(
I'm now wondering if the things 'dancing' are flowers ??
-
Orkney, yes, but I'm going to be very strict and need a little more.
-
Is it the Watchstone on Orkney ..when the winter solstice takes place a so-called "flashing" phenomenon occurs ?? new born rays, flashing - dancing ??
-
No
-
Maeshowe..................ancient henge calendar to observe the winter solstice ?
-
No
-
the Yetnasteen on Rousay
( still frozen........yet nasty..... :no: ??? )
-
It can't be The Old Man of Hoy ? is Quartz involved ??
-
No and no.
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh ! ... TD I think it's over to you !
-
Dancing Giants
-
Do fairies dance at the giants Ring of Brodgar ?
-
:clap: :clap:
Not sure if fairies do but giants have been known to
http://www.orkneyjar.com/folklore/giants/brognt.htm
-
Phew, that was a toughie...........as are all Yorkie's clues :D
TD goes to think up a really simple one.........will be back.
-
OK, a very simple one as a relaxer after Yorkie's puzzler. ;D
Joie de vivre
-
Joie de vivre
Well I'm guessing it's not Gravesend.
-
:lol:
I love your easy ones TD. Mind you, I could make no contribution at all to Yorkie's offering. :-[
-
Nobody seems to be biting on this one - perhaps a bit more of a clue?
-
Could an Art Gallery be involved
-
It's not an art gallery, although there may well be one here.
A roguish ursine likes this, with sugar...
-
I've been out, full of the Joie de Vivre ;D but no nearer with the first clue ??
Are we at A.A.Milne's house .... Cotchford Farm in Ashdown Forest, Sussex, which the 100 acre wood was based on ?? OR at the Pooh Sticks Bridge ? where I suppose floating sticks could be full of Joie de Vivre :'(
-
No, not there.
Joie de vivre, translate into one word and think of stations.
-
My next question was does it involved railway stations and I was thinking therefore, of Paddington Station .... off to investigate there now ! just in case there is an affirmative ;D !!
-
;),
-
So near, yet so far ................. again :lol:
Is it the Paddington Bear statue at Paddington Station ? :no:
-
Nearly there, but way way in the wrong location.
What was our little friends favourite snack.
-
Marmalade sandwiches ... Is it Tiptree in Essex ???? also one word for joie de vivre ... conviviality springs to mind :-X
-
:no:
Marmalade.
Zzzzzzzz :sleep: ( siesta in Seville )
-
HONEY ? is it the Mill Green Museum in Hatfield, where there is an annual Teddy Bears Picnic ..... :-\
ooooh my head is in a twirl :lol: and to cap it all ... it's raining :-X
-
MARMALADE :lol:
-
Qoi ?? :shrug2: :shrug2: I didn't think it was that funny :lol:
-
Have you ever made marmalade at home, with things from Seville ? :D
I don't think women are allowed here.
-
Yes, but I get mine from Leclerc :lol: Oranges ....
I don't think women are allowed here.
I'm beginning to wish we weren't allowed here as well :lol:
Is there a mens club called the Orangery ?? ::)
-
Tell me how to make marmalade.
What to you call the stuff that you get when you grate the orange skin ?
-
Tell me how to make marmalade.
What to you call the stuff that you get when you grate the orange skin ?
Zest,or if in France........Le zest. :D
-
I think it's a pithy I ever started this one :lol:
-
Was that meant to be a pithy comment? ;D
-
Yes.
Joie de vivre..............could be ZEST for life.
Where does that orange zest come from ?
-
The skin of the fruit .... :wall: I quite like Duck a l'orange ;D
Why is no one else "suffering"
I'm going to kick myself at the end of this one aren't I ? ::)
-
I'm suffering too, I'm just quieter about it :lol:
-
I don't know about these things ?? Rolling cheese ?? Mon Dieu, it's inuff to make a Frainchman cry :D
Said cheese rolling http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OpzEF0D2xfE (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OpzEF0D2xfE)
OT alert
Just quickly catching up on this thread...
and I spy one that I may have had a chance of getting re the Cheese Rolling.. theres quite a nice pub with views of Coopers Hill where the event takes place (yes Ive climbed it several times)... Aptly called The Cheese Roller which does good food too. :drink:
-
I think it's a pithy I ever started this one :lol:
:lol:
-
When I take the skin off my orange, I refer to it as peeling, but then that is just me.. ;D
This apparent lack of women is not to be forgotten.
-
@ Eric, I'm suffering too, I'm just quieter about it :lol: A bit like man flu ;)
Peeling (I call it that too !) peelers, policeMEN ? There is a Robert Peel statue in Parliament Square, London (one in Bury too !) but can't see the a connection with that :'( I'm swiftly losing my Joie de Vivre ;D
-
Robert who ?
-
PEEL Isle of Man
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance: :congrats: :drink:
Whoo hoo, you got it....................( and so quickly.... :lol: )
TD hides from scottiesmum's revenge... :D
-
Whoo hoo, you got it....................( and so quickly.. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I shall be kind :angel:
The damaged ocean gives solace to some.
-
:hmm:
TD trundles off to find thinking cap.. ???
Are we in Essex...........West Mersea ( mercy ) ?
-
No ....
Actually there are three of these places in the UK ...... royal racing connection might help ..... :) but I wouldn't like to mislead you !!
-
Cowes?
-
I don't know about these things ?? Rolling cheese ?? Mon Dieu, it's inuff to make a Frainchman cry :D

Not far from where I live ...... the dog loves to go there for a pint or two ::)
-
>>>> but I wouldn't like to mislead you <<<<
Huh... :no:
-
No not Cowes ......
TD .. sorry to see you shaking your head :lol:
-
:D
Epsom
-
Henley-on-Thames :no:
-
No to all ....
Break the clues up (that's not a cryptic clue btw ;D)
-
>>>Damaged Ocean<<<<........ coral reef?
-
No, you're barking up the wrong tree !
-
woof :'(
-
;) think about it !
-
A wild stab in the dark..................Scapa Flow
-
Oooooo No .... other end !!
The damaged ocean sometimes surrounds fish !
-
She's out TDing TD........ :lol:
-
:lol: :dance: :lol:
....don't fritter away the hints already given in previous replies .... you may also like to lap up some soup !
-
Fritter - now that's a clue if I could only work it out.
Ah! Battersea!
-
Eric, you're almost there !!! and you'd be barking not to get the actual place now ;D
-
Battersea Dogs' Home
-
Assuming that I interpreted Kate's last clue correctly ( :) ) here's a very easy one:
In this place the river crossing is used by cattle
-
:clap2: :clap2: Bravo Eric .... You're like the outside who comes up the inside and pips them at the post ;D
Clues.... Damaged batter Ocean Sea Battersea gives solace to some ...solace - care ...
hints Mislead barking up the wrong tree fritter away lap up some soup
There are 3 Battersea centres ............ Battersea, Old Windsor (Royalty, Soup) and Brands Hatch in Kent (racing)
Your turn ......
-
Ironbridge perhaps ?
-
Woohoo for the penguin......
Now then cattle crossing
OXFORD ?
-
Not warm yet, I'm afraid
Maybe I was too cryptic
-
Is it Stockbridge near Leith ?
-
Sorry, no, it's more a matter of paddling
-
In this place................here
crossing.....................ford
Hereford Cattle ............... :hmm:
-
Well done TD :clap2:
-
:dance: :congrats: :dance:
A very simple one (really)
West coast song ? Sounds like it.
-
TD would that be Ayr?
-
:clap2: :clap: :thumbs: :dance: :congrats:
Ayr it is.
-
Oooooooo it's all been happening fast and furious on here ..... ;D
-
Yup, just waiting for the next clue...... ;D
While we are waiting, how about a couple of crossword clues to solve :-
gegs ( 9,4 letters)
spirited kick in the pants (3,5 letters )
hehehe.
-
Oops I got otherwise distracted there. So let's try this:
Rapper doesn't like this town?
(should be easy)
-
:hmm:
There is a wee place not too far from here called Knocknain ( knock none ) but I don't suppose that's the answer... :D
-
'Fraid not TD.
-
Whilst I'm thinking about the rapper and the town ....
gegs ( 9,4 letters) Scrambled eggs ??
-
Scrambled eggs is correct.
Thinking cap back on, but if this rapper is one of those dreadful pop-person type rappers, then I am lost.
-
Floydy, is it Knock in Ireland ?
TD still struggling with the kick up the pants ;D
-
No Kate but you're along the right line of thinking. ;)
-
Knockdown in Wiltshire ?
-
Bangor ? ;D
I like this game ! I get a lot of winks ;D
-
TD's in the right country. ;)
-
Now, I know nothing of rap music ( if indeed music is the right word ) but I see with a bit of googling that there is a person styled Snoop Dogg.........
are we in Catford :lol: or even Houndsditch :D
-
Is it somewhere in ..............London ?
-
London is too far south... think rap or hip-hop (possibly chav) type speak. ;)
-
I'm totally lost now Floydy :( I don't know what rap, hip hop chav speak is :no: ... ::)
-
OK then another clue:
This town is on the border of two counties that are bitter rivals.
-
I'm going exploring in Lancashire and Yorkshire :-\
This is a stab in the dark ::) ..... rapper ... knock ... is it DENT ? :hmm:
and another one ..... ( Lord Nelson is the lead vocalist for the rap metal band Stuck Mojo.) NELSON ??
-
Nope you are too far north.
-
I shall now go to Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire .. phew all this travelling ;D
-
Cambridgeshire is closer. ;)
-
Hmm.. Thetford or Diss then perhaps, but like TD I don't know anything about the 'musical' clue so I can't get further at the moment.
-
Eric's got it - Diss... as in rappers etc dissing people.
-
Well, it was generous of you to allow me the prize. :)
This destination sounds like perfume.
-
Are we in the Scottish borders, at (Estee) Lauder :hmm:
-
I would never arrived at Diss !! ::) :clap2: Eric .....
Looks like TD could be on to something here ! :)
-
Sorry, not near Scotland at all.
Think of another word for perfume.
-
Perfume............eau de toilette :hmm: ...............toilet water........
Are we at Looe. :D
-
Nice idea, but no. :lol:
Another, simpler name for perfume.
-
Have you taken us to Italy ? a Roma
-
oooooooooooo do you think Eric's treated us to Italy ..... I'll see you at the Trevi Fountain :lol:
Is there a place called Scent ?? ::)
-
Kate is on the , er, scent. Think of 'sounds like' and then the destination.
-
Pongland is the best I can come up with.
-
:lol:
-
:lol:
I think my clue might be a bit incompetent :(
Think of it the other way round:
Sounds like perfume .... to destination
-
COVENTRY ..... ?
-
Gottit! :) Over to you.
-
Nothing wrong with your clue Eric, it was the answer that was the problem ;D
Now, try this .....
It may not tie your shoe, but it should give you a clue !
-
Olney?
-
Laceby ?
-
shoe horn = Horncastle?
-
No to all three :( but TD is in the area, although not geographically ;)
-
Lacey Green?
-
Pongland is the best I can come up with.
There is a place near Norwich called Poringland - not sure if it smells tho.
Eric i still can't make the connection from scent to Coventry. ???
-
Kate a few ideas for yours - Eye in Suffolk (near Diss strangely enough), Bow in London, Knottingley in Yorkshire, or Knotting in Bedfordshire.
-
No sorry ..... a couple of you are onto the correct link ....work on it and it could produce where you are looking for !
-
Notting Hill or Nottingham?
-
Eric i still can't make the connection from scent to Coventry. ???
Just say "scent to Coventry" out loud..
-
I guess I wasn't thinking laterally enough.
-
No, No-one near 'geographically' yet but Nottingham could give a clue !!
You are all doing 'fine work' - look at the original clue .... It may not tie your shoe, but it should give you a clue !
Another bit of help .....
A dream county that could contain a typo !!
-
Hmm :hmm:
Nottingham takes us to lace making and/or tatting, could the dream county be Bedfordshire ?
Get a clue might be to cotton on to something...........and you can make lace with cotton
Are we at Cotton End ?
-
Ooooooooooo TD you are getting warm ... but don't cotton on to anything !! not Bedfordshire .. think - dream county that could contain a typo !!
OK .... another bit of help ..... bees give heavy harvest ......
I have a feeling Yorkie, Chrissie or Kitz might know this ...................and that's another clue !!!! ;)
-
An important traditional industry in a little Devon town was lacemaking, and all these bees making honey that weighs lots, and Devon could be a divan with a typo..........can't think where some of the more elegant and graceful of the Kitizens come into it, but...................are we at Honiton.
;D
-
YES !!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap:
I thought the 'ladies' clue might lead you to the 'genteeeeel craft' ;D LACE may not tie your shoe but will give you a clue !
Over to you !! :)
-
Woohooo.
Off to think up easy one...........will be back anon.
( revenge is sweet, hehehe >:D )
-
OK, here we go.
steady or staunch
-
Well done TD, and thanks for another easy one :no:
-
He's at it again .... easy :o ;D
well so far .... staunch ... can be to stop the flow ... so are we near water ? staunch can also mean of strong construction, is it a Dam perhaps ?
steady ???? perhaps a boat/ship term ?? .. water keeps coming to mind ? :'( :'( or is my mind wandering again ;D
-
More of an adjective really.
You could put a lid on the valley if it helps.
-
Theres a place called Valley Dam in welsh Wales.
-
:no: Is it the scene of a battle then TD .... ?
(be back later, I'm a lady that lunches today)
-
Not there Yorkie, but firm and constant seems to be the way to go.
No battle there, scottiesmum, but enjoy the lunch :D
-
Now I've got a Hard Rock, just need to find where it is. :lol:
-
This valley on which you may wish to put a lid, lots of red roses growing there possibly.
-
Back now !
does that mean it's in Lancashire ?? and has it anything to do with the Ribble Valley
-
Oh dear TD has made a terrible mistake...........should be white roses.......sorry ( hides in shame :-[ )
How was lunch... :)
-
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :o (and me a Lancashire lass) I could have you taken to Lancaster Castle for that :lol:
Yorkshire then ..... ;D are we one of the Dales or is IT Yorkshire Dales all of them ??
lunch was very nice thank you ..... but I think following your faux pas it shall repeat on me all evening :lol: :lol:
-
:lol: :lol:
A Dale, with a lid on.
-
Is it Buttertubs ? well they have lids on them ;) :D
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo just had a brainstorm ... is it COVERDALE :'(
-
Yes, we are in Coverdale.
We started with steady and staunch and I suggested you use them as adjectives, then we had firm and constant...
Perhaps Mr. Roget can assist.
-
Oy, you haven't solved the clue yet................where in Coverdale........ :D
Good grief, she's posting her own clues before finishing this one................well, she has been at "lunch" ::)
-
TD I don't know what you are saying here !!!!!!!!!!!! :angel: :angel: :lol: Oooops sorry - must have been that digestive I had (and I don't mean biscuit ;D ) (I've removed my post )
Where in Coverdale ??? well that's another task now ... ::)
-
Bolton Castle, Leyburn ?? :no: :'(
-
How about Coverham?
-
No to both.
All those earlier adjectives and nouns...........was trying to get you to "stable" ;)
-
Now that throws another aspect on it all ... stable .. is that as in stability or as in manger ... which could have a French connection - to eat ? (I'm talking to myself TD so just ignore me ;D) I'm off to do some exploring .... costing me a fortune in travel :lol:
-
stability ? neigh lass, neigh ;)
-
Is it Middleham, Racing Stables associated with Richard lll ?
-
No... too specific.
What is a stable ? :-\
-
a place for horses ??? :'( :wall: (I feel a headache coming on ;D )
there are the famous Dales Ponies !! but that's not a place .... and there's Ripon Race Course but .... I'm terribly ??? :'( :no: :-\ :-X now !! ;D
-
Horsehouse!
-
:clap2: :dance: :clap: :thumbs: :drink:
Roseway has it.
Horsehouse, and a right lovely part of the country it is too.... ;D
TD shudders to think what is coming next..... :(
-
I feel a bit mean, letting Kate do all the thinking then leaping in with the answer :-[
So I think it should really be Kate's turn to be quizmistress.
-
:clap: :clap2: :thumbs: Bravo Eric ..... apart from all the interesting information 'one' :D gleans from searching with all these clues, the different workings of the male and female brain is "interesting" :lol:
Eric, you're not getting away with that .... us women are used to doing all the hard work :lol: .... I shall hand it back to you ....gracefully! >:D
-
Huh, some people are just bad losers......... :lol:
-
:lol: :lol:(https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.villagephotos.com%2Fp%2F2005-5%2F1013475%2Fbaseball_133.gif&hash=ae343c1ab333c6f3aef81dabefe36e779dd6a2a8)
-
OK, before any blood is spilt :lol:
Sounds like cooking in the open air
-
(al) Tresco ?
-
:)
Sorry, no.
-
:hmm: :hmm: ( I'm still pondering ::) )
-
A chef cooks, and a field is usually outdoors.....
chef field
Sheffield ????
-
Top marks TD! Over to you. :)
-
Apparently the accipiter is fighting fit.
-
oooooooo you are clever TD (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.villagephotos.com%2Fp%2F2005-5%2F1013475%2F25835.gif&hash=62ed0bddc58fd2d99c7f6ccac690ad5b6a5ff63c)
now for yours :silly: :hmm:
-
Hawkwell?
-
:clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
In like a flash with that one.........see, my clues are easy. :D
Next up ?
-
The marine door on the left
-
Are we back in Devon, at Portgate ?
-
Grief !! I can't keep up !!! ;D Have fun ... I'll be back to tackle whichever tomorrow :sleep: bonne nuit !
-
Not Devon, but the right sort of interpretation.
-
OK, are we in Worcestershire, at Portway. :-\
-
No, rather more cartographical
-
???
TD flounders.
Maps and charts............Ordnance Survey.....OS
Gosport ?
-
I'm leaving this one to TD .... he appears to be doing all the ground work, apart from that I'm no nearer :lol:
-
>>> I'm leaving this one to TD <<<
:help:
-
I haven't time TD ... shops to visit, lunches to eat :D but I'll be with you in spirit :drunk: ;)
-
The 'cartographical' hint refers to the interpretation of 'left'.
-
You mean whether a man or woman is reading the map. :lol:
-
Westport, in Zummerzet ?
-
@Yorkie: I'm glad you said that, not me :lol:
@TD: Getting there, but in eating apple country rather than cider apple country.
-
Are we in Worcestrershire ?
-
A lot nearer to France
-
That must mean "The (fruit) Garden of England"
Westgate-on-Sea, Kent. ?
-
That's it :)
Over to you.
-
:D
Phew.
OK, very easy one.
Misspelt arrow head perhaps used by a berberic Venetian.
-
Allo TD !! back from lunch .... You've been doing sterling work here :clap2:
May I ask .... do you mean barbaric ( I don't know what berberic means or has that something to do with the arrow head being misspelt ;D --- OR does it refer to an Italian Teddy Bear :lol: ? )
-
Hallo again..............erm, you're back from lunch ? Nuff said... :lol:
berberic
Italian teddy bear :no:
It's a real struggle when she's on the charge, isn't it ? :lol:
-
Is Othello the berberic Venetian?
-
On the charge :-\ :-\ you ain't seen nothing yet :lol:
berberic .... has this Arab connotations ?? just so that I'm on the right track you understand :angel:
Ooo Eric, I got a red warning you were there ;D I was thinking Shylock ??
-
Yes, Othello is your man :)
-
Come on Kate, I'm sure you know Shakespeare better than I do - what misspelt arrow head might Othello have used?
-
This old boy Othello..............maybe leather springs to mind, or even a comedy due travelling the road.
-
Eric, I hated Shakespeare, and he's never grown on me :no: But I am connecting Othello with Moor .... now with TD's other clue about the comedy duo travelling the road are we on the Bob Hope movies ??? OR are we near Morecambe ?? my mind goes into overdrive about now ;D
(my Shylock connection was the Merchant of Venice ::) )
-
Leather..........Morocco
On the Road to Morocco
Morocco..........from wence comes a Moor
Othello.......The Moor of Venice
Stick with Moor and sort out the arrowhead.
-
DARTMOOR ??
-
Very good try, and a dart may be an arrow............but dart is properly spelt.
;)
-
Harrow on the Hill ?? :-\
-
Nooo...............nowadays this mispelt arrow may be more commonly used as a sewing implement.........but originally...?
-
:wall: :wall: :wall: :drunk: Eric !! HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP :D
-
Bodmin Moor
-
I've just arrived to put Bodmin Moor Bodkin needle !!!! but Yorkie beat me to it !!!!! Well Done Yorkie ......... :clap2: :clap2:
-
oops sorry, I knew the word I wanted, but had one of those senior moments and couldn't remember it.
-
I've 'assumed' that you are correct Yorkie, and I'm sure you are, but we had better wait for the :graduate: to confirm .....
oooooo don't apologise ... good fun innit !! ;D Looking forward to your clue soon ;D TD gives a whole new meaning to the word 'easy' :lol: In fact I think I've spotted something TeaseD :lol:
-
Well done Yorkie, and sorry I couldn't make a helpful contribution. :-[
-
To cross over a river from fiction for 13 minutes a day.
The inspiration for this would'nt quite call a play.
Sounds like a city of learning, but without a letter in the way.
The number 4 is relavent but not on a saturday
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Well done Yorkie, Bodmin Moor it is... ;D
-
Ezzer is that a clue or the directions to your next job. :lol:

If it is a clue, it's got TD baffled.... :lol:
-
TD :o..... looking at Ezzer's :swoon: your clues ARE easy :lol:
-

It's a fictional place...................

Ambridge
home of the Archers
-
Spot On TD :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
To cross the river Am (by the bridge), it's fictional, and only 13mins each evening
From a soap opera so not quite a play
A city of learning, Cambridge but without the C in the way
no.4 from radio 4, not on saturday as its broadcast sunday to monday
-
Wooohooo, off to think up a stinker, will be back. >:D
-
Soother found in Gilead, spoken, is a keep
-
Are we in Edgar Allan Poe territory?
soother = balm
-
Poe :no:
balm ;)
-
Balm - a healing substance ! Spoken .. word ! Gilead - a hill or a mound. Keep - part of a castle / fortress .... somewhere in all this there is a place ? :'( Stonehenge used to be a place of healing for pilgrims, a bit like Lourdes - are we in Stonehenge ?
-
Not Stonehenge.
(soother in Gilead ) = balm
spoken = ? ( it's quite testing this one )
keep = you've said it !
-
Balm .... BALM
Spoken ... ORAL
Keep Castle
BALMORAL CASTLE !
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :dance: :clap:
See...........easypeasy :D
-
Fantastic! Well done Kate. :)
-
Phew !!! :o :no: :no: not easy peasy !! ........... but getting more used to the compiler's mind ;D
This bazaar contains a drawn carriage heavily set upon a bird.
PS ... Eric, I think the brain rest yesterday did some good ;D
-
>>>> but getting more used to the compiler's mind <<<<
What mind ? :D
Puts on thinking cap.. :hmm:
-
Bazaar.............market
Horse drawn carriage........dray
heavy...... ton
Market Drayton ?...................not sure about the birdie.. ???
-
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo easy for you TD with your mind :lol: :clap2: :clap2:
The bird was Tern .. the river that Market Drayton stands on !
over to you .....
-
:graduate: :lol:
I will return
-
Is that the clue ? :lol: :lol:
-
:lol:
No but this is.
A bit gloomy in the old days, over the water.
-
I've been pondering :hmm: the gloom in the old days could this refer to the 'gloaming' twilight ?? over the water .... It all sounds a little bit poetic and Irish to me :'(
-
twilight :no:
oirish bejabbers ;)
-
Dublin
Beyond the Pale
-
'fraid not.
scottiesmum mentioned poetry, I suppose you could wax lyrical about this place.
-
Are we in the Mountains of Mourne ? Or does County Wexford figure ??
-
No, neither of these places, but "county" is a handy hint ( and so is this....quote "you could wax lyrical about this place." )
-
I shall concentrate on that clue now TD ... I was thinking Mourne (morning - Dusk) and lyrical song ... but it was not to be !!
Off to ponder some more ...
-
wax lyrical
-
County Wicklow ?
-
:clap2: :dance: :thumbs: :clap:
-
Oooooooooo ...... thanks TD .....
here we are ..... to quote a phrase ;) " easy peasy "
Fodder poses a question
-
Hay-on-Wye ?
-
You see TD MY easy peasies ARE easy peasy :lol: :clap2: :clap2: I'm going to have to take a leaf out of your book if I get the chance to do another one :lol:
-
I can't begin to keep up with you two geniuses :)
-
>:D
the rock precedes a cape. Fishy.
-
:o :swoon:
I know of only one cape in the UK Cape Wrath and can see NO connection even when I turn it around ! .... but then again it might be another sort of cape :'( Is the shipping forecast involved ??
-
Right sort of feature, although it isn't one.
Not to do with shipping forecast...........although that would be listened to around this place.
-
Rock = stone or boulder?
Cape = peninsula/headland or cloak?
-
the rock..........or should that be The Rock
headland, truncated a bit.
-
The Rock to me is Gibralter ??? :'( so, are we looking at gib which pertains to salmon and trout (fishy)
TD's at it again !! ;D
-
pebble.........en francais, s'il vous plait
-
Ah Bon ?? TD .. do you mean for pebble or stone .... pebble in French is caillou (unless it's on a beach and then it's a galet) and stone is pierre ..... pierre and fishy ... Pierre- Peter ... St. Peter was a fisherman !! Are we at St. Peter Port ? Guernsey ( a Guernsey is a sweater - cover - cape is a cover ??) oooo my mind is in overdrive again :lol:
-
Sorry, meant stone.
pierre then truncated headland where the shipping forecast is listened to, and something fishy goes on.
We're in Scotland.
-
Would we be in the Peterhead area.
-
We are indeed, and not just in the area...... :dance: :thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
-
:clap2: :clap2: Yorkie !
-
Is this man in green far from home.
-
Not in home ... Man in Green .. Robin Hood .. Nottingham ??
-
I was going to suggest that Robin Hood would be at home in Nottingham.........but would be far from home if he were at..............Robin Hood's Bay in Yorkieland. ;D
-
Ooooooooo that's your devious mind at work again TD :lol: bet you're right !!! :P
-
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Well done, spot on.
-
OK, easy one just to give the brains a rest.
Centre of the pyrus malus growth badly spelt

A mixed-up bovine might lead to a troglotydish Kitizen
>:D
-
This one sounds like fun :lol:
Troglodytish - wren perhaps
I'll be back...
-
:D
It's just an easy one to get the day started.
Not a wren.....
-
Troglodytish :-\ cave/diungeon - Kitizen - Naughty Corner ?? :lol: mixed up bovine ..... cattle, cow, ox ,buffalo
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :hmm: (it's the word 'easy' that worries me ! ;D
-
:D
cave ;)
cow ;)
A cow does this if it has been on the beer ?
-
Throw up in the middle of the field? ;D
-
:-\ :no: ;D
-
I think beer is used as a tranquiliser for "show cows" (thinking back to my green wellie roots ;D) ...
so ... calm, sleep (I don't think it makes them sing :lol:) but perhaps 'wind' could come into it ! :swoon:
-
A sober cow moos ;)
-
There's an Oxbow Cave on Skye... :-\
-
Not there, but heading in the right direction.
Who could the Kitizen be. ? Oops, there goes that cow again.
-
I'm hanging on for clues here ;D I've been trying to work out the connection with a Kitizen and cows mooing or lowing or whatever ... :no: :no:
-
Not cows mooing...................A cow moos , but maybe slurred a bit.
A particular Kitizen...
-
:no: :no: I've been perusing the members list !!! it's miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles long :-X can we have a difficult one next please TD :lol:
-
See now I've got a vision of a cow staggering across a meadow hiccuping from one end and making strange noises from the other. ;D
-
Simplify the list with an anagram of moos...........good grief there are only four letters..... :D
@ Yorkie :D
-
I KNOW I'm going to have a large bruise on my shin when I kick myself later ::) ... but the more I look at this :no: clear as mud !! :D
-
If you get a bruise, best to smooth on some ointment.
-
Is it Smoo Cave on the northern coast of Scotland ??
-
:dance: :dance: :clap2: :clap: :clap: :thumbs: :clap2: :dance: :thumbs:
Well done.........and all by yourself too...... :lol:
-
:P :P :lol: crikey I need a lie down now !!! THANK YOU TD ... for all the hints .... and to Eric who nearly got there very early on, and who gave me the hint that it was in Scotland .... :)
Oooooooooooooooo the smell of baking bread is pervading chez nous at the moment ..............that's not a clue by the way !
now then ....
This could prove difficult on account of the water content.
-
:D
Are we in Gloucestershire..............at Drybrook ? :hmm:
-
No ... sorry ! but your heading in the right direction !
-
:(
Ok are we in Cumbria............Drybeck. ? :-\
-
No, sorry TD ... I meant you were in the right direction geographically :)
-
:hmm:
Ironbridge ?
:)
-
I wonder if 'water content' means that the name contains 'eau'?
-
Or possibly just south of Bristol, at Nailsea................ :-\
-
or a rather "rude" one ...... Piddletrenthide in Dorset?
-
I wonder if there's a dam involved.
-
Allo Allo again ... I thought you might have replaced this whilst waiting ;D anyway I think I was a little cruel in the vagueness of my clue :angel: :angel:
No-one is close sorry ! TD was the nearest geographically in Gloucestershire .... but not quite there ...... now to help a little ;)
..... find what sort of water which shouldn't be difficult in the UK !! .... don't overcook the pig ! then reverse !
-
:hmm:
Overcook...........burn
pig.....................ham
lots of water..........sea
carry on past Gloucesrter.......
Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset ????
-
I knew I'd made it too easy giving you those extra clues ::) ;D :clap2: :clap2: well done TD ...
-
I guess we'll be getting another easy one now :'(
-
>>> I knew I'd made it too easy <<< .................TOO EASY ? :swoon:
:graduate: :D
Yes a very easy one.
Carried on regardless.
-
Carried on .... Brought ? ... there are quite a few Broughtons in the UK ..... so is this a start ? :no: :-X
-
There was a film called Carry On Regardless, but I can't see where that would take us...
-
>> Carried on regardless.
Morrisons Carpark
(Think about it!)
Ok I'll go get my coat (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emotionless.co.uk%2Femotes%2Fe%2Frun2.gif&hash=b8a6d30d92fe9579428f98433de35af312a528cf)
-
:lol:
-
:lol:
How about urged on regardless.
-
Is that another clue or just an observation TD ? :lol:
-
carried on
urged on
forced on
pressed on
egged on
:)
-
I suppose it's Preston then (?) but I can't get the 'regardless' bit yet...
-
Yes Preston
I just meant to press on against the odds and regardless of difficulties etc. :-[
-
There are umpteen Prestons in the UK, and I was trying to make one of the odd ones fit with 'regardless' :)
Here's a nice easy one:
This sounds like what a couple do when they get engaged.
-
:-[ :-[ :-[ :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: I was born in Preston (well Samlesbury) :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
:D
-
:lol:
Engaged couples might tender each other a ring.
Tendring ? :hmm:
-
No, but you may be on the right track.
-
Think about penguins and adverts
-
p-p-p-p-ick up a p-p-p-enguin
pick a ring
Pickering ???
-
That's it :clap2:
Over to you for another easy one...
-
Ooo well done TD ... it's all that sun !! ;D ( when you mentioned tendring I immediately thought of a steak hammer ;) )
-
>>>> when you mentioned tendring I immediately thought of a steak hammer <<<<
Typical........ :lol:
OK an easy one....
Silly fool tumbled
-
This is a complete stab in the dark ... as will become evident ;D
I am thinking (or perhaps not :-\ ) .... tumbled FELL ....
Silly fool .... stupid person .... stupid boy PIKE ( Dad's Army)
Scafell Pike in the Lake District .... I have NO explanation for Sca :no: :no:
:'( :'(
well I did warn you :D
-
Very much on the right track, not the stupid boy...........unless he has four feet. :)
-
I'd like to think that there's a place called Donkey Fell, but there doesn't seem to be :)
-
Insular mountain,
Donkey ?, don't be a silly billy.
-
act the goat .... Goat Fell in Ayreshire .... your last clue didn't help at all :lol: :lol:
-
:clap2: :thumbs: :clap:
-
OK ....
Charlie not going straight !
I've decided to put another angle on this ! as it may be a little obtuse ...... Charlie did exist and may have found this place uplifting !
-
Charlie as in Bonnie Prince?
-
No, sorry Eric.... more humorous, at his peak ;) .....well some may have thought so ::)
-
Charlie Chester
-
You have the right person Uncy :) ... but there's a bit more yet .... a clue in my reply to Eric ..... I'm sure you'll be inspired ;)
-
Crooked inspired .............Chesterfield.

-
Clue.
A film with a hawk in it
-
Maltese Falcon or Kes :hmm:
-
Kes .... ??
Barnsley ?? :'(
-
Kes...............Yes.
Barnsley.................no
east............... ;)
-
I'm thinking of a rugby connection :'( Hull ?
-
No sporting connection :)
-
Thinking east could land you nearer this place
-
Kes makes me think of Keswick, and strangely there are two Keswicks in Norfolk, which is on the east side of the country...
-
Wrong place Eric,but getting nearer.
-
Kessingland ?
Suffolk Wildlife Park..... :)
-
You got it :clap2:
There is a safari park at Kessingland (Lions).Its just about the most eastern part of the UK.
I should know,we heard them when we camped next door. :D

Woohooo......... ;D
Will be back......... >:D
-
OK, TD's revenge :D
Besets beside, is it really near a pacific state?
-
Washington is a Pacific state, and we have Washington in Co Durham, so I'm thinking about somewhere near there ?
-
Sorry no, :( , but not a bad line of thought. :)
-
California Cross in Devon
-
California yes, but a more easterly one :)
-
California( beside) the sea on the east coast of Norfolk
-
Yes...............now the besets beside (not far away) or possibly fringes beside.
-
You mean its not California in Norfolk,but a place near to it. :hmm:
-
Norfolk Broads ?
(if that's correct it's all down to Unc ;) )
-
@ unkyUb Thats right :)
Your skirting round and nearly there.
@ scottiesmum No, not the Broads, a place where TD once had a holiday home.
-
Hemsby ?? hems - skirt !! beset / beside by :'(
-
Caister on sea. ?
-
Woohoohooo :clap2: :dance: :clap: :thumbs:

Depends on a game in reverse !

-
Bankludo ? :D
No no :no:
Could it be Prestonpans ?
-
No .... sorry TD .... but keep on your first track ;)
-
Are we standing on the middle of Westminster Bridge ? :)
-
No, sorry TD ... wrong country !! put some punctuation in my original clue ;)
-
Wrong country ? :hmm:
So, we're in Outer Mongolia ? :D
-
Close ;D
-
Auchtermuchty ?
-
Could we be in Wales ?
-
Yes Unc .... right country ! :)
-
Bridgend

No, not there Unc ... but you are on the right sort of game ........ :)
It's no big deal ;)
-

Must try harder :'(
-
You know me TD ....... anything to do with :sun: :lol: (there's a Freckleton near Preston ;) )
Around a speedy gong.
-
:hmm:
around.......by
speedy...... fleet
gong = drum ? = drumskin = leatherhead
Leatherhead near Byfleet :no: :-[
-
No, sorry TD ........ around - by ... No ..... think of another ....around ;) gong - drum no ..... if you get that you'll have an inkling ;)
-
Is this anything to do with film studios ? :no:
-
No TD .... OK .... Around a speedy gong. if I said : a speedy gong, around that might help. Inkling was another clue ..... think of charades !
-
Inkling................hint ?
Charades.......... mime/hint/clue/travesty/sham.................lots of places ending in ham or sham
Speedy.............you did not say no to my fleet
Gong...........chime/honour/medal
George Cross + hint...............Hinton-St-George ?
TD is waffling ......... :-[
-
;D not waffling TD .... trying ......... very >:D :D
Charades ... one of the mimes .... sounds like .... inkling !!! - gong .....chime - yes ..... what chimes ? .... or pays a fee ;)
fleet :no: :no: ..... speedy speedy speedy ....... results in hunger ......
-
Awash with clues, and still I'm out of my depth. :(
-
OK ....see if this helps .....
an 'ology' .... but not one where you could pitch a tent ...... get this and you'll speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed along to the answer !!
-
campanology I suppose...

YES ! come on Eric you can do it !!! ;D
-
Camptown Races?
-
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh.
Belfast ?
-
Alleluia :lol: :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: TD ..... ooo Eric I thought you were going to nip in with the answer !

I'm sure you'll do better with this than I did with that....... ;D
Blue male canines. There is only one.
-
I take it we're not talking about UncleUB's pooch? ;D
-
Well if it's not Unc's Blue :D might it be Kerry ?
-
No, not our Blue and no, not Kerry. :)
-
Naw, naw laddie. :)
-
Sorry TD, I deleted my guess when I saw your reply to Kate :-[
-
I thought TD had been talking to himself for a minute ;D
Could we be in Bedlington in Northumberland ?
-
No, further north.
Blue....................as described by an RA perhaps.
-
Hmmm.........maybe we need to apply some of our native wisdom to this !
-
I'm still working on this one .... still trying to work out what RA means :lol:
I thought it might have something to do with Greyfriars Bobby ?
-
RA = Royal & Ancient (golf course)perhaps. :hmm:
-
Not wee Bobby, and not a golf course.
About this RA..........do I have to paint you a picture ? ;D
-
Royal Academy ??
it's nothing to do with corgis is it ?? :-\
-
Royal Academy leads us to a painter, any painter, who may thus describe blue..........not navy, not royal, not cerulian, but maybe........?
Not corgis....................canines, hmmm apply that wisdom.
-
Are we in Skye somewhere ?
-
Not Skye :(
wisdom incisors ?
-
A painter might call blue 'azure'
... wisdom teeth
... still don't get it :(
-
A painter might call the colour "lake"
teeth, yes but male ones...............
And there is only one ( in Scotland)
-
>> teeth, yes but male ones
I guess that's the association with wisdom :lol:
-
>> teeth, yes but male ones
I guess that's the association with wisdom :lol:

OK .....
Brush off this Mafia member !
-
I know I mentioned the Mafia in the latest clue ..... it's not scared you all off has it ? ;D
-
TD reports from behind sofa :D
Has the brush got anything to do with a fox ?
-
;)
-
Fox
mafia member............Italian..............Tonio........with brush (tail) removed...........ton
Foxton ?
-
( Tonio :lol: ) sorry it just made me giggle ! .
...........and Foxton .............. No !
but concentrate on the fox ;)
-

Don't be ambawwased TD .... ;D give the fox a name ;)

Basil Brush and a mafia man....... don ?

OK here we go.
Load ship at short undefined jetty, arrive in the middle.
:graduate:
-
:'( :-X
Cargo ? Freight ? Centre ?? am I making any sense ? :no:
-
Jetty = Pier ?
Load ship = Embark ?
:'(
-
:-[
Umm.........slight error in clue..... :blush: it should read:-
Load ship at short jetty, arrive in the middle
Sorry.
cargo is nearer than passengers, pier is helpful.
-
That was just to make it a bit easier I guess :)
Load ship = stow ?
-
>> Load ship = stow <<<
;)
-
Stowupland ? :-\
-
:no: sorry
The jetty has perhaps been shortened by something indefinite.
-
Load ship =hold,
Oldham
-
Pier - Pi = er
-
Not Oldham, and different kind of loading facility.
-
A wee recap might help.
stow + (arrive) + (ship loading facility minus the indefinite )
ps we are in a county after which is named a famous horse race )
-
Stow Cum Quy ???

I've never heard of it either, I just found it in the index of my map book. I suspect that TD tried hard to find the most obscure place name he could :lol:
Now, let's see...
I'll be back in a mo.
Here we go: an overweight lover?
-

Are we back to Big Jock again? :D

Portnahaven?

Sunderland
-
No, but you are off to a logical start... :)
-
:D I thought the sun was involved TD :angel:
Is it Sunbury (bury the sun :o )
-
:no:
It's a haven ;)
-
Peacehaven
-
No, stay with the :sun: bit
-
Chez moi >:D :lol:
-
>>sigh :-\ :-\ <<
Haven ? sanctuary, safety, harbour ?
Loosely connected to a soap opera perhaps.

You're getting too good at this game........... :scare: , will have to think up a goodun... :hmm:
"unfurl, aloof and guarded"
-
:hmm: :hmm: mmmmmmm! you've certainly thought up a 'guddun' TD :-X
-
What would you unfurl, and what would you call that action if you were at sea ?
-
Strike the ensign ........
-
No, that would be to take it down not unfurl...............
-
All I can think of is raise or hoist, and neither really means unfurl.
-
No, that would be to take it down not unfurl...............
Not being a navy man, I got my furl unfurl all mixed up! :-[
-
Unfurl at sea would be to stream a flag.
-
Coldstream ......... aloof/cold ...... stream/unfurl ..... and there are of course the Coldstream Guards!
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :dance: :clap:
That's it...ooohooo.
Over to you. ;D
-
:clap: :clap2: Colin .... I just popped in to see if there was any headway on this, and you've done it ! :)

I WAS helped a little by the streaming clue ...... knowing area well, I immediately thought of Coldstream and then set about making it fit.
Now ..... a difficult/easy one?

It's just you keep picking places that I have been too and love!
OK guys - here's an easy one ......... naked and non-metric
-
Well, old TD learns something new everyday...........I never knew of the connection between Whitby and Dracula.
Well done unkyUb for a great clue and to camallison for unravelling it. :)
TD gets under bed waiting next round of torture.... :o
ooops, it's arrived.
-
I lived near Whitby as a child and it was obviously of great interest to a 14 year-old avid reader!!!!
Copied from an obscure website for your enjoyment:
What is the connection between Whitby and Dracula? First of all, Whitby figures quite centrally in a significant section of the novel Dracula (Chapters 6-8). It is where the Russian ship "Demeter" comes ashore and is the location of the first encounters between Dracula and Lucy. Today, there are many points of interest for the Dracula enthusiast in Whitby.
One of the highlights is the Bram Stoker Memorial seat. It was the view from this spot that inspired Stoker's Whitby scenes. One can look straight across the harbor and can see the ruins of the Abbey, the Church, and the stone steps. And just to the left is the cliff where the "Demeter" came ashore. There is an inscription on the bench which reads as follows: "The view from this spot inspired Bram Stoker (1847-1912) to use Whitby as the setting of part of his world-famous novel DRACULA. This seat was erected by Scarborough Borough Council and the Dracula Society to mark the 68th Anniversary of Stoker's death - April 20th 1980".
The most prominent landmark in Whitby is the ruin of Whitby Abbey, which was sacked by the Danes. As Stoker writes, "It is a most noble ruin, of immense size, and full of beautiful and romantic bits.... Between it and the town there is another church, the parish one, round which is a big graveyard, all full of tombstones".
It was at Whitby that Stoker "discovered" the name "Dracula." While vacationing there in the summer of 1890, just months after he began writing his vampire novel, he visited the local library and borrowed a book entitled An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia (1820) by William Wilkinson. He took several notes from it (now part of his papers housed at the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia.) Wilkinson's book includes a short section on a "voivode Dracula" who fought against the Turks. Though the information was sketchy, one item attracted Stoker's attention (he copied it verbatim into his notes): a footnote that "Dracula in the Wallachian language means Devil." Stoker decided to change the name of his vampire Count from "Wampyr" to "Dracula". An inspired decision!
-
Thank you for that..........interesting and informative. :)
Now this nudie, imperial loving place...............are we in Angus.................at Inchbare

Too too easy :doh:

Another deductive triumph (with the help of a clue or three) :lol:
Sounds like a place which ships would steer clear of (and maybe butchers too)
-
Ships would steer clear of rocks and rocky headlands.... :)
Butchers :hmm: ........ :idea: butchers....looks....eyes....needles.
The Needles ?
-
Good thinking, but not close I'm afraid.
You need to be less literal, and think about 'sounds like'.
-
Ships would definitely street clear of ROCKALL .... but not sure about butchers . :'( I'm clutching at straws ;D
-
I'm clutching at straws
She's at it again TD. :drunk: :lol:
Ships steer clear of................reef ?
and think about 'sounds like'.
Butchers hook =look

:angel: :angel: ;D
reef ... sounds like beef .... butchers might avoid that because of mad cow disease ..... that makes sense !! to me :'(
could we be in Crieff ??
-
I'm clutching at straws
She's at it again TD. :drunk: :lol:

Big rocks could make ships roll.

What does a big rock do to ships? It xxxxxx xx
Sinks it ... scuttles it .... :'( I can't think of another word :'( it must have 6 letters and the other word is IT ... unless Eric is just posting kisses :lol:
TD, you are my oracle Kitizen ..... come to the rescue !! ;D
-
It's xxxxxx by sea or xxxxxx on sea
?? :-\
-
Ramsbottom...............a butcher would certainly steer clear of that. :lol:
-
:lol:
Going back to my last clue, I said "ships" (plural). The second word is 'em
It's not by the sea.
-
Is it WREXHAM ? .... wrecks em !!!
-
Oooh good one I was thinking Wrekin but couldn't tie the butcher bit up.
-
Well done Kate! :sun: :sun:

I don't know about well done, you almost spelled it out ;D
Here's an easy one .....
Could a person who does this be described as a rap artist ?
-
Wittering (on about nothing) ?
-
I thought you were asking me TD :lol:
No sorry ....
-
Patterdale ? :( :no:
-
No, think closer to home, and that goes for everyone ;) :)
-
Could a rap artist be a drummer ?
Could closer to home be "in"
Are we at Drumin , up the Moray Firth way ? :-\
-
Sorry TD :no: ... not a drummer ... in fact not musical at all !! a thankless task !!
-
>> a thankless task
That was the phrase I used when talking about TD washing his horseless carriage, but I can't see a connection at the moment...
-
No connection with your phrase Eric .... coincidence that's all .... :)
Perhaps you should all look at a new opening ;)
-
rap=knock
but not getting further at the mo'.
-
Oooooooooooooooo Yorkie you're further than anyone else !!! (it's that feminine logic :lol: )
-
Are we in Shropshire, at Knockin ? :-\
-
No :no: sorry TD .... wrong country !! it's obviously not ringing any bells ;)
-
Bells ?
doorbell = press
rap/ thankless task ? = tat
nearer home = in
Prestatyn ::)............... :wall:
-
:lol: :lol: No ... :no: NOT ringing any bells !!!! nearer home !!!!!! but keep knocking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
:no:
Last try, then TD throws in towel.
Keep on........................dun
knocking.......................using a gavel
nearer to home...........home
Dungavel Immigration Centre ?
-
:lol: :lol: where !! ?? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw TD it's not like you to give up !!! :o I've perhaps been toooooooooooooo cryptic ...... Moi ??? :angel:
What do you knock on that's near your home .....? AND this is nearer YOUR home than anyone else's on here .....go on you can do it !!!!! This should OPEN it all up for you !!!!! and this is not the FIRTH big clue I've given you ;)
-
What do you knock on that's near your home .....?
Outside toilet ( to see if its vacant ) :lol:

YES it is Dornoch !!! :-[ :-[ but I think I confused you all .... original clue Could a person who does this be described as a rap artist I thought someone would get rap and knock, knock on door, and it would all be over :no: :no: ... the thankless task was door knocking, salesmen; canvassing :no: :no: knock on near your home (well it is near your home ;D) not ringing any bells -----alternative to door bells ..... and there is a Firth .... I thought that would help .....
I'm going for a lie down now in the NC :(

Singing Scottish spoil-heap may lead you here
-
Spoil heaps are more generally called slag heaps..
There's a place called Slag Hill in North Ayrshire, but I don't see any singing there :)
-
>>>> Spoil heaps are more generally called slag heaps.. <<<<....................ah, but a Scottish spoil heap. ;)
-
Ah ! one of TD's specials ;D I feel refreshed this morning !!
Matt Munro was a singer .... The Munro's are the highest mountains in Scotland ..... is that the link we are looking for ? Could a Scottish soil heap be a mountain or a hill .... as it's a heap of soil :hmm: Or am I complicating things ............ again !! ;)
-
>>>> Or am I complicating things ............ again <<<< ;)
-
OR .... afterthought !! ..... is it Loch Lomond as the song goes Oh! ye'll take the high road and. I'll take the low road .... that road would lead you there :)
-
A Scottish name for a slag heap is a bing.
A singing one could be Bing Crosby.
So is that it ... Crosby?
-
:dance: :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
That's it...............see, no trouble when you bring some logic into it. :D

Many years ago there was a player Billie-Jean King.
If you mean "bird" in it's crude sense, a young girl...............or even a lassie.
Kinglassie, in Fife.......................... :-\
-
Oooooooooooo TD as if I'd be crude :angel: :lol: I think your ornithology interest would come in useful !!
-
OK, come with me to Pembroke... ::)
Second rate British player...........Andrew Castle..
bird .............martin.
Castlemartin ........................ :blush:
-
OK, come with me to Pembroke... I've booked the flight :lol:
No sorry ..... not him ... look further afield .....
-
I suspect that you may have given us a clue in Chit-chat when you mentioned cranes, but it doesn't help :(
-
:no: :no: sorry Eric no 'intentional' clues there ! although a big bird is involved ;)
-
:no: :no: sorry Eric no 'intentional' clues there ! although a big bird is involved ;)
Well the name Albert Ross comes to mind,but I don't think he played tennis. :D
-
Is there a place called Nadalostrich anywhere................... :-[
-
Albert Ross ? :D :no: who is he ? ::)
Is there a place called Nadalostrich anywhere .... if there's not there should be :D
OK ....go to another continent .....find a Queen ;) find the player .... the bird will then be obvious ...and you will have your quarry ;)
-
I've run out of tennis players... :'(
-
:-X :-X :-\ ::) :D
OK I'll try another way 8) 8) ...... non-clerical heavyweight plus a bird !
-
Non-clerical = manual --> Manuel --> Santana / Conde / Diaz :-\
-
:no: non-clerical as in preachers etc., ;)
-
Leighton Buzzard ?
You are too crafty for us.................. :blush:
-
I was nearly there, but I only got as far as Layton or Leyton :'(
-
;D ;D feminine logic >:D
Well done TD :clap2: :clap: :thumbs: :congrats: .. hard luck Eric :flower:...
-
;D
Still don't know who the tennis player is, but I totally ignorant of that sport..... :-[
Will be back
OK, I'll try a sporty one.
Sounds like a cricketing cow
-
Sorry should have explained .... Lleyton Hewitt Australian TP. he won the mens singles at Wimbledon in 2002 ...... that was other continent ...he was born in Adelaide -- Queen ...
big bird .... quarry ... hint that it was a hunter ...... see all very easy peasy :lol:
now to yours :hmm:
-
>>> see all very easy peasy<<<
:silly: :swoon:

Just logging on to confused.com :swoon:
-
:lol:
-
With easy puzzles like Kate's I'm glad she doesn't do difficult ones :crazy:
-
I can if you like Eric ;D
The cricketing cow ... could it be Leatherhead Leather on wood - cricket ... head of cattle ?
OR ...
just had another thought ... Maidenhead .. maiden over ... head of cattle ?
-
Guys,you think her clues are confusing..............just have a read at her answers............. :lol:
No, sorry neither answer is very close.........wrong country !
-
8) and here's me thinking they made perfect sense ::) ... will go and rest my brain and see what tomorrow brings ??? bonne nuit ! :sleep:
-
Is there a place called Jerseylilley ? :shrug2: I know there's a Jersey cow and Dennis Lilley was/is a cricketer ..... that makes sense to me ;) >:D
-
Jerseylilley :o
Don't think so ;D
A cow that played cricket would be quite rare I think.
-
'Rare' makes me think of beef, which links with 'cow'.
A cartoon Botham advertises British beef.
Bothamsall (Notts) ?
-
:no: Sorry. Further oop north.
That Botham was a breed apart, wasn't he ?
-
I think there's another clue lurking in that Botham comment .... I've been ALL OVER Scotland on the Google map, I'm exhausted ;D and I've still not found any cows, or cricketers .... are we in the Scottish Highlands, breed (of cattle) apart .... Island ??? Outer Hebrides ?? Hebridean cattle ? Outer .... outfield in cricket .... :wall: :wall:
-
Not the highlands.
You've had two extra clues already.....how many do you want, for goodness sake :lol:
-
"Oop north" sounds like stage Yorkshire - is that where we are?
-
No, sorry that was a bit of a misleading word misuse by me. :blush:
Lowland Scotland.
-
Are you giving us duff information TD :lol:
there's Angus Fraser who is a cricketer ... and Angus cattle as in Aberdeen Angus .... rare breed So it ANGUS but that's a county isn't it ?? :'( I've got a headache :-X
-
rare breed ;)
Think of Latin speaking soldiers on the march......left right left right
There, yet another perfectly clear clue :D
-
>>Rare breed<< =Galloway.?
Somewhere in Dumfries and Galloway methinks
Alec Stewart =cricketer
Would it be Newton Stewart
-
You're in the right general location, unkyUb, but not quite there...........not Galloway cows.
Older, rare breed..............left right in Latin :)
-
laeva dextera :-\ :-\ :hmm: off to look at the map ....... again ::) :)
There are Dexter cattle :-X ..............aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh :-X
-
and again ..... Not KirkCUDbright ;D..... I've confused myself now ! I've lost the plot :'(
-
>>>>There are Dexter cattle <<<< ;)
-
Ted Dexter was a cricketer of course. There's a place called Dexter in Scotland, Missouri ;D
-
Aaaaaaaaargh....................the Dexter name I was thinking of is/was not a cricketer, he is/was an author................ :-[
I have indeed been misleading you all :'(
Was thinking of Colin Dexter, leading you the town of Collin.
Sorry all, TD retires in disgrace...... ???
-
Whoops :lol:
-
:-[
-
:o :o and I'M confusing :lol: :lol: :lol: TD have a :drunk: :drunk: you'll need one in the NC :lol:
PS... TD .... I shall think of you as Morse from now on :lol:
-
Can I leap in with one then? :-\
Orange coloured cement?
-
Could it be Reddish in Cheshire ?
-
Sorry, no :)
-
Orange is sort of red, and you would use cement if you were to point your house.
Redpoint, up there in caber tossing country ? :)
-
Saffron is orange, but I can't get the other bit to fit.
-
Neither of you is warm I'm afraid. It's probably better to forget the orange bit for the moment and think about the cement.
-
Neither of you is warm I'm afraid. It's probably better to forget the orange bit for the moment and think about the cement.
Portland
-
Neither of you is warm I'm afraid. It's probably better to forget the orange bit for the moment and think about the cement.
Portland
Good thinking unkyUb, and as a lot of varieties of birds have orange beaks, could it be Portland Bill ?
-
Could it be York !!!!
now here's my reasoning ....... :lol: cement - stone -- York stone ..... orange ----- egg yolks can be yellowy/orange :'( yolk .. York ..... :-\ and no... I'm not yolking :lol:
-
That female logic again :)
I'm afraid TD has got it (with a lot of help from Unc). The orange connection was William of Orange ('Bill').
-
Oh............... I sort of slipped in by the back door
UnkyUb did all the hard work there, he should have a go now.... :)
ps...........thank goodness we didn't have to try and untangle scottiesmum's answer..............phew. :lol:
-
;D Well done Unc and TD :clap2: :clap2:...... my logic would never have arrived there ::)
-
Well my building trade background came in useful.I remember It always saying Portland on bags of cement. :D
Right................
This man of title has lost his rubber
-
Would the man of title be a Knight ?
A rubber may be a game of bridge.
Knightsbridge ? :no:
-
No to all of them TD . :no:
-
:'(
-
John Boyd Dunlop ...... was he ever a "Sir", and is there a place named John Boyd? ....... take away the "rubber"
-
Did Dukinfield Cheshire, ever have any rubber connections ?
-
No to both of you,sorry :no:
Clue,its not a 'sir'
and its south of Watford.
-
A man of title could be an author.
Christopher Marlowe, take away the e for eraser ( rubber) and you have Marlow.
Are we at Marlow ? :)
-
Are we at Marlow ?
No,sorry. :no:
Try thinking of rubber not in the material sense
-
Bounce..bound....spring...game....? :-\
Coarse file or rasp ? ???
TD wanders... :blush:
-
TD wanders...
I hope it's in the right direction TD ... I'm totally lost ;D
-
Clue,
Both of you should 'wander' in to the capital
-
Lords Cricket Ground ??
-
Now, unkyUb was/is in the building and joinery trade and could possibly have used a plane to "rub down" wood....................possibly even a jack-plane.
But the jack- plane (rubber) is lost.............no JACK
Man of title.............Jack London.........................is it London.
-
Lords Cricket Ground ??
No sorry :no:
but think of 'rubber' in a sporty sense.
-
Now, unkyUb was/is in the building and joinery trade
Its funny you should mention that TD because this place had a work connection for me in the past and some fond memories.
-
Are we at a football venue ?
Not the best club in the UK ? :lol: :lol: there was a Lord Stamford ... Stamford Bridge
-
Are we at a football venue ?
Not the best club in the UK ? :lol: :lol: there was a Lord Stamford ... Stamford Bridge
No not a football club,but you are in the right area of London ;)
-
mmmmmmmmmm Kensington and Chelsea :hmm:
-
mmmmmmmmmm Kensington and Chelsea :hmm:
:no:
-
:o not that area ! ?
-
Quite near,I used to walk past Chelsea football ground from this place to Fulham.
-
Earls Court ?
-
This man of title =Earl
Rubber = tennis = court
=Earls Court. :dance: :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
:doh: Well done TD :clap2: :thumbs: :clap: I knew you were a tennis expert really ! ;D
-
Well done TD and also Kate. :)
I worked in and around Earl's Court for 2 years 1986-88 re-furbishing old properties into luxury apartments,
It thought I would put this in as only couple of weeks ago,one of the 'lads' who was part of our team died.He was only 62. :(
-
Of course, I knew it all the time.............was just toying with you all... :lol:
UnkyUb is getting too good at this. :silly:
Will be back anon with TD's revenge.
ps just read your post.............that is sad, losing a mate and at such a young age. Keep the memories. :)
-
ps just read your post.............that is sad, losing a mate and at such a young age. Keep the memories. :)
And there were some.
One thing that still makes me laugh is the London architect who we worked for always refered to us as 'You chaps from the north'.I think he had this image of us all charging down the M1 in loin clothes with painted faces and wielding axes. :D
-

He was probably not too far off the mark... :lol:
-
:lol: Nice memories Unc ....
-
Here we go.......
Beats the meats
-
Has the clue changed or am I hallucinating ?? :-X :'(
I thought it said Beat the fictional porcine royalty :-\
anyway ........... are we in Nelson .......... fictional pigs ... Animal Farm ... Napoleon was a pig (in the literary sense !!) Napoleon was an emperor - royal .. and Nelson beat him ??
how's that for feminine logic ;D
-
Yes, the clue has changed a bit................ :-[...............the royalty bit does not come into it.
TD is loosing the place..just ignore him and he will go away... :-X
-
:drunk: :drunk: :lol:
that's quaite allraight TD pleases don't go away !!!! .. but are we in Nelson ? :lol:
-
OR ......
Hammersmith ..... Hammer beat ..... Hammersmith market - meat market :-\
-
:-[
Not Nelson, not 'ammersmiff
On the coast a bit westing and south.
-
:no: :no: I've been touring with the Google map and I CANNOT find anything that "beats the meats" ... I'm going home ;D but will continue to think !
-
Beats....................?
-
Sorry I was absent yesterday, but my brain cell is refreshed and firing again today.
Having consulted my thesaurus, there are about three million synonyms for 'beat'...
South and west of Nelson is Chester, and 'beat' could be 'win', so I want to say Winchester, but I don't see any meat connection. :(
-
I looked at Winchester too Eric ....then discounted it ! AND at all the synonyms too :'( :'( I'm lost :cry2: :cry2:
-
Here's a wilder one:
beat = whip
snade = barbecue sauce which you put on meat
Whipsnade :no:
-
Winchester, Whipsnade...... :no:
>> 'beat' could be 'win'<< ;)
-
Wincanton (race course)
Beats = win
meats(wrong spelling I know) = race meeting........... :help:
-
Winsham?
-
:clap2: :dance: :clap: :thumbs:
Got to give it to roseway.
Was really thinking of Topsham, but Winsham is good enough. ;D
Wonder what is coming next... :-\ :swoon:
-
Oooooooooooo well done Eric :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Wonder what is coming next... :crazy: :help: :swoon:
-
Nice one Eric............. :thumbs:
-
Lol - I just came up with a really cryptic one, if I can be so rude as to jump in....
Isolated land after 80% offspring of a well known Female
>:D
-
Lol - I just came up with a really cryptic one, if I can be so rude as to jump in....
Isolated land after 80% offspring of a well known Female
>:D
:swoon:
-
Yikes... it is a
bit LOT cryptic
And yes, the letters in bold are a clue, if that helps at all!
-
:swoon:
-
Ironbridge?
-
FEmale
Iron Lady................Maragret Thatcher...................
The Marsh family comprised "Little Women"............was one of them Margaret ?
Margaret Marsh in Dorset. ?
-
Thatcham in Berkshire ?? :lol:@ we all have the same FEmale in mind
-
Well done for getting the Iron reference, and then the Iron Lady bit... but she's only indirectly related. Definitely along the right lines though, just make sure you don't get stranded.
;)
-
Oooops, forget mine.............Little Women were the March family and no Margaret. :-[
Back to the drawing board.. :(
-
Carol Thatcher could be the offspring. 80% of Carol is Caro... ?
-
Oooh ... getting a lot warmer.... not quite though - gonna see what happens for a bit rather than give any more clues at the moment.
(and no, there isn't a clue in my post!)
-
Carlisle?
-
Yay well done :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Bit of a weird / naff clue really... I thought I was being clever at the time.. I'll leave it to the pros from now on heh ;)
-
Nothing naff about it. Just a matter of male logic 8)
I'll be back in a bit...
-
Nothing naff about it. Just a matter of male logic ............. :o frightening stuff :lol: .............. :clap2: :clap2: Eric !
-
Would you use this to colour a jelly?
-
Paignton ( paint on ) :-\
-
Sorry, but good try :)
-
I didn't think there was a place in the UK called "E124" ... yeah ok i'll get me coat :doh:
-
:lol:
-
:D
Greenwich ?
Wich hazel, alternative spelling for witch hazel, is a sort of jelly ?
-
Sorry, no. It's not so much a full colouring as a suggestion of colour.
-
Tint a gel
Tintagel............ :)
-
Ooooooooo that's a clever TD .. I wonder ?
-
Yes, TD has got it :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:

Woohoo :D

-
Hendry Moore was a sculptor

Grassmoor ?
-
Sorry TD - kate's got it in one... I said it was easy :D
Still in shock from getting one right myself ;)
-
Oooooooooooo my brains come back .... . well !!! ;D
Look after this swimmer !
-
I can't find Bark Island Unc :'(
It's about as far away from the sea as you can get. I think Unc may have forgotten about the 'estuary' part of the clue :lol:
-
I can't find Bark Island Unc :'(
Slightly south of Sowerby Bridge and in between Ripponden and Elland (West Yorkshire) ;)
Barkisland (one word)
It's about as far away from the sea as you can get. I think Unc may have forgotten about the 'estuary' part of the clue
I thought it was a trick question. :lol:
-
Fishguard :)
-
VOILA !! :clap2: :clap2: :thumbs: toooooooooooooooooooo easy ::) ;D
I thought it was a trick question.
I thought ALL TD 's were trick questions :lol: :lol:
......anyway Unc ... it certainly was a trick answer ... Barkisland :'( :lol:
-
OK, Kitizens.........now sober up. It's time to bring some seriousness back into this....... :D
Here we go.
Receptacles for building material
-
Well, SKIPton comes to immediate mind .... but I have a feeling that's too obvious :-\
-
:no: :)
-
Brick Houses ?
-
:no: Anything but brick :)
-
Clayholes ?
-
:no:
Possibly North American house material :)
-
Woodstock ??
-
Right material, wrong receptacle.
Some houses have got a room for this. :)
-
Woodhall Spa ......Lincolnshire
-
I thought it was a trick question. [/b]
......anyway Unc ... it certainly was a trick answer ... Barkisland :'( :lol:
There is a Barkisland,its just that they haven't got round to putting in an estuary yet........... :lol:
http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/sectionhome.aspx?sectionid=5548
-
Woodhouses ?
-
Woodhouses ?
I thought Woodhouse,but because its an area in Sheffield (amongst other places) I discarded it........did I do wrong............. :hmm:
I'll stick with Woodhall Spa.
http://www.sheffieldhomes.org.uk/your-area/south-east/about-the-area/woodhouse
-
Woodhouses is a village near Oldham, but I don't think it's the right answer, having looked again at TD's last clue. :(
-
Not Woodhouses :no: , nor Woodhall Spa ( stayed there once for a few days. most enjoyable........thata not a clue)
Take wood to the thesaurus, then have a bath . :)
-
wood = Log
Bath = stone cold
Logie Coldstone in Scotland. :shrug2:
-
:D Sorry no.
This wood stuff could also sound like a region of ones back.
-
Clumber Park?
-
Lumbutts ?
-
Neither of these, but you have the idea.
We are in Northamptoshire...........................( remember the bath****)
-
Are you saying the first word is bath or is it just a clue. :help: :hmm:
-
bath**** is a clue, what holds the water.........maragrine as well sometimes. :)
-
well you get margerine in tubs,but tubs are not usually receptables for building materials...........unless tubs=trugs.Tubs of putty,tubs of filler....................(https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdl3.glitter-graphics.net%2Fpub%2F975%2F975443lfyp4s0fou.jpg&hash=670637e194447a2deaad3c335b6222170986412e) (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)

No, but there is a place called Lumbertubs, ne corner of Northampton town.
Close enough, you win. :)
-
Good heavens, so there is. It's not even mentioned in my map book. I'd better let all the brains cool down with an easy one:
This sounds like an excessive punishment

TD, that's a very dangerous invite at this time :lol: :lol:
Ps.. think it's the right answer though ... ;)
-
>>>TD, that's a very dangerous invite at this time <<<
Can't understand why you say that.... :D

Shall I give you clue :lol: :lol:
-
TD got it straight away. :silly: :ouch:

Much warmer vessel, said the man from Bow
-
Much warmer vessel ............. is that rhyming slang having regard to the Bow clue ??
-
Not rhyming slang... :no:
-
Would the man from Bow translate to bowman ... Robin Hood ... are we in Nottinghamshire ?
There is a place called Southwell, Nottinghamshire .............. South would be warmer ! and well could be described as a vessel :'(
-
:no:
Bow Bells
-
so my cockney reference was closer :'( back to the drawing board :D
Didn't Dick Whittington have something to do with Bow bells ?? There's rhyme about Bow Bells :hmm:.... I'm thinking aloud ;D
-
>>>The man from Bow<<<< Bow street runner =policeman ?? (Living in an obscure corner of Northampton) :lol:
-
:-[ :lol:
much warmer, in a Bow Bells accent ( with a musteline connection)
-
So to recap,policeman with a cockney accent,with a furry animal connection ............. :-X
-
You're on the ball, unkyUb............. :lol:
Not sure where the copper came from, 'aven't a clue, in fact.
-
Dick Whittington had a cat .... furry animal !
-
Much warmer in a cockney accent ( an otter is a musteline ) :wall: :lol:
-
I no speaka de langwidge ..... :lol:
a watter otter could be a ....... kettle ;)
-
:lol:
Let me be even more obscure.
The first word of the two word answer is Otter.............now put a vessel on after that ( a mrine vessel that is ) :-X
-
Otter Ferry, on the shores of Loch Fyne .......................
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
UnkyUb wins...

Well done Unc :thumbs:

:)
Here's an easy one for Sunday morning
She needed a lift to do her hair.
-
Are we in Somerset, at Downhead ? :-\
-
No,not in Somerset.
Clue 1.
Its south of Birmingham (That narrows it down) :D
-
Oooooooo another one goody !! well done Unc :clap2: :clap2: off to :hmm:
Could we be in High Wycombe in Bucks ? High (lift) hair Comb ???
-
Ooooooooh,no but getting there
-
Maidenhead ?
-
Nice try but no. :no:
You need to look further west.
-
Hungerford? (as in Gloria)
-
I am intrigued by unkyUb's use of the past tense in the original clue, so I thought of historical figures, female, who had especial references to her hair.
Lady Godiva rode through the streets of Coventry wearing nothing but her long hair, and on a high horse.
Are we at Coventry ? :-\
-
No to Hungerford...........Gloria. :lol:
Not Coventry,but getting nearer
Go back to Kate's guess ............
-
I've been 'travelling' around High Wycombe for a while ;D There is a village to the west called TEMPLECOMBE High Temple ... Lift .... ? ? Comb as in hair ? ?
-
Are we in Gloucestershire.............at Winchcombe ?
-
Are we in Gloucestershire.............at Winchcombe ?
In a word.......................YES :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
Kate was nearly there,she was just using the wrong 'comb'.I think she needs to change her hairdresser :D
She needed a lift to do her hair.
Lift = winch, do her hair = comb.......Winchcombe. :)
We have camped there before,its lovely,just on the edge of the Cotswolds
-
Woohoooooo :D
This one is a fictional place.
"A holy house follows cardinal rage"
-
>>A holy house<<<
Could be.....vicarage,church,temple,mosque,abbey,cathederal,synagogue............that narrows it down a bit. :D
>>cardinal rage<<
the mad bishop ??
Bishops Cross ?
-
Well, you have mentioned the holy house............. :lol:
A Bishop is not a cardinal.........that's the point :)
-
I was thinking in cardinal red terms ? ie red rage, temper ? as I thought TD might have put a capital letter for a Cardinal if it was a person ? ..... I shall now go and choose a holy house out of Unc's list !
-
Cardinal is the main point
Don't forget it is fictional. :)
-
Are we in Trollope's Barchester Towers ?
-
Nooooooo, but on the right lines. :)
-
Is this connected to the a point of the compass ? ... cardinal points !
-
;)
-
I've confused myself now :( we're not in Utopia are we ..?
-
No,sorry. :(
cardinal point..rage...holy house. (two word title)
-
:doh: Northanger Abbey !
-
:clap2: :dance: :thumbs: :clap:
Wayhay....... well done, that's it,,, ;D
-
That was a very clever clue TD .... :clap2:
back soon ......
OK ...
could be described as an almighty dynasty !
-
Godalming ? :)
Almighty...God
Dynasty......Ming
-
Ooooooooooooooo goodness :o straight away ! -- felicitations TD :clap2: :clap2: (far too easy !! will have to be a little craftier in future ;D )
-
:D
Will be back.... >:D
I'm back... ;D
Top quality males only at this game.
-
Top quality = best
Males = men, boys, or maybe drakes

-
Not boys or drakes.. :)

Males = Man

There's a place called Marple Bridge, but that doesn't quite get there..
How about Kojak-after-Ford? (maybe not :) )

A firth, as well as being a body of water is an extension, projection which could apply to a crossing of some sort .... Holmes was a detective ..... am I completely off track in Holmfirth in West Yorkshire ? :)

@scottiesmum..................sigh.. :no:
-
Are you being really really cryptic here ... you mention Al Capone ..... alternative crossing (could of course, now he's been mentioned, be the hint to Al Capone) OR is the alternative crossing of crossing over ... dying, which he did !!!! and he's buried at a place called Brent in the USA ... are we at the London Borough of Brent or am I away with the fairies ? (don't say again !! :lol:)

Capone led you to Ness..........you can forget Capone now.

You know, your answers are more confusing than your clues.... :lol:

This is my little mind again ::) approach grounds ... approach - WAY , driveway to grounds ! orderly ...... straight ... honest, VERILY ... are we at WAVERLEY in Surrey ? or is it another of my far fetched answers ;D
-
>>> or is it another of my far fetched answers <<< ;)
:D
-
:-\ does that mean part of it's correct ? you don't need to tell me which part ... it's more fun ::) :wall:

The correct bit was that your idea was far fetched.... :D.............way off the mark :(
This orderly approach.....where and when might we do that ? Wouldn't want to upset anybody else.. :no:
-
where and when might we do that ?
I do it all the time :angel: :angel: :lol: back to the map !

Now, let's see, a nice easy one for you:
Frequent repetition
-
Drum in......
Drumin, in Morayshire... :-\
-
Sorry, no :)
-
Frequent can be defined as common - repetition ... hand clapping is repetition ... are we at Clapham Common ?
-
Not close I'm afraid, but the railway system at Clapham suggests the right grammatical device ;)
-
it could of course mean a conjunction :'( a junction co-ordinates things ..... One coordinated conjunction is FOR .... could we be in Forfar (which is almost repetitive )
-
:)
>> it could of course mean a conjunction ;)
-
Ooooooo confused myself there and changed my post .. but you were too quick for me Eric ...
One coordinated conjunction is FOR .... could we be in Forfar (which is almost repetitive )
-
conjunction...............and
repetition..............over and over again.
Andover ? :)

Oooooooo I like that TD !

Great Snoring, in Norfolk..... :-\

-
:'(
-
A type of sleep and a type of chopper,put them together and...............

Axmouth? :-\
-
Part right Eric
-
Axminster ? (the carpet could be the sleep reference :) )
-
Are we in HAXBY ? HAX (a posh Axe ;D ) BY (bye byes was used as referring to sleep to children ... I think :-\ )
-
No sorry, you have both got the 'ax' bit right...............just go for a little snooze and you might get there.
-
Are we in Lincolnshire.........................Haxey.....................( hit the hay)....? :no:
-
No sorry...............and not Lincolnshire......further north(slightly)
-
Drax ?
-
No,but right county ;)
-

but didn't think of kip Neither did the Thesaurus :no: :D
-
Wake up, you lot.........no more of this dozing off. :)
Here we go ( it's so easy that you will post the answer before I post the clue ;D )
Doric price list
-
are we at Old Toll in Ayrshire ?
-
:no:
-
why not ? :lol: :lol:
My logic (for what it's worth ;D) Doric - classical - ancient - OLD Price List - tariff .... TOLL :'(
-
:-X
-
There's a place called Columnjohn, but i suppose that would be a Doric lavatory, not a price list :)
-
There's a place called Columnjohn, but i suppose that would be a Doric lavatory, not a price list :)
:lol:
:no:
-
He's not giving anything away is he Eric :lol:
-
:no:
-
Very economical with the hints, is TD :mad:
-
>:D
ps it's because I'm speaking a different dialect.
-
are you calling columns pillars perhaps ?
-
Or a "wee postie" :lol:
-
:lol: does he not bring the mail ? :lol:
-
I don't think I mentioned columns or pillars..... :hmm:
And a dialect is not an accent..! :)
-
Ooh! Big clue. Doric is a Scottish dialect.
Now, what's Doric for price list, I wonder...
Gie's a bosie!
-
>>>> Doric is a Scottish dialect.<<<< ;)
Which part of the country ? :)
-
North-east Scotland, around Aberdeen...
Turriff ? (tariff)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:

Singers on a collision course?

Oooooooo well done Eric :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Now off to find these singers on a collision course ..... ;)
-
>>>je souhaite que vous parlassiez clair en anglais<<<
:graduate:
-
Ici on parle Doric :)
-
:lol:
-
:D
Is there any clue as to whether these singers are human or avian...? :hmm:
-
Definitely human (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emotionless.co.uk%2Femotes%2Fcel%2Fmusic11.gif&hash=0f3d8ba09fd749c8c5335d2f8be1c058552c9994)
-
Singers = band, collision course = head on............Band Drake Head in Cumbria?
-
There is a Bandrake Head in Cumbria .... Band - singers .... Head ... collision (note sure about the rake ;D .. although I suppose if you threw a rake at a band it could cause a collision ::) )
-
Singret Wrexham ? :-\ :'(
-
Sorry, you're not warm. Think about 'collision', the singers are secondary.
-
One of the Hampshire Wallops perhaps... :-\
-
Butt - collision Sole - soul singers :-\ BUTTSOLE in Kent ?
-
>> One of the Hampshire Wallops perhaps
A cousin of mine married one of them :lol:
Sorry, no to both (but quite ingenious). :)
If the noun is 'collision', the verb is...
-
There are a couple of towns/villages prefixed CLASH ..... clash being a synonym of collide and also a group !! are we warm ? Clashnoir, Moray, Scotland perhaps ??
-
Maybe I'm being a bit obscure >:D
Think of 'collide' in a scientific context...
-
Eric,
Think of 'collide' in a scientific context... :-X :-X fusion .... confusion :lol:
-
Hmmmmmmmm...................collide, nuclear boom-boom...........there is a
singin pop group called atomic kitten, I believe.
Atomic Research Establishment at Aldermaston ?
-
This is like pulling teeth >:(
What scientific project has 'collide' in its name, and who operates it?
-
CERN..............Large Hadron Collider
Cern..............Cerne Abbas :-\
-
Well done TD :clap2: :clap2:
-
I must be thick, still can't see the "singers" connection... :hmm:
Not to worry, try this one..... :)
Sounds like spice bounded by stone perhaps. ;D
-
I can see the singer connection TD .. ABBA !!! it's just that I had to wait for you to get the answer :lol:
I don't like the look of that grin following your new clue :o :D

Aha, I see now. Please excuse my ignorance of the great world of pop. :-[
-
Don't let it worry you TD. I'm not a fan of pop music either. But 'Dancing Queen' was produced over 30 years ago. :lol:
-
Any way: to the serious business :)
There are rather a lot of spices. (http://www.theepicentre.com/Spices/spiceref.html) :( So let's start with the stone: pebble, rock, boulder, jewel, gem...
I must go away and have a think.
-
Clovenstone, Aberdeenshire ? perhaps !
-
OR ... Saffron's Cross, Herefordshire ....... could be a stone cross !
-
@ scottiesmum..................interesting, very interesting.
But..... bounded by stone perhaps ?

I might have known.......... :doh: :D
Talking of passes,I remember when we stayed at Lake Bala 4 years ago.We had a drive to lake Vyrnwy via the Hirnant Pass. :scare:
Sue was driving and really enjoying it,I was sat in the passenger seat...............whimpering :baby:

If you're going to talk dirty I'm not sure I should partake :angel: :lol: :lol: ........................ (I think the intrepid TD has it again :D)

Wooohoooo........ :D
Hokaydokey, easy one for you all.
A church near a belt ?

-
:no:
I may have taken the clue too literally...... ;)
-
Chapel Green?
-
:no: sorry.
-
Covent Garden ?
or define 'belt'.............conveyor,green, commuter,trouser,or a type of belt............ :-X I feel a migrane coming on. :D
-
:no:
Further north.
Give some consideration to the belt
-
Give some consideration to the belt
LeatherHead ......or could it be broad ........................
-
:no:
A bit more specific about the belt
-
:no:
A bit more specific about the belt
Could this be a certain coloured belt :hmm:

Impressive, certainly.. :)

God help us if you make'em hard............ :swoon:

Are we at Newhouse, N. Lanarkshire ?
-
You're moving in the right direction but not quite grand enough.
-
>> You're moving in the right direction but not quite grand enough.
Newcastle
-
Kitz is very nearly there. What might happen to the new castle if it isn't as good as the old one? (This part of the clue is a bit feeble, I have to admit, and that's not another clue :) )
-
You might regret, or rue, buying it..... :-\
Ruecastle ?
-
No, there was nothing wrong in Kitz' answer, just not enough of it. :)
-
Newcastle-under-Lyme..................... :shrug2:
-
Newcastle under Lyme perhaps ? :'( although I don't know why :-\ does a dilapidated castle get 'lime rot' ?? :-X
Woooooooooops snap TD ! ;D
-
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
-
TD got it :clap2: :clap2:
The connection was that people used to bury dead bodies with lime in times of plague, and that's what might happen to a new castle which isn't as good as the old one. I said it was a feeble clue. :-[
-
:-X
:lol:
Scottiesmum got it at the same time.............so ladies first. :)
Will await an easy one from her............ :scare: :swoon:

-
Husbands Bosworth.........?.............. :-X
-
:no:
You were closer the first time (syntactically, not geographically)
-
Beauworth in Hampshire............... :-\
-
:no:
You're looking for something less polite than 'beau'.

>>>I take it we are in Scotland,west coast,mainland<<<< ;)
Pretty far west as well... :)

>>>I take it we are in Scotland,west coast,mainland<<<< ;)
Pretty far west as well... :)
Is that west as in Islands or mainland...............Are we on Kintyre by any chance.
-
Mainland, but further north than Kintyre........and you can't get much further west.. ;)
-
The kyle of Lochalsh.........still can't get the 'techie' bit
Are we in the 'Ardnamurchan' area........that looks the most westerly mainland area(its hard to tell whats mainland and whats islands up there) :D
-
>>>'Ardnamurchan' area<<< :graduate:
Ardnamurchan point is indeed the most westerly point on the UK mainland... :)
But we are not at the "pointy" end... ;)

A bit mean really, letting Unc do all the work, then leaping in with the answer. :crazy: :crazy:
A very easy one for you:
Polygamy is the route to this destination
-
Well, more wives could lead to Morebattle............. :lol:
-
;D :no:
-
:(
Polygamy is the fact of having one wife too many.............thus making it exactly the same as monogamy
:D
-
I couldn't possibly comment :lol:
-
Warcop.................... ::)
-
:no: :no: :no:
You need to think about 'route' and 'destination'.
-
Hampton Court ?
-
Sorry, no :)
We're talking about a chance meeting between the narrator and the polygamist
-
Do the names Joseph or Smith come into this ?.............. ??? :-\ :no:
-
I'm afraid not.
The narrator was on his way to the destination when he encountered the polygamist and sundry other bodies.
-
Canterbury ? :-\
-
A long way west of there ;)
-
Bath............... :)
-
You're heading in the right direction.
"As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he'd go away"
;)
-
This seems to be giving some difficulty. I bet scottiesmum would have got it by now, with her
peculiar particular logic. :)
The rhyme above is a big clue, particularly the first two lines...
-
Yup, TD is struggling on this one..... :'(
Wild guess at Hay-on-Wye.............. :no:
-
Sorry :no: :wall: :wall: :wall:
"As I was going ...
I met a man ..."
-
St Ives ?
-
Yes! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
And every wife had seven sacks
And every sack had seven cats
And every cat had seven kits
Kits, cats, sacks, wives
How many were going to St Ives?
-
Well done unkyUb, I was totaly lost with that one............although you might not have guessed it... ;D
Whatever is coming next.... :scare:
-
As soon as Eric's clue said..........I met a man....The penny dropped. :)
OK.............
Can't see my tipple.............
-
I know that poor unkyUb is forced to take his medicine on a Sunday................. :drink:
Could the tipple be good Yorkshire Ale ?
Are we at Tadcaster ?
Can't fit in the not seeing bit..........but maybe that comes after the Yorkshire Ale.... :D
-
Made me laugh TD,but wrong :D
Its not Yorkshire/or beer
-
>> Can't see my tipple
Sounds like youre blind drunk :drunk:
/me makes a quick exit
-
:hmm:
Hidden Spring Vineyard at Horum, in Sussex.................?............. :-\
-
No,sorry, :no:
You need to be in the land of the Daffodil.
Think about the 'drink'
-
Could the drink be port ?
Can't see................have no eyes......eye none.......einon
Port Einon, near Swansea.................... :-\
-
Port Eynon (with a Y) :D
Tipple = Port, can't see = Eynon :D
You got it...... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:

Ooohooo............. :D

Will be back. ;D
okeydokey.....easy one...
liquid not used in nuclear reaction
-
I'm having trouble starting with this one, but I'll poke a bit...
Nuclear reaction could be fission or fusion, or it could be an anagram of 'nuclear'
Liquid not used = dry
:help:
-
Possibly isotope deuterium may assist..... :)
-
Hmm.. deuterium is used in nuclear fusion, and is obtained from heavy water.
It's also used as a moderator ( :) ) in nuclear reactors to produce plutonium.
All of which is very educational but not getting me anywhere. I would put on my thinking cap, but I can't remember where I left it.
-
>>>>heavy water.<<<<< ;)
but we won't use that..... :)
-
Lightwater :doh:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
That's it.................... :D
-
If you lead me by the nose, I get there in the end. ;D
Now, let's see...
This island sounds as though it's in completely the wrong part of the country.
-
Anglesey.................. :-\
-
Sorry, that's a long way away.
-
:hmm:..........there is Wallasey in the Wirrel and there is Wallasea Island in Essex.
You stress "long"............that doesn't fit above.........so must be wrong.... :(
-
>> so must be wrong
I'm afraid so, but your second answer is getting warm ;)
-
You would expect to find an island in the sea..................... No sea island..?.............Osea Island. :-\
-
:no:
There's a Liverpool connection...
-
River Mersey.................Mersea Island ? :-\
-
That's it :clap2: :drink:
-
:D

b road nuisance
Potholes,narrow,bumpy,no passing places,no line markings,................no idea. :shrug2:
-
As you made a fine mess of that message, Phil, I've tidied it up for you. :lol:

It's going to take a while to pass this one.... ;)
-
Caravans and tractors are difficult to pass on narrow roads, but those aren't place names. :)
-
Is there such a place as Wideload in the UK , hidden away in those Scottish hills ? :D
-
@ scottiesmum............Noooooo, but.....so close.. :)
@ roseway..........close, so close.... :)

Whoever solves this one will be awarded with a glass of nice scrumpy.. :)

There's a Waddington in Lancashire..... :-\
-

:no: sorry
-
Hmmm :hmm:............have we hit the buffers with this one...?
-
I was already thinking about railway termini, but not making much headway. :(
-
Here's some more feminine logic .... Beware :lol:
Are we in Fenwick in Northumberland ... this is the logic Fen (from fender - buffer) Wick .... shortened sound of week - seven days ?? :'(
-
:lol:
:-X
:no:
-
Station Town, nr Hartlepool ?
-
:no: sorry.
On a lovely day like today, TD starts to think of strawberrys and nice double cream :)
Keep thinking of station names.
-
strawberrys and nice double cream
Well Wimbledon springs to mind,don't think they have a raiway station there,apart from the tube.
-
:no:.............................hmmm cream from contented cows living in................?
-
I'm looking at Devon ? Does week come into at all - 7 days ? because I'm awfully confused :'(
-
The location we want is in Devon.... ;)
The railway station, the name of which is required, is not in Devon...
week... ;)
-
:no:.............................hmmm cream from contented cows living in................?
Clover..............Clovelly,Clovelly Cross...................Station = ..............Cross :no:
-
Weeks-in-the-Moor ? :no:

Cannon Street
Charing Cross
Euston
Fenchurch Street
Holborn Viaduct
Kings Cross
Liverpool Street
London Bridge
Marylebone
Moorgate
Paddington
St. Pancras
Victoria
Waterloo
???
-
The station is mentioned in roseway's list..... :)
We want it pre-canonisation though..!
-
Cannon Street..............There's a Canon Town in Devon..................
-
:no: sorry, unkyUb.. :(
-
Bishopsgate
-
:no: sorry again.............even higher uo the holy tree... :)
-
Blackfriars Station was originally called St Pauls...
-
:no: but that is interesting.. :)
-
St Pancras
-
Aha............. ;)
but delete the canonisation :)
-
:swoon:
Kings Cross

Anyway,well done the birthday boy. :thumbs: :clap: :thumbs:

>>>If I live to be 100 I will still not have grasped your clues TD <<<
I have the same problem, unkyUb......... :'(................. :lol:
-
:)
A marine source of drinking water
-
Are we in Kent.........at Seabrook.... :-\
-
Sorry :no:
-
Pancrasweek I've NEVER heard of it ..... :o :o it sounds like an ailment :lol:
well done Eric :clap2: :clap2: it's obviously that extra year of brainpower :D
-
Seascale :no:
-
Shiplake, near Oxford.....? :(
-
>> it sounds like an ailment :lol:
Sorry, you're not close yet. Think about where drinking water comes from.
-
Springwell,Tyne and Wear ?
-
Are we in Wells -Next - the- Sea, in Norfolk ?
-
The lady dunnit! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
-
:o WELL ! ( pun intended :D) this is very strange but I also won with this answer in February :'( the clue then was given by Unc !! Isn't that strange :-\ There must be something about Wells Next The Sea that clicks in my brain ;D
I'll be back when I've found one to puzzle you >:D
OK ... 007 connection !
-
Blofield ? :-\

Eric, I'm going to give you that !! I was actually looking at Lazonby in Cumbria but I can't be that cruel :angel: :angel: ... especially on your birthday :D :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :congrats:
-
Ooh, thanks :)
I'll see if I can think of one which hasn't been used before...
A place for born-again sailors ?
-
Are we looking for a lighthouse......? :-\
-
There's probably one nearby, but I don't think that will help.
-
Are we at Marine Town (Sheerness) in Kent ?
-
Sorry, No. The 'born-again' part is significant.
(I'm closing down now for several hours.)
-
Sailors would be found in a port..
Does born again signify multiple births, such as quins ???
Port Quin, in Cornwall...???? :no:
-
:no:
Born again has the usual meaning of someone making a fresh start.
-
Freshwater on the Isle of Wight..... :(
-
You need a different word for fresh...
-
Bourton on the water
(said in a thick accent - boart/boat)... Ok not very good at these am I :'(
-
Sorry, no :D
(I mean no to the answer, I'm not agreeing with your question at the end. :) )
-
fresh=new=virginal......
Virginia Water >>>> :-\
-
Newport?
-
( guests have just left fully replete ....)
so I've nipped in here for a rest ;D Are we at Newark ? .... I suppose Noah could be described a sailor :'(
-
OR ....
Newquay perhaps ? ... lots of sailors on a Quay :-\
-
The last three were all good answers, but not the right one unfortunately. You've got the first bit right. ;)
-
Newhaven...................... :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Think fresh start = new ***********
-
beginning..... :hmm:
Can't see anything other than Newbiggin-by-the-Sea in Northumberland... :help:
-
That's it :thumbs:
A place for born-again sailors --> New beginning by the sea --> Newbiggin-by-the-Sea
-
:o
Wow....................... :swoon:
We need a simple one after that teaser............will be back... ;D
ok...
noble owner of a noble pig
-
>> noble pig
Henry VIII ?
-
:lol:
:no:
-
:lol: He'd have had your head for that Eric !
Are we in Gloucestershire ?
-
>>> Is this anything to do with Tamworth <<<
Sorry.. :no:
-
Oooooooo sorry TD I changed my post and then realised you'd replied to my original ! back to the map !
-
>>> Are we in Gloucestershire <<<
:no:
:D
-
noble owner of a noble pig
Just a wild guess here...........Noble pig=Links
Noble owner = Royal
Royal and Ancient golf course..................St Andrews
I think I must have had too much sun. :D
Edit. Kingham,nr Stow-on-the-Wold
-
Good guesses, unkyUb.......sorry :no:
The noble owner, looking for a name rather than a title.
-
Napoleon was one of the pigs in Animal Farm ... and Napoleon was a nobleman ...... There is a village called Napleton in Worcester .... could you be that cryptic I wonder :'( well it IS one of your easy ones :lol:
-
:no: sorry, but in the search for the noble pig bringing some fiction into the equation is not a bad idea... :)
-
Now I've gone to Blandings Castle :-\ where the Empress of Blandings was the beloved sow ! Are we in Shropshire perhaps ?
-
;)
noble owner :)...................but the location we seek is not in Salops ( typed that cos I can't spell Shropshire :D )
-
Worcester ?? as in Bertie Wooster ?
-
:no:
Who owned the Empress of Blandings........ :hmm:................Lord....?
-
:doh: Emsworth, Hampshire !
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
See, easypeasy.......well done... :D
-
::)
Well I wouldn't quite describe it as easypeasy :lol:
OK, here's a real easypeasy ;D
Bill might be considered strong in some foreign parts !

Fort William....... :-\
-
ha ha !!!! now that's what easypeasy means :lol: :clap2: :clap2: :thumbs: :clap:
-
:graduate: :D
I see, will try that some time..... :lol:
Will be back with the simplest one I can find........... :no: >:D
ok
perhaps singed the dwelling
-
Could that be Burnhouse, Ayreshire ?
-
Burnt Houses, Durham or BurntHouses, Cornwall ?
-
Charterhouse
-
roseway is the nearest..............just a wee bit more to explain the "perhaps"
-
Burnhouse in Ayrshire ?
oops,just seen Kates post. :-[
-
:-X
:D
-
maybe we're a bit baffled with this one..?
-
Well, I suppose that if something nearby was burnt, then the dwelling might be singed. So we have:
Burntcommon
Burnt Fen
Burnt Heath
Burnt Hill
Burnthillock
Burntisland
Burnt Oak
:-\ :no:
-
We are in Cornwall.
A two word name, the second bit you have already got..............Burnthouse.
The first bit sounds like maybe
Not far from Penryn..... :)
-
Mabe Burnthouse
You do like to find the obscure ones, don't you TD? :lol:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
That's it.... :D
I don't know what you mean....... >:D
-
I'll get my magnifying glass out and look closely at the map...
This sounds like a diet with plenty of fibre but hard to digest :tongue:
-
Fibre...............bran
hard to swallow............castor oil
Brancaster ?
-
:no:
It's the fibre itself which is hard (or impossible) to digest.
-
Are we at Cotton, in Suffolk...... :-\........ :no:
-
:no:
Even more indigestible than cotton probably.
-
Even more indigestible than cotton probably.
It must be Muesli :lol:
back to the map !
-
:lol:
Wool, in Dorset........ :-\
-
:lol:
Much harder than either wool or cotton ;)
Remember that we're talking about something being consumed...
-
Are we in Oxfordshire, at Woodeaton........................ :-\
-
I have to give it to you TD. I was actually thinking of Wood Eaton in Staffs, but your answer is equally good. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
Wooohoooo.......... :dance: :D
ok
left is lead
-
Portslade? :-\
-
:no: sorry, but the left bit is correct... :)
-
Portnalong in the Highlands ?? Port .. left (thanks Eric ;) ;D ) along (lead along) ?? :-\ :'( or are we talking about lead as in plomb ??
-
:no:
plumbum..... :no:
lead along......nearly. ;)
-
Porthmadog
-
Portishead?
-
:clap2: :clap: :thumbs:.................Tux gallops to the winning post again....Portishead it is.
What next ? :swoon:
-
Oooooooooooo well done Eric :clap2: :clap2: I wasn't even lukewarm on that one, I think I need a new map ;D
-
Ooh :) Now, can I think of a really evil one? >:D
I'll be back...
Ok - it's easy really..
A large building where brass musical instruments are kept?
-
Horncastle................. :-\
-
I said it was easy :'( :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
;D my guessing is getting better..... :blush:
ok..........easy peasy, get this one in no time... :)
beef not skipping or jumping
-
Bulls Cross, North London ?
-
Not there, unkyUb...... :(..................go north... :)
-
I'm guessing that 'not skipping or jumping' means hopping, but I'm not skipping or jumping mad that I can't get beyond that.
-
>>> hopping <<< ;)
Beef... :hmm:
-
Are we in East Yorkshire...........
-
No, west of that.............near the sea... :)
-
West of East Yorkshire near the sea would take us to Lancashire perhaps ?? There's Stakepool near Pilling which is near the sea ... I can see the connection with beef but not with hopping :'( but then you have put the thinking icon next to beef ... :'( :'( and that's thrown me into more confusion ::)
-
beef, steak..............types of, well it not vegetables ;)
-
Meathop,in Cumbria. :)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Wooohooo, unkyUb does it again........... :D
Meathop it is........
What next..... :scare: :swoon:

OK,I will continue on the 'easy' theme of the last few clues. :angel:
Everythings bog standard here.
-
Bit of a guess...( aren't they all ? ;D )
Are we in Cornwall, at Par................... :-\
-
No sorry,and not Cornwall,further north and east
-
I was going to say Looe, but that's in Cornwall too :)
-
;D @ Eric ... that crossed my mind too :D
Are we talking about bog land in general .......are we in Wales by any chance ?
-
Moreton-in-Marsh near Gloucester................ :no:
-
Are we talking about bog land in general .......are we in Wales by any chance ?
No and no. :no:
And no to TD.............. :no:
-
:hmm:.........thinks....
you get flag irises in boggy ground.
a standard could be a flag
Are we in Derbyshire, at Flagg............... ;D.......... :-\............... :no:.............. :-[
-
No sorry,think of bog as not in boggy ground,but in another sense.
-
Bath...........?........ :no:
-
>> Everythings bog standard here
Ive been going down this track but I cant think of a place that ties in
Everything = All
bogstandard = common, stock, normal, usual
Only one I can think of is Allostock in Cheshire, but I should imagine its most likely to be a common somewhere.
-
OK,I don't want anyone caught short by this clue. ;)
-
UnkyUb likes to play on words, and on letters...... :hmm:
everything.....all....................al
bog..toilet...cistern......ciston
Alciston, in Sussex............. :no:
(TD puts on coat and goes home....... :blush: )
TD comes back .............Waterlooville ?
-
bog..toilet...cistern......ciston
;)
There is somewhere associated with.................

See, I told you..........it is a scottiesmum special....... :scare: :lol:
Dutch...... :hmm:
orange, hoe, barn, wife................. :-\
-
:angel: :angel: concentrate on the Dutch joke ..................................... to start with :D
-
also stumped.
dutch joke = grap
foyer = lobby, vestibule, hall, porch
-
Is this a mansion, something Hall ? :blush:
-
Kitz you are very close but need to use 'to joke' in Dutch and then fit a foyer suffix on the end !
TD is correct with Hall, but it's not a mansion or building as such !!
ooooooooo so very nearly there !
-
Ik ben bang dat mijn Nederlands is niet goed genoeg voor. :-[
-
I thought you'd find it easy TD as you speak Double Dutch in your clues :lol: :lol:
OK ..... another teeeeeny weeeeny help ...... in Dutch treat 'to' (to joke) as French ' in ' ........ put that on the end of joke ..... then add the foyer ... is that clearer ;) :lol:
PS ... if it helps >:D it's oooooooooop North !!
-
>>> I thought you'd find it easy TD as you speak Double Dutch in your clues <<<.......................just wait, vengeance shall be mine... >:D :lol:

Oooooooooooo Eric, you are getting soooooooooooooooo good at this :thumbs: ......... especially being able to fathom TD's clues :lol: I fear now you are beginning to imitate him though ! :lol:

OMG............its right :swoon:

-
>>> the correct derivation of the suffix Kil
Did you mean 'prefix'?
This one seems possible:
"Basically Kil means church, so for example Kildare (Cill Dara in modern Irish), originally derived from Cell Dara in Old Irish, meaning "Church of the Oak".
-
Yes, sorry, meant prefix........ :-[
Good explanation............the additional bit I was looking foe is that "Kil" is a gaelic/erse pronunciation of "cell" meaning a monk's cell................."Kil" marks where a christian church of either denomination was built on the site of an old monk's cell.
-
Thanks TD, I'll try to remember that. :)

Interesting stuff, eh ? :no:

Off to think up a simple one for you all......will be back. :)
I'm back... :D
ok....
low down drug
-
That last one certainly baffled me :)
Low-down = dope
drug = dope
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a place called Dope :(
Back to the drawing board...
-
That's not a bad idea for the low down bit..... ;)
-
That's not a bad idea for the low down bit..... ;)
Dope(y), low down..............is there a seven dwarfs connection here,probably not :D but I'm baffled

Bit mean with the clues today Eric ;D

Is there a place called GUANO in the UK ? :'( ;D
-
There's a DUNGE in Wiltshire ..... dunge dung ;D Are we in DUNGE ? :lol:
-
:lol:
Sorry, no to both.
Unc was beginning to get warm with his first attempts...
-
Unc had the species of bird right... Look in border country...
-
There is a Cockburnspath in the Scottish Borders ..... a male Hen is a Cock ..... the guano from birds can burn ..... and I suppose it could burn a path :-X :-\ :'( Anyway that's my latest offering ;D
-
Sorry, I already did that one a few days ago. :)
You need the female, not the male. I'm not sure that anyone actually lives here... It has a lot of water...
-
Sorry Eric didn't realise you'd already done my latest offering :-\ I missed that ::) ...... I think I could do with some of TD's wily intuition here ;D won't give up though ???
-
TD's intuition has gone on it's holidays...............leaving him baffled for the moment..... ???
-
Henlade,in Somerset ?
Oops,just read......look in border country :-[
swan.............or ...............swan
-
You're so close (although not geographically). It's a loch in the Scottish Borders.
PS: It's quite beautiful, a nature reserve.
-
Just to summarise the clues:
Avian = female chicken
fertiliser = what comes out of the back end
The answer is a loch in a nature reserve in the Scottish Borders.
-
The answer is a loch in a nature reserve in the Scottish Borders.
Is there a RSPB connection.
I have scoured nature reserves in the Scottish borders region and so far nothing connects with your clue,

Woohooo, TD's turn again.... >:D............will be back. :D
Im back, with an easy one... :)
sounds like an unfriendly warning
-
Sorry if it was a bit obscure. I just happened to notice it in the index of my atlas when I was looking for something else, and the name was too good to waste. :)
-
Would the unfriendly warning be something you might shout at somebody, such as 'Clear off' or 'Get out'?
-
Not so much sending away, as cautionary ;)

Well done TD ..... WOW that was a good one wasn't it :D

Crusaders.......Knights, of the round table perhaps.

The whole ethos of the Christian Church is based on the cruxifiction on the cross, and the subsequent resurrection.
The Church may, then, in modern parlance, be described as having been sold on the idea of the cross.
Sold on....... :hmm:

-
Perfect Eric,just needs to larger.
-
:)
Speakers Corner?
-
Fiddlers Hamlet,in Essex
-
Sorry Eric .... :no: but nice try :D
:lol: :lol: No, but it's tempting isn't it Unc :
Go further north................... and be in time for breakfast ;)
-
Breakfast makes me think of bacon, so
Bacon End, Essex
or
Bacon's End, W Midlands ?
-
Sorry Eric :no: not bacon ! It might have been a favourite of George Fox ;) go further north but not over the border !
-
Geo Fox =Quakers =Oats.
Oatlands,in Yorkshire.
-
:no: Unc, further north still ..... a slight variation on Quakers ...... someone afraid might be doing this ! ......... then find the buildings ..... and Voila !! :D
-
:no: Unc, further north still ..... a slight variation on Quakers ...... someone afraid might be doing this ! ......... then find the buildings ..... and Voila !! :D
M'mm,still stuggling to find a connection.
Quakers = Pilgrims..........someone afraid might do this = hide......Building = house...................
and then the breakfast connection. :shrug2:
-
a slight variation on Quakers ...... someone afraid might be doing this
Someone afraid might be quaking in their boots, but it doesn't get me anywhere.. :(
-
Unc you are very close :) .. the breakfast connection as just to get you to Quaker !!! if you see what I mean ---- Quaker - Oats - Porridge - breakfast - Scottish ( my logic :lol: )
Eric !!! You have the WORD !!! Unc has the buildingS .... join them together ...... then you have the place ..... whey hey the lads ;) mind you don't bump into the Blairs ;) ;) ;)
original clue .....Could be confused with Westminster at the moment !!!!!!!!
-
........Houses,in the north east,Sunderland,Newcastle area.
Bump into the Blairs...................Sedgefield
-
The only place I can think of with 'houses' in its name is Seahouses, but that doesn't seem to fit. :(
-
There's Blubberhouse,but that's North Yorkshire. :wall:
-
>> Blubberhouse
It would fit the original clue :lol:
-
Lots of whining going on in Westminster.
Oats....horses
Frightened (quaking horses) might whinny
whey hey the lads...............Middlesbrough area
Miss the Blairs ........Near Sedgefiel
Whinny Hill................... :-X
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh :no: :no: sorry ......
Eric has the correct word ..... Quaking ....... Unc had the correct buildingS he said House .... add an S Houses ....
The Blairs ....... Where is Sedgefield ??
IF no- one gets it now I'll give you the answer ----- then run like fury :lol: :lol:
-
Are we just south of Newcastle, at Stanley............go south from there on the A693 and halfway to Annfield Plain, you go through the hamlet of Quaking Houses. ?
Could it be.... :-\
-
VOILA ! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Quaking Houses, in Co. Durham ............. Bravo TD !!!!! ( I don't need to run off now :lol:)
Quaking Houses ..... House of Commons and Lords ;D
-
In scratching the TD head looking for that in my AA road map, I was lost due to the fact that the index jumps from P to R and misses out Q altogether...odd.
roseway and unkyUb did all the hard work............one of them should post the next clue... :)
-
No, no, TD. You found it, so your turn. (Don't make it too obscure though! :) )
-
Go on TD, but please be gentle. :baby:
-
Ok
take the central heating away from firearm.
-
Matchlock (gun) - ch = Matlock ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it...........Matlock... :D
-
Ooh, gorrit :dance:
Now let's see...
A new century is about to start.
-
century..............ton
about to start..............the off
Offton, in Suffolk..... :-\
-
Sorry, not close at all. :)
What happens just before a new century starts?
-
Sorry, not close at all. :)
What happens just before a new century starts?
:congrats: :drink: :dance: :drunk:
New Years Green,nr Slough
-
Sorry, no. :)
You need to think more about 'century'.
-
Yearby in Cleveland ? ..... year gone by ?? :-\
-
There's a Hundred End, in Lancashire ??? could that be it ?
-
Hundred End it is! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
:dance: strangely Eric I was reading about this not too long ago when looking at the History of Lancashire ...... it didn't 'click' straight away ::)
anyway ...
Fasten together at shallow crossing .
-
Stapleford ?

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap2: Oh tooooooooooooooooooo easy ;D back to you Eric :)
-
Ooh, I got there before TD :lol:
Tying things up in an environmentally sustainable way
-
I'm still :hmm: on this :'( I've only come up with Green so far ..... need a little of TD's inspired thoughts methinks :hmm:
-
Bedfordshire..............Knotting Green ?
-
Knotting Green it is! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :sun:
-
See ! TD's inspired thoughts to the fore :clap2: :clap: :clap2:
-
Easy one for today.
Andrew's brother Anthony
-
Tonypandy
-
Cannot argue with that..........Tonypandy it is...
-
Just goes to show the level of my TV viewing!
Now for one with a twist:
Forbidding ancient - near
-
This one is straining my little grey cell. So let's make a stab or two:
ancient = old
near = close
:-\
-
Are we in Lincolnshire ?
forbidding.........grim
ancient.............old
near..................by
Grimoldby ?
-
Got it in one TD!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
My brain is having time out I think :'( :) :clap: :clap2: TD and :clap: :clap2: Colin for the one before ....
-
I was struggling with those. Well done Colin and TD. :silly:
-
I suspect TD and I may have worked/lived in Lincolnshire, near Louth at some time in the (distant) past? With a little help from Roget's Thesauras, I assembled the clue.
Colin
-
Sorry for the delay.
ok
Does this describe Birnam Wood ?
-
I guess we're in Macbeth country. I must don my thinking cap...
-
Not a bad starting point, tho' not so good geographically. :)
-
Not a bad starting point, tho' not so good geographically. :)
Oh dear,I was going to say........Dunkeld in Scotland.
-
A bitty south and west, unkyUb...........not so much where is Birnam Wood but what it did... :)
-
"As I did stand my watch upon the hill,
I looked toward Birnam and anon methought
The wood began to move."
-
;)...............in which direction ?
-
Are we talking about Dunsinane Hill in Perthshire ?
-
That is part of the legend, but not what we are looking for..... :)
If you were on Dunsinane at the time, Birnam Wood would have been...................what ?
-
A castle =Dunsinane Castle
-
:no: sorry, but Birnam Wood did something to Dunsinane.............you must consult Shakespeare for this.
Again, tho' this will give the answer you want, the location we seek is south and west of both Birnam and Dunsinane... :)
-
Something to do with cutting down trees,wood.........bringing Birnham wood to Dunisnane. :help:
-
The legend as recounted in the play Macbeth is that Birnam Wood marched upon Dunsinane............the trees of Birnam approached Dunsinane ( the trees came to Dunsinane..............trees that come ;) (even if the good folks of SW Scotland cannot spell that properly )
-
"trees that come"? :help:
-
.trees that come
C'mon..............>something< Common ?
-
:no: sorry and sorry.
Coming trees..................comer trees ?...................misspelt, possibly near Annan... :)
-
Cummertrees.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it Cummertrees...............see, simple really... :D
Come on, unkyUb.........do your worst.... :scare: :swoon:
-
I don't know what all the fuss was about,simple.......... :swoon: :D
When you mentioned Annan,I remembered the area as we camped at Hoddom Castle a few years ago.
I'll be back................
-
Well done Unc :clap2:
-
OK,
Eating healthy might help you catch something here.
-
:hmm:
Healthy eating might mean eating your greens, and you could catch a fish in a burn.
Are we in West Lothian............Greenburn..... :-\
-
No sorry,not Scotland,go south,and east
-
Think of other food that keeps us healthy. ;)
-
:idea:
Bran ?
And you could catch something "in the end"
Bran End in Essex ? :-\
-
Half right................Bran
help you catch something
;)
-
Branchill, Grampian ?
-
No sorry,..............think about catching something else :yum:
-
You might catch fish by angling off a wharf..............and fish and brandy are both :yum:
Lincolnshire.............Brandy Wharf.....? :-\
-
No,but getting there.............what do you have to do to catch fish........
-
Oooooo :hmm:
To catch a fish, you may cast a line or net....
Brancaster ? :-\

-
A steep hill could be a cliff...
Cliff End, E Sussex?
-
>>>>>Near a steep hill<<<<<< foot............Follifoot,Nth Yorkshire :no:
-
>>> cliff <<< ;)
Yorkshire.... ;)............but exchange north for south :)
-
:hmm:
Near ( or at ) a cliff........... :-\
I bet unkyUb wishes this place were nearer home... ;)
-
:hmm:

-
OK,
The tarmac should be good here
-
I thought it would be Great something, but I can't find the tarmac reference...
-
Northamptonshire...............Roade................ :-\
-
No sorry,the big clue is in tarmac and the laying of it ;)
-
tarmac.............John Loudon MacAdam
Loudon, in Ayrshire....................( will have a think about the laying method as a seperate issue.. :D ) :-\
-
will have a think about the laying method .
;)
-
Heat it, spread it then roll it....... ???
Struggling to find a suitable place name.....will ponder further... :hmm:
-
Think about the machine that lays the tarmac.
-
It's called a tarmac-laying machine ;D
A roller is used for finishing it, so -
Rolstone in Avon or Rollestone in various places.. :no:
-
It is the brand name of these tarmac laying machines which will lead you to this village in Cumbria.
-
The only brand name that TD can think of is Travis Perkins.
Cumbria...... :hmm:........that company has a big site in Ulverston ? :-\
-
There's a Perkinsville, but that's in Durham.
-
It might help if you go to get your hair cut.
-
There's no need to be rude :lol:
-
Wigton?
-
It might help if you go to get your hair cut.
What hair ? :(

OMG....... :D
Where do men go to get a haircut...........or in some cases a polish. :lol:

-
Child's Hill,Nth London
-
:no: sorry, go west............think biblical massacre :)
-
Could this be something to do with the Rubens picture?
-
:no:...................., although of course Rubens depicts the same piece of history.
Who was guilty of inflicting the Massacre of the Innocents :hmm:
-
Herod (not a nice man) :-\
-
;)
Now, sort out the measure and you are home and dry. :)

No sorry,think of a well known Christopher and you will find the place

Marlow ? :-\
-
:no: think more on the lines of a celebrity
-
Christopher Reeve has (or had) a son William, so would it be
Williamstown
-
:no: British celebrity (not A list),but very well known.
-
The only one I can think of is Biggins, but I'm having trouble finding a baby for him...
There's a place called The Biggins :no:
-

Now let's see....
A high quality French waterway
-
Are we in the Borders :-\
French waterway..............La Manche
high quality A(1)
Lamancha ? :hmm:
-
Ingenious, but sorry :no:
Perhaps I should point out that, though this is in the index of my old AA road map, it's actually a waterway, not a place of habitation.
-
There was a Beaumont Cut in Essex (which is now disused) Mont ... could be the High bit .... Beau the quality (perhaps ;D) and as it's in your old AA book the disused bit fits in ! :-\ so that's my offering ;D :'(
-
quality............great
French waterway.............eau
There is a river Great Eau in Lincolnshire (on which there is a wildfowl sanctuary at Belleau............equally french in origin.) :-\

Beaumont Cut :no: :)
River Great Eau :thumbs:

Are we perhaps in Waterford in Hertfordshire ?? Water as in damp .... and a could a ford be classed as a partition ..... it separates two river banks I suppose ? :-\
-
:no: sorry.................go east again
-
Partition :-\
Curtain, load-bearing, garden,Berlin....... :hmm:
-
The Berlin wall was part of the iron curtain, and partitioned Berlin, so I guess 'wall' comes into it...
Still thinking about damp..

This wall is so damp that it is almost soaking :)

Wall soakin'
Could that be a sea wall ?
Wells next the Sea.
-
:no:
sounds like wall soakin' :) and in the north east corner of Norfolk, and not too far from Wells-next-the-Sea..

The only place I can see which almost fits is Walsingham, and that doesn't sound like wall soakin' (or maybe it does in a Scottish accent :) )

Now let's see..
Another Prime Minister I think..
A very cheap ex Prime Minister
-
'very cheap' means a lot less than a pound ;)
-
Is the clue in the name of the ex prime minister.........
-
There are two words in the answer. The ex PM is the second word.
-
'very cheap' means a lot less than a pound ;)
Shilling...........
ex pm = Gladstone.
Shillingstone in Dorset
-
If we were to climb into the horseless carriage and trundle along between Bridgnorth and Claverley in Shropshire, we would pass through Halfpenny Heath.
Halfpenny Heath...... :-\
-
TD is so very close, but he's not quite that cheap, and he's in Essex.
(I've got to go out for a few hours, but I'm sure you'll get it now, so assume you're right and carry on :) )

"I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over."
Sea Fever. :)

:no: sorry TD ..... not that easy !! :D but it is a hamlet we are looking for ;D (I hope I've not confused you :lol: )

It IS a healthy drink we are looking for ..... well it's reputed to be a healthy drink :-\ ....... :no: wrong colour Unc and you need an actual letter ....... someone from the A Team may help ;)
-
Mr T and Green ..............Tea Green,Nr Luton.
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :thumbs: Unc ..... I was looking at Tea Green in, Herts which is a hamlet ..... not sure if it's the same one ... BUT .... it's good enough for me :D over to you
-
OK,
Has the team gone religious.
-
It took me a couple of minutes to see how Kate's clue related to the answer. :lol: Must try harder.
Are we talking about a football team here?
-
:hmm:
Aston Villa is a footie side.
Being religious.......going to Church... :-\
Church Aston in Shropshire...? :)
-
Sorry TD,
and Eric.......Are we talking about a football team here?
;)
-
I believe that Unc supports Sheffield Wednesday. There's a place called Sheffield Bottom (of the table?) which might cause Unc to start praying. ;D
-
:lol:
-
Darlington FC are nicknamed The Quakers ..... so are we in Darlington ?

Not Darlington Kate,a bit further south
-
Plymouth :-\
Plymouth Albion.....Plymouth Brethren :no:
-
Sorry,you need to be up north,the place is up north and the team is up north(both in different counties)
-
Strugglinr with this one.........must try to get brain in gear.... ???

The two counties mentioned are divided by the Pennines.The place I'm looking for is in Yorkshire. ;)

Bolton Abbey :-\

Bolton Abbey :-\
Bolton Abbey............I worked just at the side of there many years ago.Working on a new pumping station right on the banks of the river Wharf. :)
You got it.................. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Over to you maestro.
-
Woohoooooo :D
A lovely part of the country, and a most impressive building. I bet the old monks who built the Abbey never thought they would one day have a pumping station next door.
OK, an easy one for today.
A very finely spoken bovine

Especially with a Geoff Boycott fan working on it.............. :lol:
-
Indeed.........but don't tell roseway... :lol:
Mooo ;)
-
>> don't tell roseway
It's been duly noted :whip:
-
I imagine that the 'Mooo' was a clue, and 'moo' is what cows say (supposedly), but I'm still scratching my head. :hmm:
-
Moo.............emitted by a mooer, but we need to be a bit more poetic.. ;)
-
'Swell' is a slang word for fine and dandy, so..
Lower Swell, Gloucs? :-\
-
lower ;)
swell :no:
slang ;) but for "speak"
:)
-
Lower Gabwell, Devon ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Lower Gabwell it is..... :D
-
Lower Gabwell --> A very finely spoken bovine :lol:
An absolutely delightful doorway
-
Well, I understood it..... :blush: :D
Are we at Portobello :-\
-
Sorry no, not enough delight ;)
-
Given my "delight" at the :sun: ;D are we at Port Sunlight ??
-
I suppose that sunlight might lead to delight for TD, but :no:
You're looking for real delight, not an agent which might cause it.
-
delight......= happieness
Happisburgh in Norfolk... :-\ :no:
-
:no:
Wrong side of the country, but approximately the right latitude. You need a quieter, more contemplative type of delight.
-
... it's the sort of delight which Scottie and Blue would experience if you tickle their tums ;D
-
Old radio programme: "A life of .....? "

Bliss Gate, Hereford ..... ?
-
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
That was easy :lol: Thanks for almost spelling it out Eric ::) ....................... must go and peruse the map ! back soon !
-
This just 'popped into my head ..... I think you'll soon get it !!
sounds like a knitted vehicle !
-
Are we in Lancashire.............Woolfords :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ...... (followed by another of my big hints ............................... :lol:) >:D
-
Grrrrrrr :D
Knitted glove......mitt
Mitford, in Northumberland..... :-\....... :no:
-
:no: .... the knitting is very regional ;) ignore the make of vehicle ( ooooooooooooo am I'm being too generous now ? living dangerously :lol: )
-
There used to be a Morris Marina car, so..
Jersey Marine? :-\ :no:
-
:no: sorry Eric .....
Oooooooooo I think I've been too cryptic ..... again :lol:
OK.....Go north for the knitting ..... get rid of the blonde bit ;) don't bother about the make of vehicle just the type ! then reverse .... and travel a teeny bit southwards ... it's soooooooooooooooooooooooo easy ! >:D
-
Far north knitting type........Fair Isle :-\
Get rid of the blonde bit.......Isle
Wee bit southwards...Orkney ?
type of vehicle....(reversed ) :shrug2:
:'(
-
Your spot on with the first bit TD ..... go a bit further south ................... think of a vehicle - put them together ... in reverse - and it will sound almost right .........does that help ? :fingers: :D
-
Carlisle :-\

:-X :-X
:lol:
Ok, an easy one.
Was this an arborial photographic model
-
So, Carlisle is just a teeny bit south of Fair Isle.....
I was using the TGV :lol:
-
There's an Oakshott in Hampshire .......................... thinking how I define my clues :D Oak (as in arboreal) and you'd have a photo shoot for models :'( makes sense to me anyway :lol: :lol:
-
Right idea ;) but......... :no:
-
Aldershot?
-
Correct
-
:doh: now why did I not think alders !!!! ;D
-
OK, then an easy-ish one...
Girl goes to a mixed gender school, we hear.
-
Betws-y-Coed?
-
I told you it was easy. ;D
-
I told you it was easy.
I think it's a lot to do with the fact that Eric is a genius ;D :angel: :angel:
-
>> Eric is a genius
[Eric simpers gracefully :blush: ]
Now let's see...
Sounds like nearly a hundred isotopes
-
:hmm: ruthenium 99
Ruthin, in Denbighshire :-\
-
No, but you're on the right track. Not that close to 100.
-
A lot of the 'elements' sound like Roman towns to me .... am I on the right track ? or is my 'logic' in overdrive :lol: ?
OR ...are we in Berkely Gloucesershire (from Berkelium No. 97 !) ?? :-\
-
Sorry, feminine logic doesn't apply here ::)
This is a well known radioactive isotope. ;)
-
is there a place called Uranium :o :o ?
OR are we in Thorington, Suffolk which could sound like Thorium :'( (to a deaf person :lol:)
-
:D
strontium 90 :hmm:
Are we back at Strontian :-\
-
:lol:
Yes, TD has got it. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
-
Woohooooo :D
This one is so simple I am ashamed to pose it......but too lazy to think up anything better.. :)
score
-
Twenty, Lincolnshire ?? my answer may be so simple that I should be ashamed :lol: :lol:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
See, there's nothing to fear from TD's clues... :D
-
:-X
Well done Kate :congrats:
-
Ooooooooo I thought there was a catch :lol:
off to find something simple !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm back .... tee hee found a good 'un !!
A woodworker's pool perhaps ? >:D
-
:hmm:
pool.............puddle
woodworker.............turner (on a lathe)
Turners Puddle, in Dorset...... :-\
-
Another genius ! :clap: :clap2: :clap: :clap: :clap2: I wasn't as >:D >:D as I thought :D over to you maestro ! ;D
-
Wayhay...... :dance: :D
OK
sounds like an ape prickle
-
Stop monkeying around...! :)
-
I've been saying out loud 'an ape prickle' over and over again, and I can't think of any place that 'sounds' like that :lol:
-
>:D
-
I'm guessing that prickle = thorn, so I'm looking (without success) for a name like 'Gorillathorn'...
-
thorn ;) (well. it sounds like that)
Gorillathorn :no:
ape :hmm:
Maybe have a look near the home of the great queens (and I don't mean the luvvies :D)
-
Could we be in Apethorpe, Northamptonshire ?
-
:no:
Diametrically opposed to Northampton.... ;)
Think of a non-mamallian ape... :)
-
>> Diametrically opposed to Northampton
Southampton I guess ...
An ape which isn't a mammal...? ??? I thought of Jonathan Ross, but I suppose he is a mammal ;D
-
Southampton (area).....home of the great queens....Cunard liners ;D
>>I thought of Jonathan Ross, but I suppose he is a mammal << :lol:
Ape....I suppose Ross is merely a facsimile of an ape...
-
:o :o I'm listening to Wossy as I type !
not getting very far though :'(
-
facsimile = replica= ? :)
-
I'm frantically looking for a MAN in Hampshire :lol:
-
:lol:
replica= imitation... :)
-
If you hit me hard enough and often enough, light may eventually dawn.
Are we talking about 'ape' in the sense of copying?
Copythorne, Hants?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it.............all quite straightforward....don't know what all the fuss was about... :lol:
Over to you.. ;D
-
:lol:
:clap: :clap: :clap2: :clap2: Ooooooooooooooo well done Eric ... I'd never have found my way there ! ;D
-
Ooh :)
Now let's see...
A very easy fun one, as I have to go out...
The church in the hollow
-
What about Abbeydale in Glos. ? :-\ Abbey ... church ... dale .. hollow
-
Or, what about Chapel-le-Dale oop north in unkyUb territory.... :-\
-
Both good attempts, but :no:
We're in the land of the dragon... ;)
-
>> land of the dragon <<
China :hmm:...............are we somewhere in the Potteries ? :-\
-
The Welsh flag:

It might help to solve the clue if you speak Welsh, but it's not essential, as a translation is provided... ;)
-
???
Welsh places of worship
llan
capel
eglwys
betws
Welsh hollows
cwm
glyn
Any leads here.... :-\ :help:
-
It's actually St Mary's church in the hollow... which is an English translation of part of the name.
-
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch :'(

:swoon:
:D
-
Phew, feel better after getting that off my tongue ;D I shall have to pass the baton on this one, we have decided to take off for 2/3 days .... and I wouldn't want to leave you all in suspense :lol: TD qualifies because he did get some of the letters ;D ;D
-
Gosh :blush:
Enjoy the mini-trip, scottiesmum...will try and puzzle the rest until your return :)
This is an easy one....to hot to think up a TD special :D
sounds like a shady stream
-
I'm afraid that my brain synapse isn't firing very effectively at the moment, due to overheating... :(
-
:D
It's quite simple.
Translate Shiloah from Hebrew or ditto Silwan from Arabic and you are home and dry..... ;)
-
Of course! It's obvious now you've explained it. :lol:
All right, I'll try harder... :'(
-
These translations will lead you to Siloam.... :)
-
Perhaps someone could remind TD of the last word of this line from the old hymn...........never could remember how it ends ? :)
By cool Siloam's shady....... :hmm:
-
Sorry TD, I've been otherwise occupied. The word is rill of course. Shiloah is in Eastern Jerusalem, and there are many references to the waters of Shiloah but I haven't seen any translation of the word.
I've been thinking about shady. Is this by any chance the other meaning of the word, as in 'a shady character'?
-
rill ;)
-
Would that be Rhyl then ?? ;D
and just for you TD .......
By cool Siloam's shady rill
how fair the lily grows!
How sweet the breath, beneath the hill,
of Sharon's dewy rose!
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Woohooo.........you've come back refreshed I see...... :D
-
Oh my word! I should have thought of that. :-[ :clap2: :clap2:
-
;D rill was the give away :lol:
now a little teaser ..................a result of a bit of >:D and a lot of :flamer: which rather go together :lol:
sounds like a certain 007 is calling someone a fool !
-
Do we need to identify a particular Bond actor... :hmm:
-
I've got a list here:
* Sean Connery
* David Niven
* George Lazenby
* Roger Moore
* Timothy Dalton
* Pierce Brosnan
* Daniel Craig
-
Moore ............ :hmm:.................. :idea: moor
Call a fool............diss in modern parlance
Are we at the old peat cuttings in Norfolk.......Diss Moor :-\
-
Sorry about the delay .... I'll fill you in on today's chat ::) ::)
Yes you need to ID one of the Bonds ..... the emphasis is on sounds like a certain 007 is calling someone a fool ! ..... once you have the actor the rest will be so obvious :angel:
-
Calling someone a fool may be to abase him/her.............or to "down" that person.... :hmm:
Connery.......hmmm sounds a bit like that................
:idea: are we in Cornwall...........at Connor Downs :-\
-
You have the correct Bond TD ....... but now concentrate on the 'sounds' bit of the clue ....... Connery has a shpeshal way of shpeaking ...... and if he were to call someone something like a fool .... not too derogatory ... it would 'sound like' the place we are looking for .... which is in his country ;) I hope this is helpful >:D
-
>> I hope this is helpful <<
:swoon:
-
:lol:
-
A fool could be an ass, and if you pronounced that the Connery way it could be 'ash'. The only Scottish name I can find which (sort of) fits is
Ashkirk ? :-\
-
Sorry :no: Eric .....
perhaps Sean was speaking to Billy ;)
-
shilly something..... ???
-
There's the Scilly Isles, which might be called the Shilly Isles, but that's a long way from Scotland. :)
-
Shilliford, near Renfrew :-\
-
:lol: @ Eric but you are closer than you think although nowhere near geographically :)
TD you need to go North and out to sea ;) think about your 'shilly something'
you are soooooooooooooooooo close both of you with the name >:D in fact I'm not sure if I'm being mean not allowing it :lol:
-
>>> TD you need to go North and out to sea <<<
I am very worried about this... :(.............the last time that happened she took us to Fair Isle but the answer was Carlisle..... :-X
:D
-
I couldn't possibly make any comment about women and maps :o ;D
-
The best TD can come up with is Seilebost, on Harris...... :no:
:help:
-
:lol: :lol: I'm here to confuse !!
Do you know the Monach Islands ??? that is a HUGE CLUE ..... honest !!
-
Aha.... :idea:
Shillay :-\
-
OUI !!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Wayhay..... :D
I do like these ones which are not too obscure..... :lol:
Ok, straightforward one to try.
Sounds like a heavy roll
-
Please tell me that the answer is somewhere I've heard of, like Edinburgh or Birmingham. :lol:
-
Please tell me that the answer is somewhere I've heard of, like Edinburgh or Birmingham. :lol:

Sounds like a heavy roll
.............Is this a roll as in sandwich?
Breadstone................In Gloucestershire
-
:no: sorry, unkyUb..........different sort of roll, although you could get wired into it.. :)
This place is very famous cos back in 1902, my late mother was born there... ;D
-
:lol: :lol: ........ and I thought it was one of my easier ones ;D
...... perhaps the clue about your late mother should lead us to Scotland but that MIGHT be a TD teaser :D
SO, I shall have a go with Turnastone in Herefordshire :-\ ;D
-
:no:
-
You can have a roll of film, or indeed of wire, so perhaps it's that sort of roll we're looking for. I'm thinking of words like 'reel' and 'bobbin'... :hmm:
-

Cable,Drum............ :hmm:
-
I've gone back to your Scottish roots TD ...... and found a Coillore on Skye ..... coil as in wire, bobbin etc .... ore as in iron ore - heavy ... am I warm ? ;D :-\
-
:no: perhaps there is no supporting core in this load of wire.... :)
Oooo sorry, missed scottiesmum's post above..... :-[
Coil..... ;)
So, sounds like a heavy coil.........nearly there, an alternative spelling for coil and we are home and dry. :)
scottiesmum...too far north.
-
Just to simplify the whole thing, go back to 1038 and study the activities of the "Order of Paragons" and indentify the first king of Hurvia.......whose name, by the way, is also an Old Scots word for a coalmine.
There, that clears it up... ;D
-
Coylet,in Argyll and Bute..............
"Order of Paragons" and indentify the first king of Hurvia..
Prince Coyle.
-
Soooo close, but not quite..........
Coyl ;) .................but we need the heavy bit... :)
-
Coylton................
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayhay...that's it Coylton.....home of the anciemt Kings of Scotland.....
Over to you..... :scare:

No sorry :no: ,and nothing to do with drink.

:no: ,and nothing to do with drink.
That's not like you Unc :lol: :lol:
There's a Turkey Island in Hampshire ?? is it there perhaps :-\
-
That's not like you Unc
:o :lol:
No anything to do with turkey,but on the right lines
-
Ducklington? :'(
-
Ducklington? :'(
:o :D
No sorry,its not poultry......think about what other special meaty treat you might have at Christmas.
-
Is there a Mince Pie Island over there ? ;D
-
I was thinking of mincemeat too ;D
There's Partridge Green in West Sussex... :-\
-
:hmm: a nice big festive ham.....and it's a centrepiece...
Middleham, North Yorkshire ? :-\

HG was HG Wells. ;D
I'll be back...
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I see now - silly me ::) :)
-
:)
OK, as we're into easy ones now...
Benny Goodman with a lisp
-
What a clever clue TD,obviously too clever for some of us......
Oooooo you are clever Eric ! .... I'm having a blonde moment (even though I'm brunette , I still don't know what HG means
I'm blonde and I have those 'moments' all the time. :lol:
-
Eric could it be Thwing in the East Riding .... Benny Goodman was the King of Thwing ;D
-
Well done, you got it straight away! Thwing it is. :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:

:o That was a brunette moment ;D
Is this where TD might hide ?

Well done that 'Brunette' :D
I think I am out of my depth on here............... :D
UB's off to see if there is any 'uni' places left.

>>> Is this where TD might hide <<<
:silly: :scare:
-
Well, TD being a drake, he might hide in a hole, so
Drakeholes, Notts? :-\
-
Oooops, didn't realise that was the clue :-[.............must try harder.. :blush:
-
:lol:
-
:lol: @ TD see what happens when I make them easy ! :lol:
Well it's VERY close Eric but not the HOLE I was thinking of - go further south west ! ..... what does TD stand for ;)
-
:lol:
Are we at Tufton, near Pembroke ? :-\
-
:no: we are in a HOLE ..... what's the other part of TD ? ;)
I feel I'm being very pedantic with Eric .... but hey ho :lol: :lol:

Duckhole is a small village within view of Oldbury Nuclear Power Station in South Gloucestershire, England.

Gosh, that one is too small to appear in either of my atlases. :)

Yes, same here. :(
Thank you, Wikipedia.... :D

Gosh, that one is too small to appear in either of my atlases. :)
small is beautiful in this case :lol: >:D
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: TD has it !! (sorry Eric for not accepting Drake .... had it been in the same County I would have done :D )
Our UK atlases are so out of date now, that I use an on-line map to find places - I hope this doesn't make it more difficult everyone :angel: :angel:

The White House is quite posh.......beach :hmm:

Are we at Heap, near Bury in Lancashire :-\

The opposite of nice is:
Nasty, Hants?

OK..
Two thirds of this place appear to be missing.
-
Ooh, I think I'm getting the hang of this female logic thing
:scare: can't have that !!! must get more devious :lol:
There's a place called Thirdpart in North Ayreshire ...... could that be it ? :-\
-
You've got the right idea, but :no:
-
:hmm: two thirds missing from an hour would leave only twenty minutes.
Twenty, in Lincolnshire :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Kate's answer was on the right track, and geographically closer too.
-
It's the first and last parts which seem to be missing... ;)
-
:idea:
Are we in the Borders country........ Middlethird :-\
-

Gosh, feminine logic strikes again..... :D

-

-
No both I'm afraid.........a scent will lead you to the first part

Based on 'smell 'being associated with scent .... could we be in Smelthouses in North Yorkshire ? :-\

Right area Kate,you just need to get a bit fruity :blush: :D

:lol: :lol: Unc, I have my map upside down, so I'm OK :P ;D
-
Coldstream?

apart from that you're quite close

:no: Sorry Colin ! this place is in a well known wet area ;)
-
Warmwell in Dorset?
-
:no: sorry again Colin ..
ooooooop north and west !! watery area !!! look at cold and see what it could almost be !! and think of another piece of water !!! get all that together and you've got it ;D
-
??? Good grief.....the wee hints are worse than the clue.... :D
Does this mean that we are in the Lake District ( or are we merely lost ;D )
-
Wast Water ???
-
:no: sorry Unc not Wast water ....
...... as if I'd get you all lost :angel:
::) ::) I shall try again :wall: :lol: Yes we are in the Lake District .... North west watery area ! look at COLD and what is it Almost .....it's not a burn, it's not a well and it's not just water ..... you mind find little Rebecca there !

Now this is really an easy one..... ;)
strange soup preparation
-
Now this is really an easy one. :-X
Well, Birds Nest soup is strange (if it is the soup that's strange) so I'll have a quick guess at Neston, Wirral. ................ if it's the preparation that's strange -that's another matter :'(
-
:no:
if it's the preparation that's strange ;)
-
Well, cold soup is a bit of a strange preparation - except Vichyssoise ! there's a place called Coldham in Staffs ... and I suppose a cold ham soup would be a strange preparation ...... :-\ I'm clutching at straws here :lol:
-
:no:
>>>I'm clutching at straws here<<< :-X
-
A well-known make is Campbell's so it wouldn't be
Campbeltown
would it? :no:
-
Baxters make a soup called Cock-a -Leekie..........are we in Leek.
-
:no: to both, I'm afraid..... :(
Leave the soup aside and concentrate on the preparation of soup stages.. :)
-
:no: to both, I'm afraid..... :(
Leave the soup aside and concentrate on the preparation of soup stages.. :)

A home for an old dog?

Can I try Battersea ? ..... although that may be a bit too easy ;D
-
old dog..... :-\..............fire dog perhaps...?
Ingleton in Yorkshire :hmm:
-
I've been thinking ..... Are we perhaps talking about an old Sea Dog ? Francis Drake ?? are we at Buckland Abbey ?
-
Sorry, no to those. :no:
Elvis might be of assistance.. ;)
-
Hound in Hampshire ?
-
or Hound Green, also in Hants.. :-\

Houndslow

>> Houndslow :lol:
Sorry, no, not a hound. Think of 'old'...

Elvis sang about Old Shep ??? but I can't think of a place :'(

-
Shepshed in Leicestershire ?
-
Colliton in Devon ? :-\
-
>> Shepshed in Leicestershire
That's it! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
That was a shot in the dark ;D
I'll be back ...
Sounds like a church official !
-
Deane in Hants. :-\
-
:no:
further north, but not as far as the Shetlands ;D
-
:no:
further north, but not as far as the Shetlands ;D
Well that narrows it down a bit. :-X :D
-
;D Oh all right then ........ just when I was having fun >:D
it sounds like someone who looks after something specific in a church .... it has a sacred connection ;)
-
>>> it has a sacred connection <<<
Most things about a church do...... :D
a Sacristan would look after all sorts or treasures and relics.
Sacriston near Durham ? :hmm:
-
>> Well that narrows it down a bit.
At least we know it's not on the Isle of Wight (unless Kate's got her map upside down again) :lol:
I was going to suggest Vickerstown (Cumbria) but it doesn't fit the last clue. :-\
-
Whey hey, TD's done it again !!!! :clap2: :thumbs: .... I thought my clues where my easiest yet :lol:

Wayhay hoohoooooo :D

Your first answer was not too far away.. ;)

Pint please

A really easy one:
Lead on..
-
Walkers Green
-
Sorry :no:
-
Guide, near Blackburn... :-\
-
:no:
It's a Shakespearean misquote ;)
-
That's something to do with Macduff isn't it ..... Lay on not lead on ?? just need to find somewhere that sounds like that ...... I don't suppose it's Lyon is it :lol:
There is a Layton near Blackpool in Lancashire ? but doens't make much sense I suppose !
-
>> That's something to do with Macduff isn't it ;)
-
Is it everything to do with Macduff
Macduff, near Aberdeen. :-\

:no: (wouldn't want to disappoint you :D)
-
if you follow this, you're lost
A dead end,wrong turn............am I on the right(or wrong in this case) track. :D :no:
-
An erroneous route or method.......Scottish style maybe.
;D
-
Is there a place called Wrangway ??

Good guessing beats feminine intuition..... :lol:

Are we in the East Riding of unkyUb territory.....
Faxfleet... :-\
-

WOW!!!! things are moving fast here to (faster than the Shetland ferry)I'm still at the docks waiting :lol:
Send us a postcard, unkyUb :lol:
Oh, got the last one right, time to think up another....... :hmm:
:idea: keep like a baking agent
-
Warmly near Bristol ? :-\
-
:no:
-
Doughton
-
:no:
a baking agent.....or an agent in baking... :hmm:
-
:no:
a baking agent.....or an agent in baking... :hmm:
What like James Bond............licenced to sift
flour,water,yeast,salt...........put them together and you get bread............ :shrug2:
-
Warburton near Manchester .. I believe there is Warburton's Bread :-\
-
A baking agent could be baking soda (bicarb) but that doesn't get me much further...
-
>>Warburton :no:
>>baking soda (bicarb) :no:
>>flour,water,yeast,salt...........put them together and you get bread<< ;)
It would be a bit flat without this :)
-
Levens, Cumbria ?
-
:no:
unkyUb mentioned the agent...we need to know what it does then put it after keep. :)
Lovely time of year in Norfolk ;)
-
Castle Rising ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Castle Rising it is............see, easy peasy... ;D
Over to you.
-
Oooooo c'est moi ;D
A place for poachers perhaps ?
-
Gamesley,on the edge of the peak district,nr Glossop
-
:no: sorry Unc !
-
Troutbeck,in the Lake District
-
:hmm: a waterway of some sort where a poacher may pinch a fish.
Are we in Lincolnshire, at Pinchbeck..... :-\
-
:no: to both ....
concentrate on the game ;) ;D
-
Game???
Pheasants Hill ,nr Henley-on-Thames
-
:no:
think if what a poacher (or a hunter) would need ;)
-
Sussex................Gun Hill :-\
-
:no:
You right with the gun, but what does that produce ! You wouldn't want to find any in the game ;)
-
:no:
You right with the gun, but what does that produce ! You wouldn't want to find any in the game ;)
Shot? and theres plenty of them so we'll start with.......Shotley in Northants
-
Shot :thumbs: now you just need the rest ..............
what would a poacher have with him as well as a gun ?? this could carry you to the answer ;)
-
Bagshot
-
Whey hey Unc .... Bagshot in Surrey :clap: :thumbs: :clap2: ...your turn !
-
OK,here's an easy one to finish the day off,
An undergroung place of worship perhaps.
-
Lower Chapel in Powys..... :-\
-
No,sorry :no:
-
Churchdown in Gloucestershire ? :-\
-
No sorry,
The place of worship is the second part of the answer..
-
:hmm: Is this an unkyUb special ?
He is not long returned from his holidays down Thetford way, and may have visited Thetford Priory.
Close to that is Thetford Warren Lodge, and rabbits live underground in warrens..
Are we at Thetford Priory ? :-\
(TD grasps at passing straw :blush: )
-
Is this an unkyUb special ?
Not at all TD >:D :D
You need to be in the west country,and the house of worship is on the large side.
And don't forget the underground bit
-
:(
A well would spring from an underground chamber......Wells Cathedral ? :-\
-
:no: Sorry.........
A place of work and worship.............. ;)
-
Underground working area in the West Country.............. Cornish tin mine :-\
Tintern Abbey :hmm:
-
:no: sorry
you are nearly there.......another name for a mine and another name for a house of worship
-
Fountainhall in the Scottish Borders ? :-\
-
You need to be in the west country
Fountainhall in the Scottish Borders ? :-\
You need to get your atlas out..... :-X :D
-
Filton Abbey, near Coalpit Heath on the edge of Bristol... :-\
-
:wall:
Remove the coal bit and the you need to add it to a very,very large place of worship....Theres one in the North of England ;)
-
:idea:
Aha....are we in Zummerzet.......Pitminster :-\
-
You got it TD.............Pitminster it is.
:thumbs: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you maestro..................
-
:cry2: :cry2: I got lost !!!! Well done TD ..... :clap2:

:cry2: :cry2: I got lost !!!!
Thats not like you Kate,you usually get us lost :D
You better have some :flower: seeing as you have turned the waterworks on. :D
-
Woohooo ;D
Phew, unkyUb, you are getting much too good at this game....no wonder poor scottiesmum was lost.......and she was not the only one ! :D
TD has been plotting his revenge, so here goes....
Sounds like a Noel pup
-
noel......season ? :-\
-
Winterbourne Bassett, Wilts?
-
:clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Yayhay....that's it.....
Winterbourne Bassett...........what a fabulous name... :)
-
>> what a fabulous name
Isn't it just! ;D
OK...
What happens when a tree dies
-
:hmm:
A narrow wooded valley could be a dene, and my Collins dictionary allows the alternative dean....
Rottingdean :-\
-
Sorry but no tortuous logic is needed :lol:
When a tree dies, ...........
-
:blush: :D ( I was just practicing for scottiesmum's next clue :lol: )
Are we back in Wiltshire, at Woodfalls :-\
-
Woodfalls it is! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
I was just practicing for scottiesmum's next clue
:lol:

As TD cannot remember what place he was thinking about :-[ will take that as a winner...... :D
Over to you... ;D
That sounds a good idea TD. :D
-
I thought I would cheat and give myself another turn... ;D just to start the game again.
Will be generous when Kitz returns and offer her a free go...!
This is a simple one just to keep you all puzzling.
Ok
Very difficult to saw.
-
guessed at Hardwood, but according to google maps theres only Harwoods.
/back to the drawing board.
-
Well Oak is very difficult to work with so........
Oakwood
-
:no:
Oooops, TD jumps queue and gets caught red-handed by The Boss :-[..............trundles off to NC.
:hmm: NC = Naughty Corner.......naughty, sounds familiar ;)
-
naughty.........that sounds like... :-\
-
Gorrit!
Knotty Ash
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayhay....that's it..Knotty Ash.
Over to you, or Kitz who was bundled out of line by a bad mannered TD.... :-[
-
I don't think anyone would call you bad-mannered, TD. But you're right, it should be Kitz' turn now. :)
-
It looks as though Kitz is otherwise tied up at the moment, so I guess it's my turn to leap in:
A chilly place for donkeys?
-
This is just a thought ;D donkey as in nodding donkey as in oil production .... WELL ........ and chilly COLD
Is there a Coldwell or Cold Well over there ? :-\
Oooooo there's a Coldwells, Aberdeenshire - could that be it ?
-
It looks as though Kitz is otherwise tied up at the moment, so I guess it's my turn to leap in:
A chilly place for donkeys?
Is there a place call....Freezing my Ass off ?
-
Donkeys 'bray'.......
Cold Brayfield.
-
Is there a place call....Freezing my Ass off ?
:lol:
Cold Brayfield
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That didn't take long, did it? :(
-
Ok,
You could be at the end of your tether here............
-
>>>Is there a place call....Freezing my Ass off ?<<< :lol:
:hmm: could the tether be in the way of being tied up, knotted....the knot at the end :-\
Knott End-on-Sea, Lancashire....... ;D...... :no:
-
Well that didn't last long (I new it was too easy) :D
Knott-end-on-Sea it is,well done TD. :clap2:
Over to you maestro...............
-
Wayhay...woohooo.... :clap:
hokaydokey.....easy one this afternoon....
Impasses and arguments
-
Knott End ! I've always thought that if ever a place deserved its name, that did :D
Still in Lancashire, there is a place called Corner Row ........... an impasse is slang for corner ( I think !) and Row as in argument ..... so that's my guess :'(
-
>>Knott End ! I've always thought that if ever a place deserved its name, that did << :lol:
Corner Row... :no:
-
Knott End ! I've always thought that if ever a place deserved its name, that did :D
-
@ Kitz.....you'll just have to buy a small rowing boat... :D
>>>Impasses and arguments<<<......................turtles, too ;)
-
:crazy: :hmm:.................... so far I have, (in order) jam, cease, end,calm, peace, cul de sac .......... bicker, fight,row,brawl, tiff ..............Turtles :'( turn turtle :no:
does anything look promising :lol:
(there used to be a ferry service from Knott End to Fleetwood, don't know if it still operates ......it was from one exciting place to another :lol: - apologies to anyone who likes Knott End, but I remember, even from childhood , being totally underwhelmed :lol:) You brought back some memories TD :) )
-
>>>does anything look promising<<< :no:................well maybe "jam" in an oblique sort of way... :)
-
there used to be a ferry service from Knott End to Fleetwood, don't know if it still operates
You've just missed it Kate........ :lol:

I knew TD had a sideline...... :lol:
-
:lol:
I'm still having a tussle with the turtle :D
-
:lol:
-
:lol: :lol:
***jam ( as mentioned by you know who )........breed of turtle..... :-\......... :hmm:
I like Staffy bull terriers, how about you ?
-
TD, Have you raiding our cellar ? :drunk: :lol: :lol: Turtle jam ! Staffy bull terriers ! :-\ :'( :lol:
-
:lol:
>>TD, Have you raiding our cellar ?<<
no, no, of course not :blush:
impasse/blockage........***jam
We are in Staffs...
Breed of turtle which begins with the *** above.
Perhaps it would be quicker just to give the answer... :D
-
Perhaps it would be quicker just to give the answer... :D
yes, but it wouldn't be as much fun :lol: off to Staffs !!
-
Well ................... ::) you'll like this :D !!!! Jam can be red ...... and there's a red turtle ...... and back to the argument ...... SO ....... is there a Redrow in Staffs ? I can't find one but I thought I'd guess at that :'(
-
:no:
To reiterate..... :lol: blockage = ***jam
-
....... :lol: ............... :o You're not telling me there's a place called Logjam are you :lol: :lol:
-
@ kate - yes the ferry still runs but only in the summer... and youre quite right theres nothing much there

BTW you may joke about row-boats... but these are the size of the ships that come in up the estuary, despite it being so narrow.

My clue: fastens planks

I think we're going to need another clue.. :)
-
There's place called Nailwell in Avonn :D I suppose you'd have to nail planks well :'(
-
You're thinking on the right lines Kate, but the first part sounds a bit more secure than nailing.
-
:idea:
Stixwould, Lincs?
-
Bolton
-
Right kind of thinking Eric - another clue if you need it - borders onto Surrey.
-
TD is baffled with this one.....possibly a wee nudge in the right direction may help..

-
Staples
-
You're all close-ish, but no cigars quite yet... one more clue if you need it as I know it is a fiendish one, but a favourite childhood holiday destination for me as it's where my maternal grandmother lived.

Loxwood. ;)

Big cigar for Uncy!

Wow,that took some sorting out......... :swoon:
OK.............

You could get wet there if your not careful.

Waterbeach (Cambridgeshire)?

:hmm:
You would get accidentally wet if you fell into a river.......Fallin, near Stirling... :-\
-
No to both,sorry, :no:
But the second part of Floydy's answer is in the right direction ;)
-
A little 'feminine logic' here ::) or not ;D If you are 'not careful' you could be unwise ..... so taking the wise ..and adding beach would give you Wisbech (pronon Wisbeach) :'( :-\
so are we in Wisbech ?

The 'feminine logic' hasn't worked...... :D

Ford over a river....sand... :-\
Sandyford, in Ayrshire :hmm:

>>>am I in the realms of fantasy again<<<

-
Barrow-in-Furness?

-
We're doomed....the *** is high ! :(

We're doomed....the *** is high ! :(
end........of.......material=steel or maybe coal industries...
Steel Green in Cumbria.........
-
Is this somebody's 'end' or the 'end' of somebody ? :-\ (I know what I mean :D)
I remember Harris End Fell in Lancashire ...... but not sure that fits the bill :'(
-
@ unkyUb..... :no:
@scottiesmum..... :no:
material ( not specific ).....valley (as ooop north).......death, for which read end.. ;)
See, it's simple :).............and Cumbria sounds ok..
-
Non specific material... :hmm:............stuff ?..............matter ?..... :-\

:'( You've flummoxed me here TD ...I exhausted going round and round Cumbria :D I know you've almost spelt it out :-\ ...... I think I'm having a senior blonde moment :D

stuff or matter + oop north valley (Yorkshire *****) + end................. ;)
-
Dale Bottom

-
Piddle? :lol:
(There's a brewery there :sick: )
-
:lol:
:no:...................where ? :)
-
:D
There's a place called Waterhouses in Staffs :-\ ( and it's not far from Sheffield ;D )
-
:no: sorry.
You would go here to "go" but as unkyUb could not "go" this was a no go area fo him..............simple really.. :)
-
Boghead? ('head' being the place on a boat where you 'go')
-
Looe ?

Aaaargh....a scottiesmum special.... :silly:........ ;D

;D
Is this an anagram - "the lad turns" ?
-
:D :D tee hee >:D
Not an anagram Eric .... it's the lad that turns ....
-
:idea:
Dalguise, Perthshire (the literary connection is Beatrix Potter)

YES Eric, on all counts ..... :clap: :thumbs: :clap2: :clap: ..... I can see I'll have to 'up' the devious side of me :lol:

>>> mind you I can't even remember what day it is <<< :-X :-X :D
-
I'll think again then !!! :'( after the siesta ;D

Think artificer, not seamstress :)

A mechanical pin which holds two or more surfaces together but allows them to rotate independently of each other.... :hmm:
-
There's a Spindlestone in Northumberland ............ I think a spindle fits :-\ but the stone bit confuses me (not difficult ::) ) ... I'm not very equestrian ;D
-
:no: sorry, not a spindle.........but something similar.
Do you like the poems of Robert Burns ?
There's one, I just can't quite remember the title...."The ******* Saturday Night" :-\

Oooooooooooooo Eric :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I was nowhere near, and I didn't have a clue that a stock is an equestrian cravat .... I learn all sorts on here ;D I've put that in the memory bank !
-
In hindsight, the whole thing was a bit obscure.. :-[
>:D
-
I quite enjoy the 'obscure' at times .... :D I bet you would never have guessed that would you :lol:
-
Well, I seem to have pinched the answer after Kate did all the work, but I'll beg forgiveness and carry on anyway... ;D

The bells, the bells....

>>>Is there such a thing as a quiet one<<<
Yes, if it were sounding like this.... ;)

-
Hotham, in Yorkshire............. :-\
-
Blue Anchor, Somerset? (blue = very rare)
-
:no: :no: to both ............. you're correct oooooop North TD !
think of a cooking term ..... then remove a letter ......
-
I think it is all these "feminine logic" style clues which broke the site today.........got me baffled, too... :'(
:lol:
:hmm:........cooking term ? Cordon bleu, but only half cooked.
Ayrshire, at Cordon.... :-\
-
:lol:

A nuisance of a dress !
-
TD has never worn a dress.......don't say it !......but would imagine that a long dress could be a nuisance at times.
Long dress.....maxi......are we at Maxey, near Peterbrough :-\
:no:
-
;D
:no: sorry TD ....
use a more colloquial word for nuisance and a more formal dress.
-
:hmm:............gown........ingown :-\
something......ingown... ???
-
forget the ' ing ' ! ;)
re the nuisance, it could sound like a form of dance !
-
Are we up in the Highlands of old Scotia...... :-\

sounds like a dance...ball...bal
Balgown ? :hmm: not sure about the nuisance, so must be wrong... :no:
-
Ballygown! (What a nuisance that bally gown is ;D )

A ship has a navigation bridge.......these pigs, could they be pig-iron.... :-\ ( used in same ship as ballast)
Ironbridge ?.................. :(...... :no:
-
Not those kinds of pigs I'm afraid. We're in the animal world. ;)
-
There's a place in the Highlands called Farreline ..... Farre ... farrow of pigs .... Line ... shipping line ? feminine logic again ::)
-
Sorry :no:
It's a lot more obvious than that (male logic, naturally). :graduate:
Does 'pearls' make you think of anything?
-
Swinefleet Yorkshire ? Your male logic might have worked Eric ;D
-
>> Your male logic might have worked Eric :lol:
And it did - Swinefleet it is :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
It's all yours...

I'll have to adapt to male logic I see :D

Sounds like the end of a policeman !
-
Are we back at Copdock ( again..it does seem to crop up every so often :D )
policeman .... cop
end......tail....tail docked...
:-\
-
:no: sorry TD....
actually "it sounds like the end of a policeman" at the beginning .... if that doesn't confuse you ! (nothing will) :lol:
-
Ah, that has cleared things up a bit....... :scare:
:D
-
:lol: thought it would !!
think of the end of something ....as in fini then find a policeman - jiggle them about slightly ! et voila ! ;D
-
It's always helpful to have things explained clearly :lol:
-
Still no joy :'( ... OK then ...
the policeman was also an artist !
-
If you reach the end, you could have "gone for a burton"
Policeman/artist......Constable.
Burton Constable, in Yorkshire ? :-\
-
:no:
BUT you have the correct policeman ! now for the 'end' bit .... when you've finished with something, you have .... with it ;) think about that word ..then think about the constable .... mix them up and voila !
PS. you won't need all of the constable
The end could also be part of a sand hill ;) does that help :-\
Eric, does that explain it more clearly ? :lol:
-
Done with it.......dun ?
bit of constable......stable. ?
Dunstable ? :-\
-
WHEY HEY ! :clap: :thumbs: easy wasn't it :D Constable sounds like Dunstable :angel:

A rock where you might find liquid refreshment

:hmm:
Are we in Morayshire, at Stonewells :-\
-
Sorry :no:
You might like to look in the direction of East Anglia ;)

I'm thinking that the rock could be stone?
Is the liquid refreshment alcoholic ?
-
>> I'm thinking that the rock could be stone? ;)
>> Is the liquid refreshment alcoholic ? :no:

What do you do with liquid refreshment?

Several Sybils
-
As far I can remember there was only one Sybil Fawlty ;D
-
:-[
:D
-
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"
The Bard.. :)
-
One of the most famous Sybils was Dame Sybil Thorndike...
Then there's the child actress Sybil Jason, and the buxom Sybil Danning...
None of which helps at all ;D
-
>>>Dame Sybil Thorndike.<<<< ;)
Just got to jiggle the spelling a wee bit. :).......and there are several
-
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players"

Stratford-on Avon

Well, it was nearly a good clue... :blush:
Over to you... ;D
-
>> Well, it was nearly a good clue
I can guess whose logic you were trying to emulate ;D
OK..
Not a quick victory
-
;D do you mean TD's getting the hang of feminine logic :D
Winslow in Bucks ?
-
Wow! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
I think that you must be getting the hang of male logic :'(
-
Dear me, you pop out for ten minutes and everybody starts playing the fool... :no:...just like a bunch of kids.. :D
-
I think that you must be getting the hang of male logic
Between Hubby and here I get LOTS of practise :lol:
Dear me, you pop out for ten minutes and everybody starts playing the fool.
:o is there only me who takes this seriously :lol: :lol:
.... here we are ....
Many people could rest their feet here !
-
:lol:
:hmm:...........many people...hundred ?
Your feet are at the end of your body... ;D
Hundred End, in Lancashire... :-\
-
:no: ..... sorry TD .... concentrate on resting the feet and the "many" will become evident ....I think this is more male logic that feminine :D
-
>>I think this is more male logic that feminine<<< :silly:
Are we in Sussex..............Hassocks :-\
-
et VOILA ! :thumbs: :clap2: :clap: I knew when I mentioned male logic you'd get it :lol: over to you ! ;D
-
Wayhay..... :D
ok
old fashioned sulking
-
There's a Hough in Argyll and Bute .... and someone sulking could be described as being in a huff ... so that's my guess !! :-\
-
:no: sorry
Way, way too far north.. :)
-
There's a place called Mumps near Oldham, Lancashire ... mump was an old word for sulking ...so that's my next guess ;D
-
:no: sorry
Still too far north...and the answer lies in the soil font.... :)
-
But not a baptismal font... :)
-
If we're talking about typographical fonts, then the world, as Hercule Poirot once said, is our lobster. But looking through the list of standard Windows fonts, the only 'old fashioned' names which leap out are Roman, Gothic, Antiqua and Trebuchet...
Back to the drawing board...
-
Well I'm stumped ...... but my feminine logic is going into overdrive again ;D There is a font called Marlett .... there's an 'old' Lancashire word - marde, which means soft (as in pathetic) which could describe sulking ...is there a Marlett in the UK ?? I know this is far fetched (even for me :lol:)
-
@ roseway.... :no:
@ scottiesmum........... :-X..... :no:
Sorry.. :-\
What would an old fashioned S look like... :hmm:
-
Sort of like ff (I can't find that symbol)
Places beginning with ff are:
Ffair Rhos
Ffairfach
Ffestiniog
Fforest
Ffostrasol
Ffrith
Ffynnongroyw
No sulking there, that I can see :-\
-
A singular S/f perhaps :)
-
:idea: :doh:
Fulking, W Sussex

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Yayhay...Fulking it is.
Who's next... :)

-
>>should I get a new map<< :lol:
You are being overly complex............a quick selection from TD's wee list followed by a thouroughfare ( at least, it sounds like one ;) )
Sutton Hoo in Suffolk..... :no:............west, go west.. :)
-
Would we be in Somerset, Hunstrete?

A charm could be pleasant......or mischevious and malignant... :(
-
Is this some sort of spell? I thought of Spellbrook, but that didn't quite fit...
-
Sort of spell...in modern parlance ;)
-
The techies may recognise "base-16" :)
-
The techies may recognise "base-16" :)
That rules me out then. ;D
-
:idea:
Aha! Base 16 is hexadecimal (hex) and a hex is a spell.
So it must be Hexworthy, Devon/Corwall ?
-
are we in Hexworthy in Devon ? :-\ :'(
Ooooooo Eric ... I'd pressed before I saw the red warning !!!!! we're using the same map :D
It's a bit like buses - you wait ages and then two come at once :lol:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayhay....Hexworthy it is... ;D
You both got it at the same time....you'll have to sort out the next poster amongst you... :)

Eric you were 29 seconds in front ... in a cycle race that would be a huge difference ;D so over to you ! I'll get back on my bike :D

I really ought to let you have it Kate, but we could spend the whole day saying "No, after you.." to each other, so here goes:
A collection of French streets
-
:hmm: french streets......rues
Are we at Roos......ooop Yorkshire..?

Well there's a place called Rue Point on the Isle of Man ..... and I suppose a collection of streets would meet at a point :'( :'( n'est-ce pas ? ;D
-
>> rues ;)
>> Isle of Man :no: but it is an island some way from the mainland, where you might expect to find French streets
-
Jersey ?

Tom down, in a scottish idiom ( it's easy peasy... :) )

Maisie and I were in London having my sight checked - good news was received - Maisie may be redundant as a "seeing" dog and able to retire to being a pet!
Think of what you might do to fruit to deconstruct it ........ press?
Think of a fruit that is black, found in hedgerows and take away the colour?
Then work on "sounds like", using a version of the past tense on the first part
I can't drop any more hints ..... can I?

Tanner?.............
If we got one when were kids it was called gold dust. :D
You could do some serious damage in the sweet shop with one of those. :D
-
:D
That was my pocket money.......my Saturday Sixpence.............when I first got it in the early 1930s. it was worth a fair bit but over the years it seemed to decline in value..but I never got a pay rise.
The village sweetie shop was then owned and run by my aunt and uncle and they were under strict instructions from my Ma as to my limits on boiling buying....one penny a week on that and the rest into my piggy-bank. ;D
Tanner... ;)........what would he work with.. :hmm:
-
Talking of sweets,have a look here.........no 1930's prices I'm afraid. :D
http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/index.php

Gosh, that takes me back a few years.............gobstoppers, :yum:...........four for a penny and a good one would last all day if you were careful and didn't suck too hard. :D
-
Gosh, that takes me back a few years.............gobstoppers, :yum:...........four for a penny and a good one would last all day if you were careful and didn't suck too hard. :D

;D here we are ...... it's important to remember that I have freedom of the city of Hungladder !!!! (that's a hint ;D ) and the clue is ......
A fine tune making it to No. 23 :angel:
-
M'mmm...I know David Beckham wore the No23 shirt at Real madrid..
Beckhampton in Wiltshire........
But knowing how >:D That French lady can be..........and There is no 'fine tuning' connection I can think of.........
-
>>> I know David Beckham wore the No23 shirt at Real madrid..
Is that why they were so successful? I don't know much about football, but I thought most teams only had 11 players... ???
-
:lol: @ both !
Unc ...there is a musical connection ................. green grass might help but it's not in Wales !! that would be too easy peasy ;D
-
green grass might help but it's not in Wales
Green,green grass of home,by Tom Jones........Did he wear the No23 shirt.........but not when he played in Wales...... :D

:hmm:...........I think this is another scottiesmum special... ???
All this green grass, but not in Wales............forty shades of green. Are we in Ireland somewhere ?
Number 23...............23rd. letter of the alphabet ? W
TD is baffled for the moment.. :(
-
......I think this is another scottiesmum special... - Moi ? ;D
Not Ireland TD :no:
The number 23 is significant in an ordinal way ! I wouldn't lead you down the wrong path :angel: Look at the whole clue again : A fine tune making it to No. 23.
-
>>> I wouldn't lead you down the wrong path <<<

Its not Sheffield then..... :D

TD - I'm slightly worried that you are asking questions about your clue :lol:
I think its a combination of ,frostbite, snow blindness and lack of sausages......I was just about to send Blue up with some,but they seem to have............... :shrug2: :D
-
@ scottiesmum...........you're worried....what do you think it's like from my end... :swoon:
@ unkyUb..... :lol:
The fastest adsl connection would be the maximum speed you could get.. ;)
-
:D
even with my map upside down I'm lost :cry2: I need the RAC .... really amiable clue :lol:
-
Oh dear........what happened to the logic and the multi-tasking... :lol:
OK, wee hint. Have been thinking of ADSL-Max.
Max, now that's a good start.....( start, he says, sniggering....the word has been plastered all over the place :D )
Should be easy-peasy now.. ;)
-
.......what happened to the logic and the multi-tasking... :lol:
They're having the day off :lol:
OK ...with the Huge hint you've obviously given :D There's a Maxton in Kent .... :-\ but I'm not convinced I've got the hint :lol:

OK .... I'll relent a little ....
Another word for job ..... and a condition which is more than just wet - ..... turn them around and voila ! ;)
-
OY ! come on, you can't have all given up :o :D
-
I've been trying (sometimes I can be very trying), but I'm baffled. :(
-
;D
OK I shall try and help even further ::) :lol:
Another word for job .... the job anyone does ..... instead of very wet what about another word for a Wuss :D ..... put them together, turn them around and VOILA !!
-
???
TD has been thinking about Wimpstone.........but cant see the job in that... :no:
-
:no: sorry TD .....
ooooops ... I've just seen I've told you turn them round when you find the two words..... well ...errrrrr ... don't do that !! :lol:
OK .... where do people go when they go to do their jobs (in general) what are you when you are absolutely soaking wet ..... OR another word for a wimp , wuss, weak willed whatever :-X
-
:idea:
Well, now that you have corrected your misinformation........... :lol:
We can only be at Worksop........erm, perhaps,...or did you wish to change the clue again... :D

Right..
A large building devoted to torture?
-
A large building devoted to torture?
I know where this is leading. :scare:
-
;D
-
If it's not the NC :D could it be Dungeness ? (I only thought of that because it's in your area (ish) :'( )
-
Sorry :no:
As always your logic is a delight to us all. ;D
-
What does torture result in? ;)
-
I hesitate to think about that....which is just a feeble way of confessing to puzzlement.. ???
-
If someone does something nasty to you with a pair of nutcrackers, what do you feel? :'(
-
I'm now even more hesitant to think about this... :scare: :swoon:
-
If someone does something nasty to you with a pair of nutcrackers, what do you feel? :'(

OK ..... Be prepared with a popular gift ! (the highlighted words should help ;D )
-
I know the snow's bad but come on ..... get the chains on and the map out :D
-
???...........I've got the chains on the horseless carriage, but it's not helping much.. :D
:hmm:.......is the Be Prepared bit anything to do with Scouts/Baden-Powell :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ....
-
I'm trying to think of popular gifts:
For the wife - vacuum cleaner
For the girlfriend - skimpy underwear
For the husband - electric drill
For the boyfriend - aftershave
For the kids - anything beginning with i
... but none of those sound like place names :-\
-
the gift would be an indication of your sentiments ................ something you could choose yourself !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Kent......Ringwould :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ...
Look at the word Prepared as an adjective ! a popular gift .... one that's easy to deliver/send/receive !
-
OK ..... well it's apparent, from elsewhere, that the travelling Kitizens have thrown away their maps, switched off their GPS'sssssss and are not even 'phoning the RAC :lol:
So I shall come to your rescue :angel: ........
OK - are you ----- prepared !!!! big hint there ....... you can take this as a ----- of my kindness ..... another big hint there ..... join hints et VOILA .... I should mention that it is a very small place >:D
Another clue, a famous Doctor went to this County !!!!!!
Bonne Route :lol:
-
I guess that the gift is 'token' but I'm still struggling with the 'prepared' part :'(
-
Hmmmm :hmm:...also still puzzled a bit...well, a lot really :D
Famous doctor.........Doctor Foster went to Gloucester...does that help.. :-\

;D Yes to both !
It is an unusual place name .... but it's real ;D

Any way, back to the serious business:
A place to find corrupt police officers?
-
Ah, sanity returns... :D
:hmm:..........miscreant rozzers may find themselves before the beak, nay yet in the dock.

Are we in Upper Teesdale, at High Force.. :-\
-
Good thinking, but sorry, no :no:
Your first answer was much nearer the mark. ;)
-

-
I keep getting drawn to Cop Street in Kent ...... but I can't connect corrupt with street ... (but I am a little innocent at heart :angel: ) and it's in your area again ! :-\

(I was cut off in the middle of this .... power cut ...... hubby went off to get generator geared up, I collected all the LED battery run strip lights and candles ... and VOILA electricity back on )
-
I'm going to appeal to the adjudicator, even though you allowed my answer. Castle Cary is in Somerset, but Castle Carey is in St Peter Port on Guernsey. :graduate:
So there! ;D
I'll be back...
-
Now, now.....you've got to make allowances for her......( :drunk:....... ;).....)

cygnet
-
Well........................ feminine logic back ;D are we in Swanage in Dorset, because a cygnet is a swan of a certain age :'(
-
:no: sorry..........but on the right sort of track :)
-
I could add that the cygnet is not black, and although it is not mute, it does not whoop. :)
-
So it's not a mute swan or a whooper swan..
It could be a trumpeter swan which, made smaller, becomes
Trumpet in Herefordshire?
-
:no: sorry.
Identify another species....... ;)
-
I've heard of a Beswick Swan, but don't know if this is because it's a Swan or if it's something to do with Besiwck Porcelain :'( SO, is there a place called Beswick ? I'm guessing this, totally mapless :D
-
I was hoping there might be a place called Little Bewick, but there doesn't seem to be (unless it's a suburb of Hungladder) :-\
-
@ scottiesmum...... :no: sorry
BUT........ :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Must award the points to roseway...he is so close...
Was thinking of New Bewick, in Northumberland..
Over to you... :silly:

Woo-hoo! I'm not sure I deserve it but anyway...
Well-cured pork

Could we be at Oakham in Leicestershire .... ? Ham (bacon) well cured (smoked on oak chippings ) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :yum:

But you are on the right track ;)
-
:hmm:
Oldham.....?..... :-\
-
I suppose well-cured could be burnt !!! So is there a place called Burnham :-\
-
>> Burnham, Oldham :no:
The original purpose of curing was to make the ham do what?
-
:idea:
Cookham, near Maidenhead....? :-\
-
>> Cookham :no:
I wonder how many ***hams there are left? ;D
The original purpose of curing was preservation, so look at my last hint...
-
A preservative here is a condom ;D and there's a place called Conham in Gloucestershire :lol: >:D
-
A preservative here is a condom ;D and there's a place called Conham in Gloucestershire :lol: >:D

Many years ago I read a book by one Tristan Jones, who upon his leaving the Royal Navy at the end of the war, bought an ex-RNLI lifeboat and attempted to sail to the north pole in her... :no:
The name of this craft was "Cresswell".......and I notice two places with this name.
Cresswell....? :-\
-
Watery place for growing herbs/sandwiches............Watercress.........
Cresswell nr Worksop?
OH just pipped me TD. ;D
-
I think I have to allow that answer, because it's so close to what I was thinking of, which is Cressbrook in Derbyshire.
So it's :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: and TD just got there first, so it's all yours...

something you would throw in Scotland.......Caber
so,looks like a lorry and sounds like a caber... :-X
-
Unc, you are not that far off ..... stick with something sounding like caber ..... now think of a large store ... it may be one that's no longer in the UK ;) ;) the vehicle is like a lorry but for more people ;) ;)
-
:idea:
AberWooliesbus.....? :-\
:D
???

:lol:
You have the right vehicle TD !!! now think more alphabetically ;)
-
TD is a bit bamboozled with this one.... ???
A wee hint might help..... :help:

I've had a realisation: the alphabetical store no longer in the UK is C&A, so:
Cabus in Lancashire :dance:
-
:clap: :clap: :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2: Eric .... Your realisation was correct .... Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese Eric say it was an easy one :angel: :D

No, it was only after many hours of deep meditation and communing with my inner self that the solution appeared. ;D
Now this is an easy one:

Well it's either Acad or Emic ? :'( :lol: .... sorry I shall take it seriously now and get my upside down map out ! ;D

-
Horn, in Rutland?

What would the bull be doing with it's horns...and what about the grip ? :)
-
Horns are sometimes covered n hair ..... and to grip could be to grab .... SO .... are we in Grabhair, in the Western Isles ?
-
:no: sorry.
Go south, into foxhunting territory..............don't know how hairy the horns may be, but what is the bull doing with them ? And then there is the grip to be identified.. :)

Holdfast in Hereford perhaps ? :-\

:no: sorry
You have the correct definition for grip... :clap2:..................and Leicestershire is a well known foxhunting county.. :)

Colin, you've done what I did ... arrived so close to the name but not exactly . You are however in the correct country and I would be being far too pedantic if I didn't give this to you ... so to return the favour ... Babell,Clwyd ;D

-
@ Scottiesmum :no:
@ Roseway - you're forgetting the rootling bit! :P
-
A little help - could also describe a big piece of timber.
-
I need TD's maestro touch on this one ;D
-
A horse refusing to jump a fence may be described as baulking........and a large piece of timber could be a baulk.
Are we at Baulking in Oxfordshire. ?
-
:no: but very close ..... could say no "u" or "ing" ... if you know what I mean ;)

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Not only might it be......it is...... :D

English spelling of an eastern potentate?
-
Are we talking about tzar and csar ?? :-\ or am I in the wrong east ?
-
There's a Sarre in Kent, but if that's the answer then Kate deserves the prize...
-
No, no Eric .. If it's correct, it's yours I would ever have found it :) but thank you anyway :)
-
Now children - don't bicker :baby:
:no: Not Eastern as in Russia, but Eastern as in slightly more exotic, roughly same longitude, but more Southerly latitude. That's the clue sorted .... more Northerly for the location.
[EDIT - think Alibaba or Aladdin]
-
An Arab potentate might be a Bey.
English spelling..............Bay, near Dunvegan in Skye... :-\
-
Wrong side of the right country for the location .... Bay? :no: .... but definitely Arab. The civil and religious leader of a Muslim state considered to be a representative of Allah on earth.
-
Bump! Any more clues needed?
-
Ooooooooo I'd forgotten about this ::) had a 'fraught' day !! ....
are we talking about Califer, Moray, Scotland ? Isn't a Kalifah or Kalif a Muslim leader ?
-

Give the lady a prize! Well done Scottiesmum.

Sorry for the delay ..... I bet your all waiting with bated breath :lol: PS .. I'm still waiting for the prize :'( ;D
Monopolise a skill, then turn it around.

Monopolise a skill, then turn it around.
If you decipher 'monopolise' and 'skill' then turn it around you're there ! does that help ? >:D :D
-
Arthog, Merioneth?
-
Eric !! you've got it ! .... :clap2: :clap2: :clap: see, you said you were sulking, but really you were en route ! :lol: bravo !
-
Arthog, Merioneth?
:'( How? Can you let us have the "process" - maybe I am still a little sleepy. :no:

Monopolise = hog
Skill = art
Then put them the other way round. Simples. :lol:
I'll be back...
-
Here goes...
Very handy for lost travellers
-
Chart Sutton, in Kent..... :-\
-
:D @ Eric's simples ....
There's a place called Mappowder in Dorset :D ..... my imagination is running riot, in that it could be useful for lost travellers as it leaves a trail :lol:
-
Sorry to both :no:
Something more in situ ;)
-
Could we be in Milston in Wiltshire ....Milston - Milestone :-\
-
:hmm: Or, are we in Fife...at Milesmark :-\
-
You're both in the right direction (cluewise). What would be most helpful if you're lost?
-
Is there a place called Tom Tom ? ;D
-
He might be called Tom, I suppose :lol:
-
Are we in Bobby Hill,Suffolk ( Bobby as in policeman .... not as in Robert ;) )
-
Sorry, but you're quite near geographically. Remember the 'in situ' part, and the helpful thing (which might be a person called Tom, or any other name).
-
Dickleburgh? .... don't know why! ::)
-
:lol: Sorry, no.
The helpful person would be someone who knows the area and is able to show you the way. Put this type of person in front of something fixed in position, and you have it... ;)
-
Copper Post?
-
So close...
The helpful person probably doesn't wear a uniform, and if you scout around you'll work it out. ;)
-
Guide Post, Choppington in Northumberland?
-
>> Guide Post :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :congrats:
Over to you, Colin...

Phew! :-\ Without your VERY helpful clues, I don't know how I would have guessed.
Here goes - an easy one.
Reversed eco-currency?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Suffolk, Pound Green..... :-\
-
Are we talking one of the Pound Greens - there's one in Suffolk and another in East Sussex.
BTW I did think of Guide Post for Eric's clue, but he seemed to suggest that Kate was close geographically with her Bobby Hill... unless Northumberland's been moved and no-one's told me. :'(
-
BTW I did think of Guide Post for Eric's clue, but he seemed to suggest that Kate was close geographically with her Bobby Hill... unless Northumberland's been moved and no-one's told me.
Mea culpa. I had it in my mind that Guide Post was in Northamptonshire, not Northumberland. :-[ :'(

I've be travelling around Suffolk for ages :'( :lol:

-
I've got another one now for you ;D
Pulham, Dorset ... I definitely do that when weeding ;D
-
Cull......Clearwell.....Pulham..... :no:
hiho, seems to be causing some bother does this one... :)

Or there's Isley Marsh in Devon, which might be confused with Islay, home of a well known Scottish beverage.
-
Sorry guys.......think beer ingredient....rspb reserve

I've always suspected that Yorkshire brewers use strange ingredients in their beers. :D
Or did you just miss my earlier answer (http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,3880.msg147130.html#msg147130)? :-\

I know there were two ships, the Speedwell and the Mayflower, and they had to return to Dartmouth ...... and the Speedwell was deemed unfit to travel ... SO did they unload the Speedwell and load the Mayflower at Dartmouth I ask myself :-\ btw my answer is Dartmouth :D unless we're talking about ports as in sides of the ship ... I'm confusing myself now :'(

Well, who can resist an invitation like that :D AND :clap2: you have the right place ;D (I'm off to pack :lol:)
-
I looked for that name, but it's not in the Gazetteer of British Place Names! (http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/)
-
but it's not in the Gazetteer of British Place Names!
Oh yes it is ;D
-
Doesn't show in the Gazatteer for me :(.....thank heavens for Google Maps.. :thumbs:
ok, an easypeasy one to keep you going.
George's sharp knife
-
thank heavens for Google Maps.
and my eeeezy peeeezy clues :lol:
off to look for the sharp knife ;D
-
Could the George be a King and the sharp knife be a Stanley knife?
That would give us King's Stanley, Stroud, Gloucestershire.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayhay.....King's Stanley it is......woohoooo..ss44 gets it in one. :D
Over to you... :silly:
-
Wow that is the first one I've got right.
Now my first try!
Is this England's geological fault line?
-
:clap: :clap2: ss44 ......
I'm not sure if your clue is cryptic or factual, but based on the factual .... I know there's a famous fault line at Church Stretton,Shropshire ... so I'll try that for a start ;D
-
Ah! the clue is very cryptic. I hope not too cryptic.
Sorry Scottiesmum, incorrect.
-
OK .... another try .... if a fault line is fractured rock :shrug2: what about a gorge .... Cheddar Gorge ?
-
I've just had a feminine logic surge :D What about Brokenborough, in Wiltshire ? :-\
-
Your logic on Cheddar Gorge is along the right lines (no clue intended there). What else can you have with fractured rocks?
-
Well I suppose fractured rocks could be stones :-\ your clue has an historical ring to it somehow ... so what about Stonehenge :-\
-
I think I am leading you astray just a bit. Think of a smaller version of a gorge.
-
:hmm:
Are we at Malham Cove...... :-\
-
Sorry, not Malham Cove.
Think more along the lines of fault line.
-
Is there a place called Tectonic Plates.... :D
-
Not that I know of. If you have a landslip what is would you see?
-
It seems like I have been too cryptic, sorry, so here is a much more descriptive clue.
The North South Divide!
-
I've nipped in from the Rugby !!!!!
Watford Gap ?
-
:clap2: :thumbs: :clap:
I knew someone would get it from that clue. Congrats Scottiesmum. Over to you.
-
I see now gorge - gap !!!! ::) ....
Could this place be mistaken for my place of residence ;)
-
Are we in Motherwell - the mum connection is there, and it's in Scotland.
-
:hmm:
The clue may lead us to think that the name starts with Mon......... :-\
But....first gues is in Sussex...Vines Cross.... :)
-
Sorry Floydy nothing to do with mum ! I'm not one and I'm not sure where the Scottish connection fits in :)
TD by comparison definitely has the right idea :D but sorry, not the correct answer ;D
-
:cry2:
Can I cheat and try two in one go... :D..........( caution now, remember to can zap posts... >:D )
Wineham in Sussex or Winestead in Yorkshire
:-\
-
Posting two in one save energy TD, so your doing your bit for the planet :lol:
Winestead is the one ! :clap2: :thumbs:
-
Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:
ok
MP Anne on the high ground
-
Widecombe in the Moor, Devon ??
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Straight in with the answer.... :D
Back to you...... :swoon:
-
Wheeeeee ! ;D
If you question an entrance you'll find this place !
-
Are we near Edinburgh.....at Howgate... :hmm:
-
Ooooooooooooooooooooo so close TD ... not in the vicinity but the name !! you have the right entrance just the wrong question ;)
-
I'm not sure where the Scottish connection fits in :)
Scottiesmum is the line of thought I was pursuing (in vain as it seems), but as an addict of cryptic crosswords, I have a habit of thinking quite laterally.
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah that explains it Floydy, thanks for that .... it appears I don't know my own name :D
-
A rather wild guess here.
Cangate, Norfolk?
-
Sorry ss44 :no: a child would ask this question ;) (I'm not being rude, it's a clue :D )
-
Whygate, Northumberland? perhaps.
-
VOILA ! :clap2: :clap2:
-
I seem to be getting the hang of this.
Now something easier than my last one.
Reptile with a Sharp end.
-
:hmm:
Lizard Point :-\
-
Oh you're just too good. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Well done there. Your turn.
-
Wayhay....wooohoooo..... :dance:
ok
Birthplace of a famous duck...which caused a stampede in Canada.................................. >:D
-
There's a famous stampede event held every year in Calgary .... and there's a Calgary on the Isle of Skye .... but not sure about the duck :'( that's my first offering ;D
-
>>> Isle of Skye <<< :no:.............Isle of Mull ;)
>>> but not sure about the duck <<< :o...........it's a tufted one... ;)
>>> Calgary..... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yessirreee.....and back to you.
-
Ooooooops :D I missed the main elements but arrived at the right place :o it's that upside down map again :lol:
SO .......
Lots of games here !
-
:hmm:
Could this be Olympia, Middlesex ?
-
:no: sorry .... not as energetic ;)
-
:hmm:
Rugby :-\
-
:no: sorry TD .... more sedate ! and in some cases exclusive ;)
-
:(
:idea:...................Chessington :-\
-
Five Bridges, Herefordshire?
-
:no: exclusive as in cartel ;) ;) not one particular game ..... you have the 'ton' correct ;D you just need to put a bundle in front !!!
Oooops Eric, nearly missed that ... but no :no:
-
:hmm:
Aha.....Monopoly and similar games, manufactured by.....Waddington............and there is one of them thur places in Lincolnshire... :-\..........and one in Lancashire.. ;D
Waddington ?
-
Whey hey TD :thumbs: :thumbs: .... it was the one in Lancashire I was thinking of ....near the Trough of Bowland where we used to live........ over to you :)
-
:dance: :dance:
Yay... :D
A Simple Sunday one to keep you going while the roast sizzles away in the oven.
sounds like a fast bowl
-
A quick guess here.
Dishforth, North Yorkshire?
-
:no:.........sorry, ss44
Further north :)
-
OK maybe the wrong type of bowl.
Fleet as in fast
Wood another name for bowl.
Fleetwood?
-
:no:............but you are on the correct thought process... :thumbs:
>> Wood another name for bowl. << ;)
Further north, and it sounds like a fast bowl.... :)
-
I'm really making my brain hurt now. ???
Here goes. A wooden bowl makes a drumming sound as it rolls down the green.
I believe some bowls are made from oak.
The only place I can make that fit is Drumoak in Aberdeenshire. So that is my guess
Drumoak.
I can hear you laughing from here.
-
:no: sorry.
Too far north this time... ;D...........and a bitty too complex
stick with wood.........but make it a fast wood, at least it sounds like fast wood. ;)
>>I can hear you laughing from here<< certainly not.. :angel:
-
Fast........... :hmm:
fleet... :no: tried that.
speedy, rapid, quick........ :-\
-
Are we in Fleetwood, Lancashire ?
-
:no: sorry.............ss44 already tried that one :)
Border country.. ;)
-
Oooops sorry missed that ::) off up to the Borders ;D
-
Are we border county or border country?
-
Just north of the English/Scottish border... :)
-
I've been all over the place, Castle Douglas - Dalbeattie, Dumfries, Annan over to Gretna, and everywhere in between :D I'm exhausted and no wiser :cry2: ;D
-
But that is only half of the border..... ;)
Have you looked around Duns and Grantshouse... :-\
-
Phew .... more fuel :D back later !
-
Well !! Houndwood jumped out at me ! and a hound can pretty fast !! so, without any help whatsoever from yourself :lol: I'll try Houndwood :-\
-
:D
Indeed a hound can be fast...but not quick enough..... ;)
-
I think this is staring me in the face and I can't see the wood for the trees :lol: ..... I shall have a rest and come back refreshed ::) (and hope someone gets it in the meantime :D)
-
This has kept me awake all night. If the is an easy one don't ever give us a hard one. ;D
-
A swift resumé
quick wood................ ;)
-
:wall:
-
:lol:
You've really got us foxed on this one TD ....but I don't want you to tell us the answer .............. yet ;D is there another subtle clue ? :angel:
-
>:D
Find Grantshouse then find Abbey St. Bathans and then have a wee trundle from one to t'other... ;)
-
I'm trundling. ;D
-
I've not bumped into you yet ss .... :D
-
Quixwood?
-
:o Where's that ? :'(
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayhay.....Quixwood it is........
See, easypeasy....can't think what all the fuss was about... :D
Well done, ss44.....back to you... :scare:
Wee piccy just for scottiesmum.. :)
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
It was Camallison that got that one. I couldn't find it on four maps that I was using. :'(
@Scottiesmum. I must have been on a different map. :lol:
Well done camllison.
-
:o Where's that ? :'(
Turn right at the bottom of Hungladders high street. ;D
-
>>> It was Camallison that got that one. <<<
Ooooo....my apologies Camallison, I gave the credit to the wrong Kitizen.... :-[
TD starts again..... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: Woohooo...well done Camallison... :D
@ unkyUb.....Quixwood is even bigger than Hungladder... :lol:
Your turn, Camallison....and sorry.. :)
-
Well I'm glad I'm not Countess of Quixwood :lol: phew AND I'm glad that's over :lol: Well done Colin :clap2: :clap2:
PS ... Thanks for the map TD .... I think I'd better get one like that :D
-
I say that is a detailed map TD. I have just looked a t 1970 Edition of the road map I used when I was lorry driving, and Quixwood is not mentioned on there either,
-
That's from the AA Road Atlas of 2005.
-
Hmm.. Hungladder is in the Gazetteer, but Quixwood isn't. :oldman:
-
I eventually found Quixwood and it appears to be a Farm :'(
Hungladder is a fair bit larger!
-
Right, so now we have at least two members of high social status:
Scottiesmum: Countess of Hungladder
Tuftedduck: Laird of Quixwood
:lol:
-
:lol:
I hope you doffed your cap when you posted that Eric ! :D
-
:lol:
-
Now the appeals process has quietened down ...... it was in my 2002 AA Road Atlas on the map and in the gazetteer too.
Now for an easy one .......... angry female politico?
-
I'm getting a bit suspicious when someone says an easy one. I must not have grasped the idea yet.
Anyway my guess stems from angry, which could mean cross.
Not sure about the rest but I have come up with ..................Crosscanonby?, Cumberland
Colin No.2
-
:no: Only half correct.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Dorset......Harman's Cross :-\
-
Coo - that was quick! Easy wasn't it. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
:dance: :dance:
Wayhay.... :D
OK one to mull over...it's easy, honest
an intelligent pebble
-
I believe you TD when you say it's easy, not like that Colin fella. ;)I know what Colins are like.
Anyway maybe it is Brighstone, Hampshire?
Maybe it's not.
-
Ooooo, ss44 you are so very close...am tempted to give you that one.....but >:D
stone ;)
If you are bright, you **** :)
-
Well I have a choice of three, so, I'll try the middle one to go with the bright clue.
Knowstone, Devon?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum, s44, woohoo.... :D
Over to you.. :)
-
:thumbs: There was a bit of luck I chose the right one there,
A fairly easy one...............Too much hot condiment can give you this.
-
:hmm: ....are we in Berwickshire, near Eyemouth..
Burnmouth :-\
-
Sorry :no:
You are half right, and in the right end of the country.
-
Hartburn in Northumberland or Durham?
-
Er... :no: Much further north.
-
TD clutches at straws and makes wild guess... ???
(h)Otterburn........... :-\
-
Sorry yet again.
Think about the condiment,
-
Pepper....curry.....chili..... :-\
Are we near Edinburgh...........Currie.. :hmm:
-
Not those condiments, North of Edinburgh.
-
:idea:
North of Edinburgh and just east of Invergordon perhaps...
Saltburn.... :-\
-
Way hay TD does it again. :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Sorry if the hot misled a little.
Over to you Tuftedduck.
-
Wayhay...woohooo..... :dance:
ss44 is getting too good at this.....will have to consider a ban.... :D
ok
racing driver made by tatting, by the sound of it.
-
:cry2: I could be heading for a ban.
Is this Mansell Lacy, Herefordshire ?
-
Ooooooooooooooooooo Colin 2 I've been racking my brains to think of racing drivers .... will have to wait for confirmation from TD but ....I think you have it .... a spell in he NC would do you good :lol:
-
Sorry Your Ladyship. I was hoping you weren't lost in the borders.
-
:lol:
-
:cry2: I could be heading for a ban.
Is this Mansell Lacy, Herefordshire ?
Wayhay...he's done it again... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to ss44............( you are allowed to post from inside the NC...unkyUb does it all the time.. :D )
-
But I don't like dark corners. :-\
Here goes then ..................Stop make a sound.
-
Haltwhistle, Northumberland?
-
Wow! Roseway got it in one. :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Let's see what happens now, over to you Eric.
-
Way-hay :dance:
Here goes then...
Aged wobbly river crossing?
-
How about
Old Bridge of Tilt, Perthshire ?
-
A hole in one! :clap: :thumbs: :clap2: :silly:
Over to you...
-
Oh! the NC and ban is getting closer. ;D
OK. Let's try this one.................Rise again new shoots
-
Am I in the NC now?
Have I got everyone foxed? :'(
-
Clue anyone?
-
Clue anyone?
please
-
I admit to being baffled (not that it's difficult to put me in that state).
-
I admit to being baffled (not that it's difficult to put me in that state).
Even your penguin looks baffled
-
I have been looking at places with the prefix UP .... (rise again) but the new shoots are baffling me ! I'm probably on the wrong track anyway ;D
-
Ooh! I really have baffled you.
A very famous film & the shoots could be new growth.
-
Well I'm going to have a got at this one with my feminine logic ..... the film could be anything, but I'm wondering if it had religious content something to do with 'risen' :-\ and new growth would come from roots, bulbs, rhizomes !!! .... so I'm opting for Riseholme in Lincolnshire ..... I did warn it was my feminine logic :D
-
Your really are working hard at this one, unfortunately in the wrong direction.
Big clues here. Think of a 1965 plane crash film starring James Stewart and Richard Attenborough.
You probably are too young to remember that one ;), so it was remade in 2004. Get that and the shoots will follow.
-
:idea:
Phoenix Green ? ................ :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :congrats:
Spot on there TD.
-
Wayhay...woohooo..... :dance:
ok
sounds as if Gregory beat Julian to this
-
Ooooo well done TD I've never heard of the film ..... but not because I'm too young :lol
TD ... is there a cricketing connection ...... There was a Paul Julian and Dave Gregory (both cricketers) so ...... are we perhaps in Teams, nr. Gateshead :'(
-
>> is there a cricketing connection << :no:
>> Teams, nr. Gateshead << :no:
>:D
-
You can say >:D again :lol:
So it's the theological connection :-\
-
:-X >:D
-
:idea:
Gorrit (I think :-\ )
Callander, Stirling
-
>> Gorrit (I think <<
You have indeed..... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Callander it is..
Back to you..
-
Woo-hoo :)
Right then...
Sounds like an environmental bovian warlock
-
Seems like we are into games playing.
So far I have got warlock which is a male witch/sorcerer
A fantasy sorcerer leads me to Merlin
The environmental I'm not sure about
My first guess is...................Merlin's Bridge, Pembrokeshire
-
Sorry :no:
Your second line was making a start... ;)
-
:idea:
Are we near Swansea...at Oxwich Green....... :-\
-
>>> Are we near Swansea...at Oxwich Green
We are indeed! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
It's all yours...
-
Yay..woohooo... :dance:
ok
feed the boiler feebly
-
OK I'm awake now.
:idea:
Limpley Stoke, Wiltshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Woo....gottum in one..
Back to you, ss44... :)
-
I was up early this morning :thumbs:
..........................Someone has put a spell on this cut of pig.

Ooooooooooooo my brains in in gear again :D
OK ...this is easy !
A mixed up Miss.Aylward :)
-
Do we need an anagram of "Gladys"..... ???
-
;)
Oh OK then I'll give you another clue boyo ;) ;)
-
I suspect this place to even smaller than Hungladder... :scare:
Baffled...off to try more Welsh anagrams... :(
-
Actually it is quite small TD >:D so here 's another clue :angel: .... if you find Aberdare and 'expand' a little ... you should arrive
-
:idea:
Gadlys... :-\
-
You beat me to it. I think you are correct.
-
Voila !! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: it was easy wasn't it ;D over to you ... :)
-
>>> Actually it is quite small TD <<< :-X
That was somebody's garden shed.... :lol:
>>> it was easy wasn't it <<< :swoon:
ok, this a really easy one for a gentle Sunday afternoon. :)
gear,coach and a Scottish yearning
-
Oh yes this really is easy :no:
-
>:D
-
Well I'm totally bamboozled here. :shrug2:
-
Start with the gear... ;)
cog..... :no:
worm... :no:
? :-\
-
:lol: @ garden shed .....
gear, coach, Scottish yearning
I'm trying to think of a place that might resemble kit- bus- yen ;D I love these sort of clues :lol:
-
And I'm looking for wheel-teach-mangin :lol:
-
@ scottiesmum...... :no: wrong gear, interesting coach.. :)
@ ss44.... :lol:................... :no:
-
:idea:
Cambuslang, Lanarkshire ?

Yay....you've done it again..spot on.. :dance:
Back to you.. :silly:

Way Hay!
I need to go lie down in a quiet corner now. ;D
Back soon.

OK here we go.
On the bottom of a farm building ?
-
Barnsley?
-
Sorry............................. :no:
-
In the nicest possible way ..... ;D
Cowbit, Lincolnshire :-\
-
Now that is a good guess. :lol:
unfortunately the wrong one.
Time for a clue perhaps.
Floydoid was half right.
-
;D
having regard to the 'bottom' part of your clue ss ... would we be in Barnacle Warwickshire ? :)
-
Yet again, sorry but .................... :no:
-
Barnwell, Northants?
-
Not there yet I'm afraid.
-
Barnsole, Kent ?
-
Barnacarry, Notts? (Barn a'carry, that's Hungladder logic ;D )
-
Scottiesmum wins :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Your turn.
-
phew !!! ;D
This place sounds a little immature !
-
:idea:
Are we in the Sheffield area......Wuss :-\
>:D
-
I thought that Kate was referring to the people playing this game, for a moment. ;D
-
:lol: :lol:
but ....... :no:
-
It's getting personal in here :P
How about
Young Wood, Lincolnshire ?
-
:no: sorry ! >:D
-
Rawdon, near Leeds... :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ...
concentrate on immature ;)
-
Cheddar or maybe Stilton?
-
:lol: I hadn't thought about the cheese connection ....... :no:
the word immature !
-
Ure, Shetland ?
-
:no: sorry >:D
Has no-one got access to a Thesaurus ? ;)
-
:idea:
Are we in the land of those lovely red and white Hereford cows...
Callow..... :-\
-
Whey hey ! :clap2: :clap: :clap2: you dun it TD ! ;D see! eeeeeezy peeeeezy :angel:
-
Wooohooohooo..... :dance:

-
Could this be Tockwith, Yorkshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, it could indeed.... ;D
Back to you.
-
Way hay :dance:
Very easy one....................sounds like Hadrian stopped here.
-
:idea:
Wallsend :hmm:
-
Oh! too easy. :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Over to you TD.
-
Yay... :dance: :D
Ok...the easiest peasiest of them all...
does she own her own home
-
A bit of lateral thinking here.
If she doesn't own here home she could be called Lisa, which could make here Alisa, but you need a place so I have come up with
Alisary, Inverness-shire
-
I can see that you are using scottiesmum style logic, ss44.......but it usually doesn't work for her either.... :lol:
Alisary...... :no:......sorry
-
Aw shucks.
-
Lady House, Lancashire ?
-
:no:.............sorry............. >:D
-
I can see that you are using scottiesmum style logic, ss44.......but it usually doesn't work for her either.... :lol:
:lol:
when TD has his >:D head on ss, my logic flies out the window :D I thought of Lady House as well :'(
-
:lol:
-
A very wild guess.............................Maggieknockater ?
-
:no:.......sorry, and a very wild guess it was.. :D
Now, all of you....stop being so childish........... ;)
-
Kidderminster, Worcestershire ?
-
:no:..........sorry again, but have another think about kids and a house.. ;)
-
You mention 'she' in the original clue TD .... then your further clue re kids and house ....
a nurse could look after children in a house and is a she !! ;D SO, are we are at Nursted, Hants ? (Nurse - she- sted - stead - homestead !!) I do go on don't I :angel: :lol:
-
:D
:no:......sorry
>>You mention 'she' in the original clue TD .... then your further clue re kids and house <<
Which "she" might have a house or home of interest to the children... ;)
-
Wendy, Cambs?

:clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Yay, another victory for the Mighty Penguin.....

:clap2: :clap2: Eric .... what a >:D clue that was TD :clap2: ;D
-
Ooh, gosh ;D
Here goes then...
The turn of the century
-
:-\
turn....act
century....ton
Acton :hmm:
-
That looks like Scottiesmum & my logic :lol:
If you are right I'd like to know which Acton as there is quite a few in different Counties.
-
>>> Acton
Sorry :no: (and it doesn't matter how many there are ;D)
-
Maybe turn with a twist to it.
Twiston, Lancashire?
-
Or are we in County Durham....or even in Flintshire :-\
Your turn might be "your shot".........century..ton
Shotton :hmm:
-
Sorry to both :no:
What are the defining characteristics of the turn of a century? ;)
-
This is a long shot .... could we be in Newbie, Dumfries/Galloway :-\
-
Or .... just had another thought ;D Newbiggin, Cumbria (begin anew ! ) :-\
-
:idea:
Are we in Lancashire......Hundred End.............. :-\
-
>> Newbie :no:
>> Newbiggin :no:
>> Hundred End :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
It's all yours TD...
-
Woowooo.... :D
ok
but does he keep his yellow car here......
-
There's a place called Redcar in Yorkshire are we there ? :)
-
:no:........sorry, come south a bit..
-
I thought he might have two cars :D
-
Toy's Hill, Kent?
Noddy might keep his yellow car here.
-
>>> Noddy might keep his yellow car <<< ;)
but Toy's Hill...... :no:
Think phonetically about where he would not keep his car.. :)
-
Well my logic is on overdrive now .... but perhaps CHARLIE would say BRAVO when JULIETT lost five KILO and MIKE won an OSCAR in NOVEMBER for his part as ROMEO and then played GOLF at the local HOTEL in the middle of INDIA after he been for an X-RAY in QUEBEC where he drove his new SIERRA and chased a LIMA ridden by someone in UNIFORM drinking a glass of WHISKEY before he danced the FOXTROT with his cousins ALPHA and DELTA whose PAPA was called VICTOR who said he was was a YANKEE but really leader of the ZULU tribe whose voice had an ECHO.....
or am I being silly :lol: :lol:
-
:-X :-X :-X
:lol:

Whatever you have been drinking - can you ship some here please! ;)
-
Ravenscar? Carlin How?
-
Ravenscar? Carlin How?
:no: to both, sorry.
If knit sounds as nit...... :hmm:
-
Knodishall?
-
:thumbs: :dance: :clap2:
Yoohoo...you gottum...
Over to you..
-
Well done Camallison
-
oooooooooooooooo well done Colin .... I'd have never found that even with my upside down map ;D
-
Well, once I knew which road map TD uses, I now read the index first!
Here's a nice easy one for a lazy Saturday:
You might take your dog/cat here if they have a poorly tum.
-
Could this be.................. Pettywell, Norfolk ?
-
What about Runwell, Essex .... if they had a poorly tum they could have the 'runs' :-[ ;D
-
@SS44 :no:
@Scottiesmum :no: but I like your thinking.
-
OK, what about Running Waters, Durham ? :-\
-
:no: Take your time and don't run. Now what is it that can cause tummy problems for our cats/dogs that you can get rid of .... and then decide where you would take said cat/dog to accomplish this ...... a place, not a profession.
-
:idea:
Wormit, Fife ?
-
:no: .... but VERY close in to your wording. You wrongly describe what you would DO, but in which part of the house might you do it? Worm.......
-
Worminghall, Bucks? :-\
-
:clap2: :thumbs: :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
YUP - you got it - I said it was simple. It obviously wasn't logic though. :P
Over to you Colin
Colin

What about Droppingwell near Rotherham ? chocolate -drop (INg) hole - well :-\
-
Well you have well, but you need something else in it.
-
Chocolate is sold in bars...
Barwell, in Leicestershire ?
-
It might be nothing to do with chocolate. That should have give it away now.
-
Egg Well? Near Bradnop in Staffs.
-
Sorry :no:
-
We're a bit baffled, ss44...a wee hint might help things along.
As a guess...chocolate and other things may be white...Whitewell ?
-
Oh dear!
Well it may be currant one, there again it may be a cream one.
That should do it.
-
:idea:
Aha, are we in Norfolk...at Bunwell... :hmm:
-
:lol: I knew someone would get it from there. :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Back to you Tuftedduck

A town crier is loud so could this be Lowdham, Nottinghamsire?
-
Ewyas Harold in Herfordshire? :-\
-
Sorry ss :no:
Eric you're on the right track ... almost :D ... but you need to travel much further north !
(I love it that you have a name for the town crier :lol:)
-
:hmm:
Are we up in the frozen north...or at least in Shetland...?................Yell :-\
-
We are VERY NEAR Yell ...... TD .... go North then hop over the water and you will see a noise the town crier will become clear ...almost ;)

Catlodge, Inverness-shire ?

-
Are we at Wing, Bucks ? ( on the wing ! ) :-\
-
I like the logic but sorry :no:
-
:hmm:
Cranwell :-\
-
Er! no, sorry.
Looks like clue time.
Think what children are told about the birds & the bees.
-
I can't find a place called 'Flysting' :D but there is a Sexhow in N.Yorkshire .... are we there ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: You have it.
Over to you.
-
whey hey :D
another simples >:D
A passing watercourse, in reverse !
-
Stream in reverse is maerts, but I can't find one
Mearbeck, North Yorkshire could be the one maybe.
-
You are in the right area ss but one again that Thesaurus might be helpful ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we ooop unkyUb country................Burnby... :-\
-
I'm trying the Countess of Hungladder logic here,
A river going backwards is called a bore, so,
are we in ..........Boreham, Fife?
-
Sorry TD :no:
and also ss :no: sorry ....
try a different "watercourse" ... a not so pleasant one :o ;)
-
TD persists with the Yorkshire connection... :D
Sewerby.............. :hmm:
-
Whey hey ..... got it .... :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I should have perhaps put ..... mucky watter course :lol:
-
Yayhay..woohoo... :D
ok........and there will be no extra hints with this one.. >:D
sounds as if the lecture is a bit hazy
-
Talke Pits, Staffs? ("That talk was the pits!")
-
:no:.........sorry.
>>talk............interesting start.. :)
-
Could this be ...........Speke, Liverpool?
-
:no:........sorry.
Go north :)
-
I went North and came across................Dull, Perthshire.
Are we there?
-
:no:.........sorry.
Talk was the interesting start.....but it sounds like that. :)
-
Stumped on this one TD :shrug2:
-
:hmm:
We started at lecture is hazy .......we have described the lecture as talk.. :thumbs:
Sounds like talk.........is hazy (or something equivalent to that.)
Simples, especially if you could sit on the bonny banks of Loch Eishort to think it out.. :)
-
A guess at...................Tokavaig, Isle of Skye
I can see a vague reference there. :)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum.....back to you.. :dance:
-
Cor! that was tough. It's not in my Gazetteer.
Here we go especially for Colin No.1 nice and easy..................Can I have some compassion please?
-
Hope in Derbyshire and many other counties.
PS - to keep in touch with TD's thinking you have to use the same maps as him .... AA Big Road Atlas - Britain. Tokavaig is in the Gazetteer there.
-
Ah! I just use the online stuff and my old ordnance survey maps. I would never have guessed to vague resemblance to talk though.
If hope is your guess then sorry :no:
-
Are we very close to Durham......Pity Me.... :hmm:
-
Oh so easy ;D
:clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Woohooo... :D
ok
mystical priest
-
Are we talking about Father Brown of G.K. Chesterton fame ? therefore Chesterton in Staffs perhaps ... or is he a mythical priest :-\
-
Mystical could be fairy-like and priest may be to do with a cross.
So I guess Fairy Cross, Devon?
-
:no:....to both, I'm afraid.
Much more mystical.........and ancient.. :)
-
Druid in Denbighshire?
[Sue actually thought of it]
-
You've gottum.....Druid it is...
-
Well done Sue.
-
:clap: :clap: :clap:
OK - another easy one ........ A Gaelic Celtic water source?
[Edited]
-
:hmm:
Scotlandwell, Kinross-shire?
-
:no: almost there, but wrong country
-
:idea:
St. Andrew's Well, Dorset?
-
:no: wrong country again - also see my edit on the clue (makes it a little easier)
-
Llandrindod Wells, perhaps :-\
-
:no: right country, wrong well - think of a celt in this country - what is his nickname?
-
Taff's Well ? :-\
-
:clap: :clap2: :clap:
YUP! Easy wasn't it.
Over to you SM
-
I should have thought of that one! For many years I used to visit that part of the country on business, and whenever I saw a sign saying "Taffs Well" I couldn't help saying to myself that I was pleased to hear it, but I didn't realise that he had been poorly. ::)
-
:o c"est moi !! ;D :lol: @ Eric .....
OK a simples for Saturday !
This is how the eggs got here !
-
Chickenley, Yorkshire :hmm:
-
Laide in Ross-shire? :-\
-
oooooooooooooo a combination of both of you will get you there ;) .. but you must both go south :)
-
Chicklade, Wiltshire ?
-
et Voila ! ss ... :clap2: :clap2: your turn :)
-
WayHay!!
Another easy one.....................Large noisey sleeper
-
From the top of my head ..... isn't there a place called Great Snoring in the UK somewhere :-\ that's my 'guess' ...
-
Indeed there is and it's in Norfolk.
:clap2: :clap2: Well done and back to you.
-
Yipeee !!!
a very Sunday simples ;D
There used to be a lot of these in Lancashire but you'll need a crossing for this one !
-
Could this be.....................Three chimneys, Kent?
-
:no: you've not made the crossing ;)
-
Going with the chimney theme as there used to be a lot in Lancashire I will try Chimney-end, Oxfordshire. But I don't see where the crossing bit comes in.
-
Chimney Street in Suffolk? :-\
-
Are we in Surrey.............Millbridge :-\
-
:no: sorry to all ..... not there yet ..... but Mill is significant !
the crossing concerns water ..... ;) go over the water and o'il be surprised if you don't find this place ....
-
Could this be ................Millisle, Northern Ireland?
-
Not an Isle ;)
-
Cor! that Irish sea is cold. Well I found a Millbrook near Larne, so that's my next guess. Millbrook?
-
There's Fordton Mill in Devon (a Ford uses oil, and it's a water crossing.. :no: )
-
:'( You've made the crossing ....... (I've just checked my map again to make sure I'm not misleading you :angel: :angel: ) OK ..... go to the county of "our mother" ;) ;) think Lancashire/Yorkshire slang ......find the town of the same name ..then venture east .... you will then find what there used to be a lot of in Lancashire ......
-
Without giving it all away yet are we looking for ..........Milltown?
-
Hoooooooooooooooooray ..... Oui ..... in County Armagh ( ar ma !! :lol: ) :thumbs: back to you ss .... :)
-
:thumbs: That was a corker of a clue.
Here we go then ...........Is this rock lame?
-
Looks like clue time.
If you hurt your leg this will happen.
-
Got the limp bit, but can only find Limpenhoe, Limpley and Limpsfield. This isn't another Hungladder is it?
-
Think about the rock a bit more, it's not very big.
-
Lympstone
-
:clap: :clap2: :clap2: You got it.
Over to you Colin.
-
Phew! :scare: That wasn't easy! ;)
Now for a really easy one ...... take the old microsoft phone software out of the temple to soccer.
-
I might have the wrong end of the stick here ::) (it's the sun !! :D) but could we be in Bewley ..... ?? :'( is there such a place ..... :D ) I'm looking at Wembley and then taking out the old Microsoft 'phone thingy ... trouble is I don't know what that was :lol:
-
There's Welby in Lincs.. :-\
-
Well I think the old phone software could be a winmodem. As for the rest :shrug2: :lol:
I do like these easy ones. :'(
-
You should club together - ScottiesMum and SS44 - between you the answer is there.
-
is it Wolverhampton? :P
-
is it Wolverhampton? :P
:no: :P
-
Are we in deepest Gloucestershire................Ebley :-\
-
:clap: .... and TD comes in from left field ..... and scores! Just drove there earlier to pick up the car from service and thought ..... this could be the next clue.
Over to you TD.

So here goes...
This sounds like a strange medieval punishment.
-
I thought you were always on the ball Eric. ;D
Here goes with the first guess..........Irons Bottom, Surrey?
-
:hmm:
Odstock, in Wiltshire.. :-\
-
>>> Irons Bottom
I wish that were the answer, but unfortunately not :lol:
>>> Odstock
That's the one :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you TD...
-
Woohooo... :dance:

Mawla, Cornwall ?

Mucky heap.

Grimethorpe.... :-\

Sorry :no:
A little bit further north and we need a heap.
The thesaurus might come in handy.
-
Looks like clue time.
This mucky stuff is quite black really.
-
Coalhill, Essex?
-
Further north, sorry.
Hill is of interest ;)
-
There's Black Hill and (even) Blacker Hill, both in the West Riding... :-\
-
... or Coalpit Hill in Staffs
or Cinder Hill in various places :-\
-
Well you are on the right track with coal and hill, but there is something else that is produced from coal. There I've given it away now ;D
-
:hmm:
there are several Ashill..............could that be it ? :-\
-
Er :no:
Something else you get when you burn coal, and, diesel also produces it.
-
:idea:
Are we near Batley, ooop unkyUb territory ?..................Soothill.... :hmm:
-
Wayhay
You've got it TD. :thumbs:

Well the 'end' bit is correct ss .... but you need to pursue now ;) ;) ! and further south !
-
How about Seend in Wilts? :no:
-
I just Seend that as well. You were first.
-
:no: sorry Eric ..... look at my last comment ........ pursue ...... ;)
-
:hmm:...........TD tries some scottiesmum style logic.... :silly:

-
Oooooooooooooooooooooo so close but ....:no: ... sorry TD ..... BUT ..... look at the third line of your post ...... it's hidden in there ;)
-

-
Wayhay...woohooooo... :dance:
ok
a very cheap bowling green
-
Could we be in Worcestershire, in Corse Lawn?
-
:no: sorry, a bitty south of that..
-
Well if it's a cheap green then it might have poor grass on it.
It might even be Haygrass and that's in Somerset. :-\
-
:no: sorry, ss44.................a bitty nor-east from Zumerzet.
Ooops error...I told roseway to go south....should have been east....sorry... :-[
-
This is cheap Halfpenny Green, Staffs ::)
-
:no: sorry.............even cheaper than that.
It's like playing ducks and drakes , isn't it.
-
Well now I'm in Freeland, Oxfordshire. ;D
-
:no: sorry
Cheaper than a halfpenny, but dearer than nothing... ;)
-
Well there is a Farthing Green in Kent ?
-
Are we at Farthinghoe, Northants ? .... Francis Drake :-\

Whhooooooo ;D ........ be not afraid TD ....'tis only moi :lol:
>:D time ;D
If you find the feature , make a small change and you'll have this place .
-
:hmm:
Facial feature perhaps...such as chin..
small change...........inch
There is an Inch in Aberdeenshire....could that be it ? :-\
-
:no: TD ..... but facial feature is interesting ... ;) it's nearly characteristic of this place ;) ;)
-
If we take mouth as the facial feature and change it louth.
Are we in Louth, Lincolnshire ?
-
:no: ss ....... it's not exactly facial ;) more a visible feature !
-
:idea:
Widemouth Bay, Cornwall ?
-
:no:
oh dear I think you need another clue so you can tap into this !
-
Well we used to call a nose a snout, so if you change the n for a p we get spout.
Spouthead, Dunbartonshire ?
-
:no:
I thought I was helping but I think I've confused you :D
OK ..... the old thesaurus will help you ...... original clue -If you find the feature , make a small change and you'll have this place . then look at other clues ..... not exactly facial ! tap into it !! :crazy:
-
I'm easily confused these days. Looking at everything I'm going to try Facit, Lancashire ?
-
ALLELUIA :lol: ...... :clap2: :clap2: ss .... over to you :)
-
:clap: A good one that, thank you for all the clues.
I hope this will be a bit easier for you get the thesaurus ready.
Outlook for the future.
-
:hmm:
A nice outlook, or view, could be enjoyed in the future, meaning the summer, from a comfy. bench or seat.
Are we in Bury, Lancashire..............Summerseat ? :-\
-
Sorry, there goes that Scottiesmum logic again. ;D
-
Prospect in Cumberland?
-
:clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Your the winner Roseway.
Over to you.
-
Woo-hoo! :)
Right then, here's a nice easy one to let the brains cool down:
Anthony gets together with Andy
-
:idea:
Tonypandy...in the land of song, daffodils and leeks... :-\
-
That didn't take you long did it? :lol: :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you TD ...

The other type of spook like
Spyway, Dorset ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay.......Spyway it is...
Back to you.. ;D
-
I had my thinking head on this morning ;D
OK
blanc imperial measurement
-
:hmm:
Are we in Herefordshire....at White Stone.. :-\
-
Sorry............ :no:
Good thinking though.
-
Are we in Lanarkshire, in Whiteinch? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Inch perfect so to speak.
Your turn Roseway.
-
Ooh, gosh! ;D
Right then...
Sounds like it comes after tea
-
Well I have found a choice.
Old Scone or New Scone both in Perthshire.
-
Sorry :no:
You need to think about 'sounds like' ;)
-
A little clarification is needed if you would be so kind please.
Are we looking for a place name that sounds like the phrase "it comes after tea", or something that sounds like something that comes after tea?
-
It sounds like something which comes after something which sounds like tea. >:D
-
Well 'lea' sounds like tea and 'line' sounds like time for tea time.
So are we in Lea Line, Herefordshire? :-\
-
Sorry again :no:
You want something which sounds exactly like 'tea'. Then you want to decide what comes after it. ;)
-
Teeton, Northamptonshire?
-
Perhaps you need to think more alphabetically...
-
Clutching at straws now.
Tea Green, Hertfordshire?
-
I'm probably being a bit too obscure...
Thinking alphabetically, what sounds like 'tea', and what follows it, and what are these things?
-
I must be being a bit thick here. I notice everybody else is quiet.
Sea sounds like tea and it is first alphabetically. Now I can't find anything to put after sea the would sound like cakes, biscuits or anything like that. Am I on the right track, or does someone else who is brighter than me want to take a guess?
Still :) though.
-
It's probably a clue worthy of you-know-who :lol:
'T' sounds like 'tea' ... what follows it, and what word does that sound like?
There, I've practically given you the answer ::)
-
I'm trying that persons logic as well. U follow T and sounds like ewe.
Now the only place I can make fit is...................Tewkesbury ?
-
>>> U follow T and sounds like ewe. ;)
You're almost there now, and there's a cold beer waiting (that's not a clue, by the way :) )
What are U and T?
-
:idea:
Are we up in the land of bagpipes, kilts and caber-tossing ?
Letterewe, near Loch Maree........... :-\
-
That's the one :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
:doh: Now I get it.
-
Woohooo... :D

watery stone, if you have a cold
-
:help:
-
Watery stone......now, now I'm sure you can come across with an answer. ;)
-
Coldstream, Berwickshire?
-
:no: sorry.......but this might help you cross a cold stream ;)
-
Ah!Ah! If you have a cold you might also have a cough.
Burscough Bridge,Lancashire?
-
:no: sorry.
What stone would help you cross a shallow river or stream.....then how would it sound if you had a code id the node.. ;)
-
Are we at Stebbing in Essex ? (I've tried this with my nose pinched ::) :lol: )
-
You just beat me to it.
Welcome back

-
Well the force could be " giving it some welly "
so ... are we in Kidwelly, Wales :-\
-
@ ss44.......... :no:
@ scottiesmum................. :no:
Sorry...................... >:D
-
A ton is quite a force when dropped on your foot and a duckling is a youngster so.....
Ducklington, Oxfordshire?
-
:no: ................but a "dropping" force is an interesting thought ;)
-
Could we be in the East Riding, in Little Weighton? :-\
-
:no: sorry.
What force causes thing to drop :hmm:
-
Ahem... :lol:
-
That'll be the man flu Colin !! :lol:

That'll be gravity... :hmm:

There can't be a place called Girly or Gurly surely :'( ? :lol: ....... I'm lost :cry2:
-
Gale, Lancashire?
-
:no: to all. sorry.
:baby:
-
I've tried every synonym for 'youngster' which I can find. I had hoped that there might be a place called Sprogg, but it seems not to be the case. :)
I've tried to find an anagram of 'bairn' with a g added, but with no success...
:hmm:
-
I'm so pleased you've said that Eric I was worried I'm losing my feminine logic :lol: we'll all kick ourselves at the end of this I'm sure :wall: :D
-
:baby: = baby
It's lovely around Thirsk at this time of year... ;)

Baby with a 'g' = Bagby. Is that what we are looking for?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum.....Bagby it is...........see, simples.
Well done, ss44,....back to you..
-
Oooooooooooooo :thumbs: ss .... I was way off track .... :)
-
It's with thanks to TD's rather obvious clues, and the fact I used to a lot of lorry driving around that area.
Here we go...........
Easy peasy one now.
This place sounds like a bird of prey.
Removed a misleading description. Sorry.
-
Could we be in Leighton Buzzard ? :-\
-
We could be but we are not. Sorry.
-
Are we in Lincolnshire....Eagle... :-\
-
:no: Sorry
Don't forget the sounds like.
-
I think ?? I've heard of a place called Kestle in the UK .... but haven't a clue where it is ... but is does sound like Kestrel :'( so that's my guess ! :)
-
The place you are thinking of is in Cornwall, unfortunately it's not the place I'm thinking of.
-
:hmm:
Are we near Oakham, in Rutland............Egleton :-\
-
Er no, but you have the right bird of prey. ;)
-
:( ok, TD has another bash ;D
Are we near Bolton, at Eagley :hmm:
-
Oh! so close with the name.
You have put an extra letter on the wrong end. That should make it easy now.
-
There's an Eagle in Lincolnshire ..... but IF that's correct TD should take credit because he did all the work here :angel:
-
Sorry but if these things fly we would be in trouble. What I am looking for is not the name of a bird. If you take away its first letter you will finish up with the bird you are thinking of.
-
You can find it using Googlemaps.
-
Beagle, Holbeach St Marks, Holbeach, Spalding, Lincolnshire?
-
Yaaaaaaaa.
Well done Colin. Beagle it is.
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Smashing! It was puzzling me a long time!
A nice and easy one now:
Embarrassed American military official?
-
:hmm:
Redmarshall near Middlesbrough :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: Got it in one TD - simples!
-
Woohooo...wayhay... :dance: ;D
ok.......now, this really is simples...
Something happened on the way to the Forum
-
If I'm right this is a little too easy. My guess is Blandford Forum, Dorset. :-\
The something that happened was it burnt down.
-
Portsmouth (Pompey = Pompei)?
-
:no: to both, I'm afraid...sorry.
-
Is this connected to the musical comedy I wonder ....... which would make it Funny ! there's a place called Funzie on Shetland ...... so I shall give that a whirl :) :-\
-
:no: sorry
>:D
-
The farce first appeared on Broadway - are we in Broadway, Glos.?
-
:no:
We've all been to the forum... ;)
-
Well we've all been to the forum so that chat has ended are we at
..............Chatter End, Essex?
-
:no: sorry, ss44
Our favourite forum... :hmm:
-
Kitts End, Middlesex ? :-\
-
:no: ................but we have the correct type of forum... ;)
What do we all do, at some time, on the way to the forum... :-\
-
Are we at Login in Carmarthenshire :-\ log in !!
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yayhay....Login it is.
See, I told you it was simples..... :D
Back to you... :scare:
-
:doh:
-
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !! ;D ...... right >:D time methinks :lol:
A former partner of Mr. Brown ..... but ......... not the obvious Mr.Brown ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we perchance at Victoria, in Cornwall... :-\
-
:no: Sorry TD not that Mr. Brown either >:D
-
:(
:idea:
Paddington ? :hmm:
-
:no: .... sorry TD ..... something large acquired a taste for them !
-
Another clue ...... :angel:
not to be confused with those famous British aviators !
-
Allcock? The Irish bog acquired a taste for their plane.
-
Sorry Colin, not Alcock and Brown ....
mmmmmm! this is proving more difficult that I thought :D and I know the answer :lol:
Perhaps I should give you more clues for your store ;) If you look in one of the North West's major cities you might find the 'royal residence' which would give you the name of the place !!
alternatively an American actor/screenwriter might help ... he showed a lot of good will ;) ;)
-
Well I found a William Brown of fame who married Elizabeth Chitty.
There is a place called Chitty in Kent, so that is my contribution.
Chittty, Kent?
-
No sorry ss .... if you shop around my previous clue you may find something interesting in that department ;)
-
:shrug2:
I've been in just about every department store in every city in the northwest. I can't find anything to tie with any of your clues. I'm totally at a loss on this one. :lol:
-
:idea:
Has scottiesmum been even more crafty than usual...... :-\
:hmm:........Has she transported us to Aberdeenshire.......Affleck .......... :-\
-
I think you may be right Tuftedduck. I didn't look on every street corner around Manchester. There is a store called the Palace which was owne dby Affleck & Brown, who in turn were acquired by Debenhams. Yes it all fits now.
-
And also an actor/screenwriter...........Ben Affleck.
There was a hint in that the actor showed a lot of good will..........did Affleck not co-write something called "Good will hunting" ?
-
Whey hey TD .. you dunnit !! :clap2: :clap2: see .... easy peasy :lol:
-
Woowooo.........phew..... :D
ok....revenge will be mine... >:D
Insular nut
-
ooooops should have said the shop was originally called Affleck and Brown ;)
now off to do some map reading !!!
-
Oooops........made a mistake... :-[
This place is not insular....misread map.... :blush:
So clue is now.................nut
Sorry.. :)
-
Now that makes all the difference in the world :lol:
-
:D
-
Time to get the nut rolling. There is many types of nut, from the seed to fastener type.
So I'm going for the edible type.
Seed, kent ? :-\
-
:D I keep telling everyone it's better to hold the map upside down ;D
Could we be in Cobb in Devon ?
-
OR ..... Beech in Staffs ?
-
Sorry... :no:...........to all
>:D
-
Going for a different type of nut as in cranium.
Holyhead, Anglesey?
-
:no: sorry.....but maybe an empty cranium might give a hint.. :)
-
An empty head gives you a skull, so
Skullomie, Sutherland?
-
:no: sorry.
Different sort of nut.............put the nut shell or case after the clue, will give a better idea.. ;)
-
Are we in Almondbury, Yorkshire ?
-
:no: sorry again.
Not edible........think of the nut case (engines sometimes have this sort of case, too ;) )
-
I think I will classify as a nut after this :crazy:
Crank, Lancashire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum.
Back to you... :dance:
-
Now that is far removed from a nut. :lol:
OK.
Are dressings grown here?
-
Lintmill in Banffshire?
-
Sorry.......... :no:
-
Derbyshire.........Swadlincote :hmm:
-
:no:.............Sorry TD
-
On a culinary note ..... what about ..... Olive Green, Staffs ?
-
Ah! wrong sort of dressing...........sorry.
Previous guesses were the right sort.
-
Trust the countess to think of food :lol:
-
Well she was thinking of the olives to go with the wine. ;D
-
:D
Linthouse, in Glasgow... :-\
-
Sorry but ............. :no:
-
:(
:cry2:
TD tries again on the same theme......are we near Worcester...Linthurst... :-\
-
Much further north and west.
-
You are welcome to use the boat I left tied up for you. ;)
-
Could we be in the West Riding, in Brackenmoor? (bracken used to be used to make poultices) :-\ :no:
-
You were right with :no: Sorry
Much further north & west.
-
Lewis might have the answer.
-
:idea:
:doh: ..............Are we just outside Stornoway,.........at Plasterfield..... :hmm:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
We are indeed. I wonder which clue gave it away ::)
Over to you TD.
-
Wayhay..........had to rely on Google Maps for that one... :dance:
ok
penguin crossing
-
I used www.gazetteer.co.uk to get the details.
-
:idea: The Linux penguin is called Tux. A crossing could be a ford so..............Tuxford, Nottinghamshire :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
Woohooo.........straight in with the winner...Tuxford it is.. :D
Over to you.
-
Wow, what a surprise! Yaaaaaa!
Now then.
A very small, isolated woods.
-
:hmm:
Gloucestershire...............Far Oakridge, perhaps... :-\
-
Sorry not this time.
-
I think this may a bit too difficult. You will definitely need the google maps.
-
May I change this one please ? I really don't think anyone will find it.
-
I don't think even you can find it Colin :lol: :lol:
-
Even with the map upside down. :lol:
-
:D
Give us a wee hint, ss44........we might be lucky and have an idea.. :)
-
OK will do.
What is the smallest number of trees do you need for woods?
-
When you have decided then isolate them.
-
Well ...... if you had a copse .... then an isolated hill :'( are we at Copse Hill in the London Borough of Merton ? :-\
-
:no: ............................Sorry
If you have one tree then add another tree you have the number of trees. Now add the plural of tree. Then isolate what you have.
-
Two Trees Island, Essex :-\ ?
-
:thumbs: :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Well done. Phew I'm glad that ones over
Your turn Scottiesmum.
-
You almost spelled it out for me ss :) but I'm glad it's over too :D
OK ... try this one ....
A place full of tiny atoms perhaps.
-
A wild guess here.............Smallrice, Staffordshire ?
-
:( :no:
-
Think positive and negative atoms !!! Then think of something very small !!! (in fact think of something very small first ;D )
Michael Faraday might have helped you !!
-
TD has a wild stab in the dark.......
Tiny/very small...............mini
positive/negative/atom............ion
Are we in Cornwall................Minions :hmm:
-
You've hit the target TD :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap: over to you ....... :)
-
Woohooo.......... :dance:
ok.........an easy one cos it's Friday... :)
Assist the lady to overtake
-
:idea:
Amotherby, North Yorkshire?
-
I'm afraid that is a :no: , ss44, but not too far away ( in both senses :) )
-
Aha! Maybe it is.........................Motherby, Cumberland.
-
:no: ...........back to Yorkshire, and think of "assist" ;)
-
Helperby, Yorkshire ? :-\
-
One thing about scottiesmum.............you don't see her coming up from behind, and then....whooooosh straight in with the answer when your not looking... :lol:
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: ..........Helperby it is...
Ooops..whats coming next.. :silly:
-
Well done Scottiesmum, I don't mind helping her by ;)
-
:lol:
wheeeeeee !
This place is strange and definitely not on the up !
-
:hmm:
Could it be...........Odd Down, Somerset?
-
It could be .... and it IS !! :clap2: :thumbs: ss.....
-
HooWee!
Another easy one then.
Favourite value.
-
:idea:
Petworth, in Sussex.... :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :clap2: :clap:
Well done TD.
Over to you.
-
Yay...woohoo.. :D
ok..........simples, this one.
dusty valley
-
sand can be dusty ... valley can be a dale .... so .. Sandale, Cumbria perhaps :-\
-
The valley could be a river bed giving us Sandbed, West Yorkshire.
-
:no: sorry ..........to both, I'm afraid >:D
-
flour can be dusty ........ valley could b Calder so is it by any chance Mytholmroyd
-
:no: sorry............but flour is interesting ;)
-
erm..... shipton mill cotswold valley near Tetbury
-
A baker would use flour ! and a valley is deep ...... so is a well !!! are we in Bakewell, Derbyshire :-\
-
Well now a miller makes flour and plenty of dust and he might have a mill in a dale.
Are we in Miller's Dale, Derbyshire?
-
r2d2............. :no:
scottiesmum......... :no:
ss44.............. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: ...you gottum. Miller's Dale it is
(next hint was going to be "nickname" Dusty Miller...
Back to you..... ;D
-
WayHayHay !
Here we go...........Divide seat
-
I don't want to keep this all to myself ;)
-
:hmm:
share............fair shares... :-\
Fairseat, in Kent...
-
Ooh! getting in the right thinking TD, not quite there yet.
Share is very interesting ;)
-
We're not back at Hungladder, are we? (divided seat... hung parliament...) :no:
-
Oh no, not at Hungladder. Share is the correct word, we need something else instead of seat.
I thought this was going to be easy.
-
Sorry folks but according to The Gazetteer of British Place Names there is a Share ******, and a Shore ******
However there is only a Shore ****** on the maps, so I will take either of these.
-
Shore Bottom, Devon?
-
That's the one Roseway. Sorry for the mix up, but I was misled with the Gazetteer.
Well Done.
Have a go and confuse me now, ;D
-
Ooh :)
I'll be back tomorrow morning; it's a bit late for brain activity here now. :(
-
Right then, here goes (and it's a very easy one):
Difficult route
-
Strangeways?
-
:hmm:
Hardway, in Hampshire....or ditto in Somerset... :-\
-
>> Strangeways
Good idea, but sorry, no
>> Hardway
That's the one (or the two, I didn't notice that there was more than one) :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Oh well, back to the painting, and over to you... ;D
-
Wayhay...woohoooo... :D
OK, an easy one for a restful Sunday.
command an equine after a walk
-
Is there a place called Whoa ? :D
-
:lol:...............don't think so, but there should be...
Not a bad idea, though ;)
-
Maybe it could be Trotton, Sussex :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay........ss44 solves it again.........indeed it is Trotton.
Back to you... :scare:
-
:doh: well done ss .... :clap2:
-
Thank You. I was a bit lucky as I was looking for something else.
Hopefully this is quite easy.
Is it musical or comedy?
-
I guess we are struggling.
Well it may also be pets or antiques.
-
:hmm: could we be talking hobbies here ? There's Hoby in Leicestershire :-\
-
:no: ..........................Sorry, not thinking of hobbies,
It might be Broadway or Fashion.
-
There's Shaw near Oldham ... saw - show ? :-\
-
Very close, but not close enough. Sorry.
Show is very interesting ;)

Yay....Elgin it is..
Back to you... :silly:
-
Well done Scottiesmum, I had no idea what it was all about. I've never heard marbles called that before. Never finished learning you see. ;D
-
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee ! it was the quitsies that gave it away ! the rest was a guess ;D
OK ...
Is this an old Germanic valley ?
-
:hmm:
Hundalee, in the Scottish borders... :-\
-
sorry TD :no: >:D
-
St. Germans, Cornwall ?
-
:-\
German valley..............tal

Saxondale, Nottinghamshire :-\
-
Whey Hey !!!! OUI ! :clap: TD .....
-
Woohooo... :D ..... :dance:

Here we go then.
Place a pile of rods here.

:hmm:

Sizewell :-\

Sorry, but :no:
-
Put one rod on the end of another rod and so on you will finish up with ? (besides a very long rod :lol: )
-
:lol:
Has it got a fishing connection :-\
-
Me thinks you are fishing :lol:
Sorry, but no, nothing to do with fishing in any way.
-
You thinks correct :lol:
-
The thesaurus will come in handy.
-
Could we be in Fence in Lancashire ? :-\
-
Er! no, sorry. You seem to be going off track here.
Think of the long rod. What else would it be called?
-
I'm female ... a stick :lol:
Or ... are we at Poles in the Highlands ? :-\
-
:lol:
:hmm:........units of measurement...rods, poles and perches.....Polesworth, in Warwickshire... :-\
-
@Scottiesmum, I like that one. :lol:
Pole is good, now we need the prefix.
Nothing to do with measurement. Sorry TD.
-
:hmm:
You would find lots of rods and poles holding up the hops ready for harvesting....
Are we at Hop Pole, in Lincolnshire... :-\
-
:no: Sorry.
What do employees do with goods in a supermarket, well supposed to do?

Aha! Yes we are. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:

Wayhay...woohooo... :D

untrained seamen
-
Some reverse logic here, untrained could be ham and seamen are deckhands so I came up with
Deckham, Durham?
-
:no: sorry.
-
Could these be Navy drafted young people perhaps?
Warboys, Huntingdonshire
-
:no: sorry
Think of a collection of untrained seamen.. ;)
-
:idea:
Seaton Carew, Durham :-\
-
:no:.............but take the indefinite from the second word.....that's a good start.. ;)
-
The only crew I can come up with is Crewgreen, Montgomeryshire.
Could this be it?

Yesssireeee...........you gottum.
Over to you..

Whey Hey! :dance:

They produce tea as well. ;)
-
:hmm:
Beer and tea........Tetley, perhaps.
Sounds like.......................Tetney, in Lincolnshire ? :-\

:thumbs: :clap2: :clap2:
Well done tuftedduck.

-
Not being as 8) as the rest of mankind and not knowing anything about this Dr. Who since the Daleks were introduced I'm going for
Pestalozzi Children's Village, Sussex. :-\
-
:no:
Think of a recent (couple of years) episode/series (terminal) - what were they witnessing?
-
I haven't got a clue :lol:
I'll leave this one to someone else.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Berkshire...........Worlds End..............( not that I have ever watched DW, but it seems logical )... :-\

Sounds like Lisbon................Lisburn, in Ulster :-\
-
:no: sorry to both.
The clue is sounds like.
TD Even more like.
-
Gisburn in Lancashire perhaps ? :-\
-
Oh! dear :no:
We seem to be on the wrong treaty. :o
Should I say the Lisbon treaty was an amendment to mine.
-
Maastricht ?? ...... Catterick ??? :'(
-
Ah! we are now on the right track. Wrong place though. Sorry.

OK plenty of greens to go at yet. :lol:
Now Robin Hood was supposed to be some Hob Nob of Loxley, so
I'm guessing Loxley Green, Staffordshire ?
-
:no: sorry >:D
I should think he had very good co-ordination ;)
-
What about Forest Green?
There's one in Gloucestershire and one in Surrey.
That's co-ordinated :lol:
-
:no: ..... it's time for all you males to go to your 'feminine side' :lol: what would a woman with an outfit want to buy to finish it off ..... think feet and storage :D
-

hamlet with flair
-
Assuming Hamlet is not a play by William Shakespeare but a very small town, and flair could mean chic.
Are we at Upper Chicksgrove, Wiltshire? :-\
-
Right about the Shakespeare bit......... ;D
Chicksgrove.... :no:
Maybe add a bit of dash to the flair... :)
-
How about.................Shiney Row, Durham ?
-
:no: sorry
hamlet.............
flair and dash...............
:-\ ...........maybe Ms. Roget can assist... ;)
-
A change of thought here then.
Blaise Hamlet, Gloucestershire?

Sounds like a quiet place to have a snooze
-
Could we be at Sleepy Hill, Hants ?
-
Sorry :no:
But you're in the right half of the country ;D
-
I can't find Sleepy Hill,.
I can find Sleepers Hill, Hampshire. Could this be the one?
-
:hmm: Blissford :-\
-
Sorry to both :no:
Think about 'snooze'... ;)
-
:idea:
Knapwell, Cambridgeshire
-
Very close (half right in fact)...
-
Maybe Whitenap, Hampshire?
-
:no:
The first half of your previous answer was right.
-
The only quiet place I can find is Chapel Knapp, Wiltshire. :-\
-
:hmm:
Knapp, in Somerset :-\
-
Or Knapp, Cambridgeshire, or Wiltshire, or Hampshire ? ;D
-
Maybe this place isn't in your atlases / gazetteers, but it's in mine, so there! ;D
Two words, the first being 'Knap'...
-
Knap Corner?
-
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
It's all yours...

Bet you wish you knew the answer ;)
-
:hmm:
clever..................bright
hole....wish..................wishing well
Brightwell, in Suffolk :-\
-
You are well under way there. Not quite the right sort of clever.
-
I'm back, but heavily involved in something involving making lots of money (no, not printing it! :) ) Can I take a long break dear kitizens? Once we have all our ducks (TDs?) in a row, I will say more on one of the daily chats.
Colin
-
You'll still talk to us when you've made all that money then? ;)
-
ss44 - you can't shut me up! :D
The essence of it is to take municipal solid waste (black bag stuff), and produce energy/electricity - 10MW+ minimum for each plant. NO incinerators involved and we take any waste except nuclear. We can even take clinical waste. NO pollution either - just inert slags. I have taken on the job of chairman of a team with whom I have worked before and we already have 3 letters of intent. I stand to share in any profits (my share 5%). If/when it begins to earn me money, I will take all the regulars here to a slap up meal at Maisie's favourite hostelry - next to a camping ground so that our camping friends can roll out to their beds - promise!
-
I've made a note in my diary :)
-
ahem ! ;D
Is there a place called Smartwell ? (I'm down to guessing now :D )
-
Not that I know of Scottiesmum, it's not the place I'm thinking of, Sorry,
Your thesaurus might come in handy. ;)
-
There's Wiswell in Lancashire ..... Wis ... wise .. clever ?? (I've looked for aptitudewell .... adeptwell and savvywell .... but to no avail :lol: )
-
Perhaps you were wise to stop at Wiswell because that is the place.
:clap: :thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you.
-
:swoon: I didn't expect that !
OK .....
A radical lady ....... >:D
reason for edit ..... re-phrased the clue !
-
:hmm:
Redruth, in Cornwall :-\
-
whey hey ..... straight in TD :clap2: :clap2:
-
:dance: :D Yay !
ok
result of curing Virginia
-
If Virginia is a tobacco and you smoke it you get ash. You could cure it using salt.
The result could be Saltash, Cornwall? :-\
-
:no: sorry
>> Virginia is a tobacco << ;)
-
There's a Smoky Row in Bucks.... Tobacco -smoke ... curing as in fixing ? .... smoking ban .. which in places caused a row (as in argument) :-\ perhaps !! :'(
-
A lot of thinking there Scottiesmum.
My solution has a little more research in it. Still might be wrong though.
After curing tobacco is sorted into grades or "prizes" and then made into 'hogsgeads' for shipping.
So I am going for...................Higher Hogshead, Lancashire. :-\
-
:no: to both, sorry
Cure Virginia baccy leafs and you get................ >:D
-
That's snuff of that then :lol:
Do you mean Virginia Water, Surrey?
-
:no: sorry
"snuff of that" ......... :D
-
:lol: a...a....a....aa...aaatishoo ;D
-
I'm struggling here. However...............Piper's Ash, Cheshire?
-
:no: sorry.
Virginia leaf, after it is cured but before it is smoked, takes on another name....which you will find in Suffolk... :)
-
Well there is a Cavendish in Suffolk. Could this be the one?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yesssirreee, that's the one... ;D
Back to you..
-
Woo Wee! I was forgetting that tobacco could be cured in this country also.
OK.
Is this an actors thoroughfare ?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Somerset........Ham Street :-\
-
Too easy wasn't it? :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Well done.
Back to you.
-
Woohooo :D
ok........this is really simples..
pater familias of the dance
-
pater familias .... father of the family ...... father of the dance ?? ..... perhaps are we talking about someone who was regarded as being the big daddy of dancing (feminine logic in overdrive here :D )
SO ..... could we be at Kelly, in Devon ? (Gene Kelly) :-\
-
:no: sorry
>> father of the dance << ;) ...........now mix the formal and the informal :)
-
:shrug2:
-
A common father, friendly with Ma, precedes a formal dance ;)
-
There's never a placed called pas de deux :lol: :no: .......... but I've got your drift TD ... just need to find the destination now :D
-
TD throws in the towel and offers sincere apologies, cos he has led you up the path...... :-[
Had been thinking of Bayble in Lewis which, in TD's gaelic would have been pronounced Paball ( see, Pa Ball )..........but have just noticed that on the English maps it is spelt Pabail.............so you would have difficulty in finding it.
TD retires from the scene in disgrace...no doubt one of the stalwarts will pick up the reins and carry on.
-
We can all make a mistake TD. I say you should have another go.
-
Agreed, give us another one TD :)
-
I agree too .... no probs .... we'll wait for your next one TD :)
-
Please come back Tufteddeuck. :friends: We miss you.
-
Sorry to have taken so long to return... :-[
OK an easy ( and correct :blush: ) one for today.
arrive with regret
-
Could we be in Berkshire, in Pangbourne?
-
:no: sorry..............go further north >:D
-
Glad you haven't taken your bat and ball home TD. ;D
On to the problem. Maybe Morecambe, Lancashire?
-
:no: sorry............even further north..
-
I don't know about the regret bit but maybe we are at
Eilanreach, Inverness-shire ?
-
:no: sorry............too far north, this time.
Regret.... :hmm: ...........possibly the type that scottiesmum travels along ;)
-
I'm still struggling with this. I suppose that the type of regret that scottiesmum travels along is 'rue'...
-
Rue ;)
Prefix that with arrive, approach, near, appear, materialize...........with variant spelling. :-\
-
:idea:
Cumrew in Cumberland?
-
Oooooooooooohhh..........so close I must give you that.... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Was thinking of Cumrue near Lockerbie.......but Cumrew is good enough..
Back to you..
-
Well done Eric.
-
Way-hay :)
OK then:
What you get from a good oarsperson?
-
Well from a good oarsperson you should get more row, but, I can't find anywhere called Morerow,
however there is a Moor Row in Cumberland. Could that be the place?
-
Sorry :no:
-
Good oarsman..... :hmm: ..........Steve Redgrave won a bundle of Olympic medals for rowing...
Redgrave, in Suffolk... :-\
-
Sorry again :no:
Think of other words for 'row' ;)
-
That helps tremendously although I can't find anywhere named rumpus or brawl.
However I did find..................Tiers Cross, Pembrokeshire.
Maybe it's that sort of row?
-
Sorry. Maybe my last clue was confusing - think of other words for 'row' as in boating, not as in arguing. :)
-
I'm easily confused ::)
Maybe we are in Paddlesworth, Kent?
-
>>> Paddlesworth, Kent
That's the one! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs: :silly:
Over to you...
-
Hey! Hey!
Here we go.
a shop on a 'foxy bend'?
-
Seems like I've foxed you on this one ???
Forget about the shop and think about foxy bend. ;)
-
This bend is a bit tight, you could say it's 45o.
-
??? :shrug2:
-
Oh eck!
OK a bend at 45o is called a corner.
-
:idea:
David Rook ( I think ) wrote a novel called "The Belstone Fox"
Are we at Belstone Corner, in Devon ............. :hmm:
-
Not sure about the book, however you do not have the correct place. Sorry.
You have the corner now think what's a trait of a fox.? ;)
-
:idea: TD tries again :D
Are we near Ashford, in Kent..............Sly Corner :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You've got it TD. Easy wasn't it?
Over to you.
-
Wayhay......phew.....toughie.......woohooo :dance:
hokeydokey..........Sunday Simples for you.
bobby up high
-
>> Sly Corner
That's only a few miles from here, but I didn't think of it... :-[
-
Could we be in Coplandhill, Aberdeenshire?
-
:no: sorry..............toooo far north.
-
>> Sly Corner
That's only a few miles from here, but I didn't think of it... :-[
Either you should get out more or that could be why it's called Sly Corner :)
-
How about ............Copley Hill, Yorkshire?
-
:no: sorry .........still too far north.
-
Maybe...........................Copse Hill, Surrey? :-\
-
:no: sorry.
bobby... :hmm: perhaps no uniform, and may have a capital letter... ;)
-
There's a Bobby Bowden, so Bowden Hill, Wilts?
-
:no: sorry...........perhaps if unkyUb emerges from his gloom, he may think back to footy legends of the past.. ;)
-
Cox Hill, Cornwall?
-
:no: sorry again.
The brother was a bit of a legend, too ;)
-
Are we talking about ..........................Charlton On The Hill, Dorset?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
We are indeed...well done SS44 :D
Over to you..
-
Woo Hoo! :dance:
This really is easy, I think.
Is this where you deposit your summer fruit?
Corrected a slight spelling mistake.
-
>>Deposit ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we in Lancashire.........Strawberry Bank :-\
-
We are indeed, well done :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you TD.
-
Yay..woohoo ... :dance:
ok
careless valley
-
Careless might mean something fell over.
So maybe we are at Felldyke, Cumberland. :-\
-
:no: sorry............go north :)
-
I went North and came across Fallside, Lanarkshire. Could this be the place?
-
:no: sorry..............still further north.
Careless, in an inattentive sense perhaps ;)
-
:idea:
Laxdale, Ross-shire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You've dunnit again, ss44.....
Back to you.
-
Wow Again!.
Seems like we have a two horse race at the moment.
OK try this one. I hope it's not too difficult.
Sounds like 'trouble' on this thoroughfare.
-
' Alloeeeeeee !!! ;D If we were looking for a group I could say ' Dire Straits' :lol: but as we're looking for a place I'd better get my thinking cap on again :)
-
Bedlam Street, in Sussex perhaps?
-
:no: Sorry
We need something that sounds more like trouble.
Street is fine.
We should soon have an answer now that the Duchess Countess is back. ;D
-
Thesaurus might come in handy here, find an alternate word for trouble.
This place sounds like that word.
-
To make this a little easier swap the word trouble for the word difficulty.
Then you should have less difficulty finding the answer. :)
-
:idea:
Hassel Street in Kent?
-
Yaaaa! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Not much bother finding it then? ???
Well done Roseway
Over to you.
-
Way-hay :dance:
Right then, a very easy one to let the brains cool down...
Sounds like a poet in a boat, in the countryside.
-
Not so easy as I thought, perhaps... :)
Once again, the thesaurus will help at the start ;)
-
Cold we be at Bardsea, Cumbria .... Bard ... Poet .... sea - boat .... and it's very countrified in Cuimbria :'( :-\
-
You're well on the way at the start, but in completely the wrong part of the country... ;)
-
Maybe this should be a poet in the country in a boat as in
Bardfield Saling, Essex?
-
That's the one! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you SS44... :)
-
:doh: well done SS ... what a clever clue that was ! :)
-
Wow I'm surprised it was right. Thanks partly to you Scottiesmum.
This sounds like a pig stuck down a mine right at the base.
-
I thought this would have been sniffed out ages ago. :lol:
-
Perhaps you need another clue to get to the bottom of this one!
-
I've been pondering this one Colin :'( there should be a place called Sowtinend ( Sow Tin End) but I can't fine one ;D
-
Oh dear! I do seem to have you puzzled this time.
Think of another name for a pig in general. Not boar but another name, they have them on the road as well. You probably meet them on your travels.
Once you get the first part just follow your nose so to speak and you will find the rest. :sick:
-
:idea:
This has old TD a bitty puzzled......but he may have seen the light.
Are we in Hertfordshire.............Hogpits Bottom :-\
-
Hooray :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
TD has it.
Over to you.
-
Wyahay...woohoo :dance:
ok
cheap settlement
edit to correct spelling.. :-[
-
Ooooooooooooooo :clap2: TD ..... glad I don't live there :D
-
There is worse.
-
Farthing Green in Kent, perhaps? :-\
-
Farthing Green in Kent, perhaps? :-\
:no: sorry
-
Maybe it's Trash Green, Berkshire or maybe not. :-\
-
The "maybe not" is the correct option, I'm afraid.. :(
-
I'll go up market a bit then and try
Fivepenny on the Isle of Lewis. ;D
-
Are we in Lancashire ..... Pennylands ? :-\
-
:no: to both.
settlement ......... :hmm: .............well, it's not a village or city........but it's in the name.. ;)
-
Could we be in Deal, Kent?
-
Could we be in Lancashire, in Free Town?
-
:no: sorry to both.
The settlement comes first. ;)
-
Struggling here but I found a Payton, Somerset.
Maybe something like that. :-\
-
:no:
The settlement...not a village or a city.....comes first... ;)
-
A settlement could be selling something, shorten selling to sel.
Now we come to cheap which could mean common.
Now I can't find a Sel Common, but I can find a Selston Common in Nottinghamshire. Could this be it ?
-
:no: sorry.
Settlement............larger than a village but smaller than a city, and people have settled there...and a trundle around Lewes in Sussex may help.... ;)
-
Town Littleworth, Sussex sounds cheap to me. :'(
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum...again... :D
Back to you..
-
Way Hay. I was a bit slow with that one though.
A nice easy one now.
Sodium chloride ships?
-
:hmm:
Saltfleet, in Licolnshire, .................... :-\
-
Oooh too easy. TD has it again.
Well done, back to you. :'(
-
Wyahay.... :D
hokeydokey....
describes where ss44's ships sail, perhaps.
-
A wild guess here. It wouldn't be..................Saltburn by the Sea, Yorkshire, would it?
-
:no: ................but salt and sea sound interesting.. :)
-
:idea:
Seasalter, Kent :-\
-
:no: sorry......................but give a description of mixed sea and salt... ;)
-
Is there a Waterburn in Yorkshire ? I can't find one, but it sounds good ;D
-
:no: sorry
Mix sea and salt and get a description of a dripping solution... ;)
-
Could it be ..... Saline in Fife ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Woohoo, you gottum..
Over to you............ :scare:
-
Ooooooooooooo goody ;D >:D
Johns' pilot having a paddle ! ;)
-
:idea:
W.E.Johns wrote a series of childrens adventure story starring an adventurous pilot.....Biggles.....who, if he went paddling may have gone for a wade.
Are we at Biggleswade :-\
-
Oooooooooooooooooo your are so quick TD .... ;D :clap2: :clap2: :clap: :clap: back to you ;D
-
That flew straight over my head. :lol:
-
@ ss44...... :lol:
:dance: ..........yay..woohoo..wayhay... :D
ok
triple wood on a knitted garment
-
There is a Three Ashes in Hereford .... I was hoping I might find a place of the same name on Jersey or Guernsey or even in Cardigan Bay ! ;D However .... (feminine logic here ) there is a Hereford Sheep .. so perhaps that's the connection with knitted garment :D :-\
-
A lamb is known as a woolly jumper. ::)
-
Round here it's known as 'dinner' ;D
-
@ ss44 and roseway................ :D
@ scottiesmum.......... :no: ..........but these islands are interesting. ;)
-
:D @ Colin and Eric ... just think if you had two pet lambs you could call them Ragout and Minty >:D
There's a place called Trinity in Jersey ?? Three ... trinity ... Knitted garment ... jersey but .. wood ????
-
:D
:no:
>>Knitted garment ... jersey<< ;)
triple wood..............mais pas en anglais :)
-
Mais Oui ;D
There's an area in Jersey called Les Trois Chenes which is The Three Oaks ....... I can't find les trois bois, or les bois triple :'( Je suis paumée :D
-
Sommes-nous en prenant des leçons de français maintenant? :shrug2:
I hope I didn't say anything rude.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayyay...........must give that to scottiesmum as she did in fact mention the name.........even if she did not realise it... :D
It was a bit of a stinker as the place does not show on Google Maps nor in the gazetteer..........but it is on my trusty AA road atlas... half way between Millbrook and St. John on Jersey is.....Trois Bois .
Over to scottiesmum... :silly:
-
>> It was a bit of a stinker
:-X
I looked at every Jersey map I could find but didn't see that one. ;D
-
Si je suis dans le besoin d'une autre carte et / ou d'être bilingue alors je suis sorti de ce match. Désolé. :(
-
Ooooooooooooooooooooo ..... that's a surprise ;D ......
Colin you're not doing bad at the bi-langue :D so don't throw in the sponge :P don't forget I look at the map upside down ...so I was looking for sıoq sıoɹʇ :lol:
here we are then .... easing you into Monday gently :angel: :angel:
This place is a bit of a flop .....
-
:hmm:
An old fashioned method of completing the high jump was the Fosbury Flop.......and there is a Fosbury in Wiltshire....so.....
Are we at Fosbury :-\
-
Whey hey .... yes that's the one TD :clap: :clap: :thumbs: ..... back to you .... :)
-
Woohooooo... :D
ok, a gentle one .....simples in fact.
extra
-
Could we be in Shropshire, in More?
-
:clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Yes we could....you gottum, and back to you...
-
Ooh, gosh :)
Right then...
This sounds like a little niche which might have been used on May 6th.
-
:hmm:
Poling Corner, in Sussex .. :-\
-
Straight to the solution! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you TD...
-
Woohooo.... :dance:
hokeydokey
headless steer
-
Ullock, Cumbria ? ( a headless steer ....a bullock, without the B )
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
oooooooo, that was too easy.....must try harder.. :blush:
Back to you.
-
Oooooooooooooo moi encore ! ;D
A very stable place.
-
Do byddwch yn cael cynnig arall arni.
-
@ ss44.................... :swoon:
@ scottiesmum.............. :hmm: ........Studland, in Dorset ......... :-\
-
:no: No sorry .... to both .... I think :D
-
Horsecastle in Somerset? :-\
-
Ooooo Eric, you're half right and need to go ooooop North ! ;D
-
In English this time then.
Are we in Horsehouse, North Yorkshire?
-
You've got it ss ...... :clap2: :clap:
-
Oooh Weee! Brain still works then.
OK,
Scottiesmum should like this!
-
The Shoe in Wiltshire? ;D
-
:lol: Oh I do hope you've found the place ss !
-
I like the logic Roseway, but :no: not this time.
@ Scottiesmum: I can't answer that one without giving the whole thing away.
-
:D
What about Winewall in Lancashire ? hic !
-
We are on the right track. A different blend of alcohol. :drink:
-
There 's Beer in Devon .... is that it ? (that sounds a little like 'there's gold them there 'ills' :D )
-
Ooooh! Very close.
A bit more specialized.
-
Well ...... there's a Barley, Lancashire ( from memory) and Barley Wine could be described as a "blend" .... of name at least ! I know it's a strong ale, beer .... so that's my next guess ! :)
-
Oh dear! Beer is half correct, the other part is somewhat fictitious I think.
Where the Heck are YOU!(Scottiesmum)
-
:hmm:
Beer Hackett in Dorset ............... :-\
-
:no: Sorry.
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah ...... :hmm: There's a Frenchbeer, in Devon ..... :-\
-
Google says "Vous l'avez obtenu"
I say "You got it". Well done :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !! ;D You were correct in your assumption that "Scottiesmum should like this!"....... but not as much as shoes :lol:
A Cheshire gain ?
-
Catmore in Berkshire perhaps? :-\
-
:no: sorry Eric ...... >:D
-
I love cheese so.
Cheese Bay, Inverness-shire? ::)
-
>:D :no: Sorry ! (not really .... :lol: )
Look at the 'gain' first ..... then look for an important part of Cheshire .... et voilà !!
-
:idea:
Winchester :hmm: :-\
-
Whey hey ..... :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: over to you TD ;D
-
Yay..woohoo... :dance:
ok..simples
and elephant's sister, perhaps
-
:hmm:
Think of the elephant as Ellie Phant..... :)
-
Do you mean like a lassie. Phantassie, East Lothian ?
-
:no:
Think of Phant as a surname.........we need a christian name to replace Ellie.
Do you enjoy snooker, I see that the ex-worls champion John Parrot ( :) ) has retired..
-
Yes I watched when JP announced his retirement.
Could we be looking for Polyphant, Cornwall?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay....you win again... ;D
Back to you..
-
I was thinking of the other sister Polyfiller :D ..... :thumbs: Colin !
-
@Kate ! :lol:
I say these clues are getting cryptic.
Don't know how cryptic this is but,
This place is busted but still fresh.
-
Could this be Broken Green in Hertfordshire?
-
Did you see me type it in Roseway.
I thought that would last a little while.
Very good you certainly have it :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Ooh, way-hay ;D
An easy one for the start of the weekend:
Bovine maker of spells
-
Bovine = Oxen
A maker of spells = Wood
We get Oxenwood, Wilts. Maybe :-\
-
Sorry :no:
...but you're making progress
-
:hmm: Oxwich near Swansea :-\
-
You gorrit, TD :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
It's all yours...
-
Woohooo :D
ok...Saturday Softy
home of some small people
-
I have two places in mind for this one, but I will start with Diddywell, Devon. :-\
-
:no: sorry
-
How about the home of the tickling stick & Ken Dodd.
Knotty Ash, Liverpool?
-
:no: sorry
Go back down south........but easting of Devon.
-
:idea:
Ewell Minnis, Kent.
-
:no: .............go westing from there...and be Swift about it... ;)
-
:doh:
Lilliput in Dorset?
-
:doh: :wall: Of course.
-
:doh:
Lilliput in Dorset?
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it.......over to you...
-
:dance:
Right then:
An unusual colour for tar?
-
:hmm:
Pitch Green, in Bucks. :-\
-
Another hole in one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Back to you...
-
:graduate: ........... :D Yay..
ok
take the tea out of Christmas, by the sound of it.
-
Well ....... Assam is a tea .... so if you take out certain letters that 'sound like' assam .. these could be (with feminine logic :D) hsam ....which leaves Crist ..... in Derbyshire .....perhaps ?
-
:scare: :swoon:
aaaaarrgh....female logic... :silly:
:no:
>:D
-
:( it took me ages to work that out :lol: back to the drawing board ! ???
-
Come on now, don't play around so much !
-
:swoon: I've tried taking the Tea sounds out of Nativity & Pantomime but can't come up with anything useful.
-
>> Nativity << ;)
-
Hmm.. if you take the T out of nativity you get naivity, which could be be made into naivety... :hmm:
-
I think we need a wee singsong.....let's practice the scale......after me...
do, reh, me, fa, so, la, ti, do
-
This isn't another of those obscure hamlets, is it? ;D
I've found Nafferton in Yorkshire, which sort of sounds like 'navity'... :no:
-
Oooooohh... you have stumbled upon......by accident, but you have it and must be awarded the points...and points mean prizes..
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Navity, near Cromarty...........not too obscure... ::)
Over to you.
-
Ooooooo well done Eric ... I was nowhere near ....... mind you I have been sat in the garden and not map reading ;D
-
:doh: I was taking the wrong T out.
-
>>> not too obscure...
I'll take your word for it :lol:
and I'll be back in a bit (that's not the clue).
-
Right then:
Attack your friend?
-
... maybe not a friend exactly, but someone with whom you share mutual cooperation. ;)
-
... attack - hit, bang, slap...etc.
-
Well I've gone through kick, belt and all the verbals I could think of.
Came up with Puncheston, Pembrokeshire :-\
So if eston is a friend of some sort. :shrug2:
-
I suppose if you're a foody, then 'eston might be your friend :)
But no, sorry, although you're making progress. There's another word for 'attack', which is usually used with a preposition adverb when it's a physical attack, but on its own it can be a mental attack. ;)
-
I think 'Force' could be the alternative for attack, but I cannot find this friend/pal/workmate?
-
It begins with a silent K... ;)
-
:idea:
Are we up on the remote and beautiful north east coast, just beyond Helsmdale.....Knockally :-\
-
That's exactly where we are! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
It was like pulling teeth, but we got there in the end. :lol:
Over to you TD...
-
Oooooooooooooooo TD you are clever ...... a clever clue too .... I was completely baffled ??? ::)
-
Yay... :D ............phew, TD has no teeth left.. ;D
Hokeydokey
twins
-
Here we go again then. I'm tired out after the last one. ;D
Well I can't find anywhere named Doppleganger so I'll settle for
Doublebois, Cornwall :-\
-
:no: sorry.........much further north :)
-
Gemini, Cheshire ( my star sign) ;D
-
:no: north, keep going north... :)
-
Well .... now this is a shot in the dark mixed with feminine logic :lol: ............. with a little help from Roget !! hemitrope means twin and there's a place called Hermetray in the Western Isles, which is very north .... so that's my latest offering ::) :D
-
:scare: :swoon:
:no:
twins = ? ( in shooting parlance) ;)
-
Are we at Double Barrel, Darwen?
-
I was waiting fro the fainting icon ..... ;D and you didn't disappoint :lol:
Oooooooooooo that sounds a good one ss .....
-
I just thought I'd give it a blast.....
-
Are we at Double Barrel, Darwen?
:no: sorry..............less weapon and more prey... :)
-
In that case we may be looking for Brace, but I can't find one on my maps. Not up north anyway.
-
>>Brace << ;) .............but we need the family before that.. :)
-
Aha! :idea:
We must be in Kinbrace, in Sutherland.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum...
Over to you !
-
:doh:
-
Her we go then:
Half a pair of trousers?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Shropshire.............Pant :-\
-
Shorton---------Near Torquay,Devon
-
>> Shorton - good thinking but :no:
>> Pant - That's the one :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you TD...
-
Wayhay...woohooo :dance:
ok........easy evening clue...really simples.
Christopher's brother, perhaps.
-
A wild :idea:
Brotherlee, Durham ?
Edit: forgot the ?
-
Did I something wrong in my previous post ? :-\
-
Sorry, ss44........my fault...you did nothing wrong, but I missed your post....all my fault.. :-[
Your on the right track...we just need the brothers name, and Durham is very interesting.. :)
-
That's OK I'm used to being ignored. :D
Now then Bruce Lee might have had a brother by the name of Peter.
Peterlee, Durham. ::)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum, ss44...................back to you.... :D
-
Thank you TD. I should have got that first time. :sleep:
OK. Here's a very easy one.
All cleared.
-
A placed that has been all cleared could be free of everything ..... so hows about Freeland, Oxon ? :-\ (I'm not very hopeful ;D )
-
:hmm:
All cleared...........= job done.............done ? :idea:..........Dun, near Montrose... :-\
-
Ooooh some good guesses but none right so far. >:D
-
>>done<< is interesting ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we near Cambridge.............Over :-\
-
:no: Sorry
-
>>done<< is interesting ;)
Is there a place called Dusted ? ;D
-
:lol: Thank you for making me laugh. I don't know of a place named dusted.
If there is it is not what I'm thinking of.
-
If something is done it is said to have ?
-
A big fish in the sea might be helpful!
-
A big fish with teeth!
-
TD is baffled.... ??? .....but determined to fight on..... ::)
Big fish with teeth.............shark.. :-\ connected somehow to "done" or similar, and its all cleared..... :hmm:
Will be back.. :)
-
You are getting there. What sorts of shark are there?
-
You won't find this shark in the sea. That all about gives you the answer.
-
There's a loan shark, and there's a place called Loanend in Northumberland... :-\
-
Indeed there is and that's the place we are looking for. Well done. :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Over to you Roseway.
-
Phew! You had me completely baffled. ;D
Right then....
A place for donkeys to buy provisions?
-
There's a Jennyfield in Yorkshire .............. a female donkey is a Jenny and she'd probably shop in a field ;D :-\
-
Or Jenny may get her carrots from ...................Bray Shop, Cornwall.
-
>>> Jennyfield
Sorry :no:
>>> Bray Shop
You gorrit :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you SS44
-
Way Hay ;D
Now a real easy peasy for you.
Gift for a blue lady.
-
Well done Scottiesmum, giving your age away, remembering the song.
You have it spot on.
Over to you.
-
:-X
-
Ooooops .... I removed my reply for some reason :blush: its my age !! :lol:
It was Red Roses in Carmarthenshire .... honest !! ;D
-
>>> Ooooops .... I removed my reply for some reason !! <<<
:drunk:
;)
:D
-
:D it's the strong coffee TD ;D
Anyway ... I have a clue ........
Could result in jaw ache !
-
Early :congrats: perhaps.
:hmm: Could we be in a place called Talkin, Cumberland ?
-
:no: sorry !
-
OK I may have to chew on that one a bit more unless it's
Chew Moor, Lancashire?
-
:no: sorry ! >:D
-
Is this 'ere jaw ache caused by eating something very tough... :-\
Are we in Sussex, at Hardham... :hmm:
-
:no: northing to do with eating sorry ........
-
:idea:
Are we in Lancashire, in Mumps?
-
:no: sorry ... not an illness either >:D
-
You need to go into attack mode ;)
-
:idea:
Hitchin, Herts
-
Whey Hey !!! easy peasy wasn't it ;D :clap: :clap2: Colin .......
-
Oooh! Well it Herts when you hit your chin!
Back soon with another one.
-
Sorry, it took a bit of finding this one. It's easy though.
Humps crossing point?
-
:hmm:
Camelford, in Cornwall :-\
-
Yup! that's the one. Well done.
Over to you TD.
-
Woohoo..........yay... :D
right then, try this for size...
cricketer who wore a star
-
Is this ............Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire ?
'cause it has Leo as the star sign & Stanley as the cricketer Stanley Mathews. (Scottiesmum's logic here).
-
>>> . (Scottiesmum's logic here). <<< .............aahh, that's where you maade your error... :D
sorry... :no:
-
Is there a place called Gower ? David Gower - Cricketer ..... Star of David ? perhaps ! (now that's feminine logic) ;D
-
:swoon:
:no: sorry
-
:lol: shall I get you a powder :D
I'm off to check star names now :'( and cricketers :'( :'(
-
You need to search for the key hint............perhaps you could send out a posse... ;)
-
Another one to make you swoon :lol:
There are several places called Hutton ........ Len Hutton was a cricketer and there is a Sheriff Hutton cricket club near York .... so my guess is Hutton :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum, Sheriff Hutton it is.......
Oh dear, over to you.... :silly:
-
Another one I got without knowing it :D
back soon ...
Here we are ......
Almost a piano player !
-
I can't find anywhere named Liberace, he was nearly a pianist. :baby:
-
On the right lines Colin ;)
-
Russ Conway was a piano player (of sorts) so could we be in Caernarfonshire, in Conwy?
-
:hmm: ........are we in Welsh Wales....Conwy :-\
TD seems to recall a popular "light" pianist, by name Russ (?) Conway......who could rattle out the tunes despite being a finger missing on one hand..
ooops....been beaten to the punch ;D
-
I've been rattling my brains to think of his name. :wall:
-
No, sorry not him either :angel:
-
Try the other gender !
-
Maybe Mrs Mills, short of the Mrs.
Mills, Fife
-
:no: sorry ... but you must be nearly there :D .......... don't let this one snooker you ;)
-
There was Winifred Atwell, but I can't see a snooker connection...
-
Well her tune "Black and White Rag" became the signature tune for "Pot Black".
So if there is a place called Winifred then that must be it.
Winifred, Rotherham
Change that for ..........Adwell, Oxford :-\
-
:clap2: :thumbs: :clap2: That's the one , Adwell ! over to you Colin ......
-
Yah! Glad I changed my mind. Thank you Roseway.
It was quite clever that one.
OK.
Sounds as thought there's a bit of a tale behind this one.
-
Tale as in the spoken word .... could it be Talke in Staffordshire ?
-
Tale as spoken word not tail on a dog.
Your guess is wrong though, sorry.
It's a bit early for more clues.
-
:hmm:
Fairy Cross.............? .......... :-\
-
Sorry :no: ,but fairy is interesting ;)
-
What about Storiths, Yorkshire ........ it might be a tale told with a listhp :'( :-\
-
:lol: Very well thought out. Sorry yet again.
Story is also interesting. You are on the right track here, both of you.
-
There's a Grimsay in the Western Isles ............ Grim .... Grimms fairy tales .... say as in tell a story ...... :-\ any warmer ? ;D
-
As in tell a story. Don't forget the sounds like.
A little warmer perhaps. Geographical ice cold.
-
I bet you've spun a couple of these tales,
-
I could have knit a jumper by now.
-
I could have knit a jumper if I had some ?
-
ss I go in one direction following your clue and then your next clue throws me completely :lol:
I've found Wool in Dorset ....... is that a little nearer ? ;D
-
Sorry, but I might as well tell where it is if I spell it out more. There is no clues there.
Think of your wool, think of a tale, now find somewhere that sounds like the answer you get.
-
:doh:
YARN, Teeside ?? :fingers: ;D
-
That is soooh close I am going to
give youallow it.
It is actually Yarm with an 'M' :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you. No more knitting for me.
Edit: a rephrase before someone pulls me up on it. :lol:
-
Oooooops I misread it .... ;D
whey hey ..... here we are then ...
A principal pebble ?
-
:hmm:
Are we oop unkyUb territory...........Stone Head, Yorkshire... :-\
-
Correct pebble TD .... .... not Head though .... and further south :)
-
An Abbot could be deemed principal
That could make ......................................Abbotstone, Hampshire.
What we are looking for maybe?
-
:no: sorry ... TD was on the right lines with Head ..... but it's not Head .... does that make sense :'(
-
:swoon:
-
:idea:
Are we in Shropshire..............Mainstone :hmm:
-
:clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Whey hey TD .... you understand my feminine logic :D over to you ! :)
-
Wayhay...wooohooo...... :dance:
>>>you understand my feminine logic <<< ......... :scare:
Here's a Saturday Simples.
continue the hard work below the copse
-
:hmm:
Grafton Underwood, Northants ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay.............straight in with the winner...... :D
Back to you, ss44...
-
Now that what was my sort of logic. :lol:
Thank you TD.
Another weekend easy one,
Why not stop here for a cup of tea?
-
Did I hear a whistle?
-
I'm sure there's a kettle involved ;D so ...... Kettlewell, N. Yorkshire ? :-\
-
There is a kettle involved but not the one you have located, sorry. South of where you are.
-
South of where you are. Oy that's cheating !!! .... south of where I am is Spain >:D >:D :lol:
I know what you mean really ;D what about Kettle Corner, Kent ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You've got it.
Spain is part of Europe isn't it? :lol:
Over to you.
-
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee ....... more fun ! >:D
A royal wrinkle !
-
:hmm:
Kingsfold, in Sussex......... :-\
-
How do you do it TD ? ;D ............... :clap2: :clap: :thumbs: back to you :)
-
Yay.......... :graduate: ............. :D
hokeydokey.........more simples..
did she enter the garden
-
Maud, Aberdeenshire ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay......back to you... :swoon:
-
Oooooops a little late with this ................ but it will be worth the wait :D >:D
A place for children ?
-
I thought you'd gone off for a couple of days.
Anyway a guess at............................Kid's More, Norfolk?
-
Not set off yet ss ..... tomorrow !
:no: but you have the right idea !
-
Pestalozzi Children's Village, Sussex.
Seems a little too obvious, or is it?
-
Well it wasn't obvious to me, I've never heard of it :D ....... :no: sorry not there !
-
Maybe it's..........Playden, Sussex? :-\
-
No sorry ...... concentrate of children, tiny ones !!
-
Ah I've just realized I spelt my first guess all wrong so here is the correct one .......................Kidd's Moor, Norfolk.
Is that any good ?
-
:no: sorry Colin ... tiny .... ;)
-
Is it baby size, like..............................Babylon, Flintshire ?
-
:no: sorry ....... about the same size as a small whiskey ;)
-
Cor! we are getting small ???
How about ..................Totland, Hampshire ?
-
Colin, yes it is Totland, but I was looking at the Isle of White ...nevertheless you have the place name :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2: so over to you !
-
Way Hay. Well I'm not far from the Isle of Wight. :lol:
Back soon.
-
Here we go.
Sounds like you should leave your bottles here.
-
Clue anyone?
Maybe it should read : sounds like you should deposit your bottles here.
-
:hmm:
The Bank, Cheshire ........ :fingers: .. :-\
-
:no: Sorry.
Read the full clue. At least you are part way there.
-
You are looking for a place with a name that sounds like a bank where you deposit your bottles. Simples. ;D
-
Is nobody playing :(
-
I'm afraid I'm baffled... :-[
-
Maybe you don't have them where you live, sorry, I thought they were all over the country.
If you get rid of/deposit your bottles in a bank it is called a bottlebank around here. Now you need a place that sounds like bottlebank.
-
Glasshouses, North Yorkshire :hmm:
-
Sorry UncleUB.
The name of the place sounds like bottlebank.
-
There ought to be a place called Brocklebank, but there isn't (as far as I can tell).
-
If there were it wouldn't be what you are looking for. I am surprised this has you stumped.
The name of the place sounds even more like bottlebank. Change the first B for something else. There that should give you it.
-
Please accept apologies for my non-responses. ss44.....have been a bit under the weather for a few days and not giving much attention to the games.
Sorry......was not ignoring you.
Are we in Cumbria, at Tottlebank. :-\
-
No apologies necessary TD. Please accept mine and I hope you are feeling better.
You have got the correct place as I'm sure you would have if you had been feeling better.
:thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
When you feel like it. Over to you.
-
Yay... :dance: .........getting that one will sort out the old blood pressure... :D
ok.......simples to allow TD to get back into the swim... >:D
pushmi-pullyu
-
A polylinguistic doctor may help... :)
-
>>polylinguistic
Have you just made that word up? ???
-
This doctor speaks many languages... ;)
-
My doctor speaks several languages, but I don't expect you were referring to him. :) I suppose this would be a literary reference, would it?
-
>>> I suppose this would be a literary reference <<< ;)
The doctor's name makes him sound quite lazy... :)
-
Well if I have the answer wrong I will give part of it away with my thoughts about this Doctor. He may be named Dr. Dolittle.
Now the main clue you gave us is about character in the original story of Dr. Dolittle and was a cross between a Gazelle & Unicorn.
The only place I have found is........Gazeley, Suffolk. That's my guess.
-
Right in all respects.........except for the location. :no:
The pushmi-pullyu looked both ways at once.............so could not know if it was be hind or a head ........... ;)
-
:swoon:
The way you have written your last clue leads me to think the place name has deer in it.
Now looking both ways it could be deer or reed.
I have found a place called Reed Point in Lincolnshire. Point being a head also so that would be my next guess.
Reed Point, Lincolshire.
-
:no: sorry
behind..............ahead .............. ;)
-
:doh:
Were you telling me.?
Hindhead, Surrey.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay....you gottum.....Hindhead it is....
Over to you. ;D
-
Way Hey!
I was looking beyond the obvious, which ever way you look at it.
Here we go.
Is this where the make salty water?
-
Would we be in Brineton, Staffs?
-
Or........you could make things in a mill........so....... :hmm:
Seamill, on the Ayrshire coast....... :-\
-
TD Does it again. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Too easy that one.
Back to you. ???
-
Wayhay.....woohooo :dance:
ok........not so cryptic this time... :)
everything in tins
-
All Cannings in Wiltshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, that's the place.................( must try to be more cryptic next time.. :D )
Back to you..
-
Way-hay! :dance:
>>> must try to be more cryptic next time..
:'(
Right then....
Water's edge
-
Seems a little obvious, however.........................Riverbank, Cambridgeshire ?
-
Sorry, not quite so obvious as that :)
-
If you consult a thesaurus it should get you to the edge of a solution...
-
Could we have gone to Wales perhaps?
Pool Mouth, Denbighshire :-\
-
Sorry :no:
My previous message was a clue - think about the phrase "get you to the edge of a solution"... there's a better word than 'edge'.
-
There are plenty of options for edge. It's the water I'm stuck on.
Anyway I'll try,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Rain Shore, Lancashire?
-
Sorry again :)
Have another look at the last clue:
"get you to the edge of a solution" >>> "get you to the ***** of a solution"
Our recently absent lady participant would have had no trouble with this one...
-
:idea:
Aha...........edge could be brink, and water with a french connection would be eau
Are we in Norfolk, at Eau Brink near Kings Lynn :hmm:
-
>>> Eau Brink :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the one. Over to you TD...
-
I said I had a problem with my water. :'(
-
I said I had a problem with my water. :'(
:lol:
Wayhay....woohooo..... :dance:
Here's a Sunday Simples
boggy bit for ducks, perhaps.
-
I found two of these so I could get a :no: for this.
Drakemyre, Ayrshire or Aberdeenshire?
-
Nooooooo, you don't get a :no: ...........you get a :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, spot on with Drakemyre...
Back to you.
-
Yaaaa!
OK
This place sounds like it belongs to a clergyman.
-
Could we be in Deanland, Dorset ? :-\
-
Sorry we aren't.
Further North and more of the sounds like.
-
We should be thinking Parish or Chapel level here.
-
:hmm:
Sounds like vicar, perhaps.....
Are we near Barrow-in-Furness............Vickerstown :-\
-
We are indeed :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Yay...woowoo... :D
hokeydokey....
indian kitchen appliance, perhaps
-
Well ........ you know what's coming don't you :D the old FL again !!
A Tandoor is an oven used for cooking Tandoori .... Indian dish ..... and it's a clay oven ... all this is leading to Claypits in Glos. :-\ :'( but you know my FL :lol:
-
>>>Well ........ you know what's coming don't you the old FL again !! <<< .............. :scare: :swoon:
Claypits........ :no: sorry, a bit south-west of that..
-
:idea:
Could it be a Curry Mallet, Somerset?
-
:thumbs: :clap:
It could and it is......... :clap2:
Back to you...
-
:lol: I put that in as a joke.
Right then.
Come on sit down now.
-
If this is incorrect .. I'm trading my FL in :lol:
are we in Welcombe, Devon :-\
-
Start trading. ;D :no: sorry.
Oh well stand up then but not for long!
-
:hmm:
Are we at Rest-and-be-Thankful ............ :-\
-
Can't say I have ever seen that one. It's not the I have in mind. Sorry.
This place is not for tall people.
-
Could we be in Gloucestershire, in Shortstanding?
-
Yes we could and we are. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you Roseway.
-
Woo-hoo :)
Here goes then:
What a franglais person might make with cut grass? >:D
-
This is probably a bit of an evil clue. You might like to start with the uses of cut grass...
-
I've been puzzling on this one ...... the French connection leads me to Foin ... which is hay which is cut grass ...! there is a Foindle in the Highlands .... are we there perhaps ?
( foindling is possibly something the French would do as opposed to the English fondling :lol: :lol: :lol: ) is that an evil enough answer ? :D :angel:
-
It's evil enough, but not the right answer. Rather too subtle for my brain cell, to be honest. ;D
You were right about the cut grass, but you didn't need to translate it into French... ;)
-
....what about Haydon in Somerset ? ..... I suppose you could 'don' cut grass :'( (grass skirt comes to mind :D ) ... I'm not holding my breath on this one ;D
-
>>> I'm not holding my breath on this one
Definitely a good decision... ;D
You've got the 'hay' bit. Now you need to bring in the franglais, by which I mean a mangled mixture of French and English. ;)
-
:idea:
Allowenshay, Somerset :-\
-
Sorry, I've been a bit distracted recently.
>> Allowenshay :no:
If you build a haystack, you build it up in *****s ;)
-
I've been distracted as well.
Let's try ..............................Layer de la Haye, Essex.
-
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Way Hay Hay!
Ooh! that looks nasty.
-
Sorry I've been busy.
Another clue. I bet it hurts too.
-
Could we be in Sorely in Devon perhaps ?
-
We could but I'm afraid we aren't. Now think some more about what could look nasty and be sore.
You need to be a bit sharp to get this.
-
Scar Head in Cumbria ? :-\
-
That's what I feel like ;D Sorry no it's not that either.
Don't get too sharp else you might do this. ;)
-
A sharp knife can give you one of these.
-
Deepcut, Surrey ? :-\
-
Hooray. :clap2: :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you Scottiesmum.
-
Oooops ... a bit late ..... but .......
A perspiring pig ?
-
Could we be in the East Riding, at Hotham?
-
Oh you've brought home the bacon there Eric ! :D .... :clap: :clap2: :clap2: :clap:
-
Ooh gosh! It's a bacon butty for lunch then. ;D
Right then:
Angry deer
-
:hmm:
Roe Cross, Cheshire?
-
Very close... Mars, not Venus
-
:idea:
Buck's Cross, Devon. :-\
-
That's it! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you, C2
-
Thank you for the extra clue.....
Thinking time now.
Cleaning cloth has local area network. >:D
-
A cleaning cloth? Oops that's torn it.
-
Raglan, Monmouthshire ? Rag ... cloth ... + LAN .... :-\
-
The feminine logic has worked this time. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Wheeeeeee !
A posh version of a strange item in a gentleman's wardrobe ?? >:D
-
:'(
You might find a brick carrier helpful !
-
Thank you for the extra clue.
Could this be........................Hodsock, Nottinghamshire.
-
et VOILA ! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: the 'H' made an odd sock posh :D over to you Colin ! :)
-
It certainly was powsh, it also made it A hodd sock instead of AN odd sock. ;D
This sounds like building blocks and pigs.
-
A nice tasty part of a pig perhaps ;)
-
Could we be in Brixham, Devon?
-
We are indeed. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you Roseway.
-
Way-hay ;D
OK then:
Cosmetics in the forest?
-
Can't find anywhere called warpaint ;D
-
:)
You're looking for smells and soaps, rather than warpaint...
-
Are we in Avon, Hampshire which is in the New Forest District?
-
Mmmmmm ! Pears make a rather nice soap ( or used to !) could we be in Peartree, Herts. ? :-\ Pear ... Pears soap .... tree ... forest ?? my FL again ;D
-
Sorry to both :no:
... but you're on the right track - the name of a company does form part of the answer ;)
-
Port Sunlight comes to mind ..... with it soapy connections ;D
-
Sorry again :no: ;D
I really expected you to get this one easily, Kate. This company even supplies soap and stuff to the Queen...
-
Ermm is this Crabtree, Devon?
Cheers,
T
-
Sorry T :no:
-
Maybe we are at a place named Sandalwood, Lancashire :-\
-
I really expected you to get this one easily, Kate. This company even supplies soap and stuff to the Queen...
:lol: even the Countess of Hungladder isn't privy to the Queen's ablutions :lol:
Is there a place called Fortnum Wood ;D
-
:lol:
Dear me, I thought this one was too easy...
Think of a company which makes posh soaps and creams and things, which would appear near the end of an alphabetical list.
-
That leads me to.................................Yardley Wood, Worcestershire?
-
Sorry for the delay - lack of paying attention on my part :-[
>> Yardley Wood :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the one, over to you Colin...
-
All is forgiven Eric.
A nice easy one.
This will take some licking.
-
A clue :P
-
Tongue in the Highlands ? :-\
-
Yaaa well done :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Your turn.
-
R.I.P.
-
:lol: Ooooops :-[
Has this Yorkshire town found a new pitch ?
-
Come on then .... :D
-
Ooooh I thought this had died.
OK well Headingly has a new pitch, could this be it?
-
Sorry Colin no .... :no:
-
Not sporting pitch .... think musical !!
-
Then maybe it could be....................Crossflatts :-\
-
:no:
OK ..... I'll try and help :angel:
Look for a Yorkshire town that has moved ....... and put onto another timbre !
( it's easy when you know how (https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.villagephotos.com%2Fp%2F2005-5%2F1013475%2F651536.gif&hash=f3052829c2acb2195a0f7115c59fee9438321464))
-
:(
-
:o I thought this would have been right up your street TD ...that's not a clue, it's nowhere near you ;D
Ok to find the musical connection first ..... think of a voice and what the 'sound' of that voice is ..... or it could be someone who can't hold a musical note because he /she is ---- deaf .....
now find the Yorkshire town ..... it was famous once for wool !
Place the town on the 'musical' term ..... a glass of cider might be welcome !
-
Well Leeds in West Yorkshire was famous for wool and there is a Leeds in Kent and the district is Maidstone.
Is the cider scrumpy by any chance.
The logic says we are looking for Leeds, Kent. :-\
-
:no: Not Leeds I'm afraid Colin ........ but oh so close .... west a bit !
West a lot for the county though ...... you wouldn't be lowering the ---- mentioning scrumpy ;)
-
Ah!
Bradford-on-Tone, Somerset.
Loverly Scrumpy.......
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :thumbs:
see I said it was easy .... ;D over to you !
-
Now we know why you spent so long on the clue!
OK
Happy and like a banana.
-
Merrybent, Darlington ? :-\
-
Well that lasted along time didn't it?
Spot on Scottiesmum :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2:
What joyous clues are going to get this time I wonder. ???
Over to you.
-

here's an easy one :angel:
A central vigorous blow !

:hmm:
Middle Wallop :-\
-
Whey hey ..... :thumbs: :clap2: :thumbs: over to you TD ...

Not only could it be....but it is........well done, and back to you.. :)
-
Way Hay!
OK.
Break even with courage on the golf course.

:hmm:
Are we in Lancashire.........at Parbold :-\
-
TD. You are just too good. :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Yay..woowoo.... :graduate: .......... :D
okays...simples
which fish thoroughfare
-
A thoroughfare is where you pass by .... :'( are we in Salmonby, Lincs by any chance ? ( I'm only half thinking ...still watching the tennis ::) 66 - 66 :o )
-
There is a Monk fish.
Monk Street, Essex ?
-
:no: to both, I'm afraid..........but ss44 has the correct thoroughfare.. :)
-
It could be any old fish then.
So I'll try Fisherstreet, Sussex. :-\
-
:no: sorry.............a little east of that, just into roseway territory..............although not as far as Dover
-
On its own then.
Sole Street, Kent?
-
Ooooooooo...near so near.
The clue started with "which" so we need something before the fish, which you have identified :)
-
:doh:
Whatsole Street, Kent.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yersss....you gottum.....back to you.. :)
-
Thank you..............
An agricultural settlement.
-
:hmm:
Are we up in Moray........at Farmtown :-\
-
TD I was just going to post that :D great minds :lol:
-
Yes we are. :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Over to you. TD
I can only award winner status to one person. ;D
-
Yay..woohooo.......and no, I did not use feminne logic... :D
ok
a victorious Spanish wuss, perhaps
-
:lol: The early bird catches the worm ! off to find this Spanish wuss now ;D
-
What might a victorious Spaniard cry... :hmm:
-
Well I can't find anywhere called Olé.
The next best thing I can find is..........................Fron-oleu, Gwynedd, Wales. :no:
-
:no:
>> Olé. << ;)
We need a wuss as a prefix to that.. :)
-
So if we drop the acute we can put a wimp in front and finish up with
Wimpole, Hertfordshire. :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's it...Wimpole...
Back to you.. ;D
-
Ooooooooooo you are clever ss .... :clap2:
-
Steady now :lol:
Is this meadow for felines?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Sussex...........Catsfield :-\
-
Oh yes we are. :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Well done TD
Over to you.
-
Wathay... :D
ok.........Saturday Simples
unused vehicle registration
-
>>.........Saturday Simples :no:
:shrug2:
-
Is there a Newplate in the UK ? :-\ I can't find one but there be one hiding somewhere ;D
-
Hmmmm........ :hmm: ........Newplate :no:
Perhaps reference to DVLA may assist.. :)
-
Could this be for a vehicle kept off road as in
Sorn, Ayrshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, you gottum ss44.......Sorn it is.
Over to you. :)
-
Yaaaa! It's just a matter of reading the clue properly.
OK another easy one. Easy for you TD :)
What a Scot would call a mini. (Not mini skirt)
-
:hmm:
Are we in Robin Hood territory.............Nottinghamshire, Weecar :-\
-
I didn't mean that easy. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Woowooo..... :D
ok.........now this is a topographical feature ather than a town... :)
did Lucia sing of this area
-
Hmm .. this could be totally off the wall, but is this Ravenswood Castle?
Cheers,
T
-
:no: sorry............a bitty north of that :)
-
Where's Ravenswood Castle? Besides a bitty South of where we are looking for :doh:
-
The only one I know is somewhere near Plymouth.
Is TD the only opera buff Kitizen... :hmm:
-
I think I got it completely wrong ss44. I was thinking it was in reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor
Story is about two families and a place called Ravenswood Castle. Was a total stab in the dark =)
Edit: No TD I love a good bit of Opera too!
Cheers,
T
-
Hokeydokey, torqpoc.....you are very much on the right track, and in the correct local.
Remember I said that we are after a topographical feature... :)
-
Ermm. Is this then the Lammermoors, Gateway of Scotland?
Can't be that.. can it?
Cheers,
T
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay....you gottum......... Lammermuir (moor) Hills.
Over to you. :)
-
:thumbs:
I didn't expect to win, now I have to think of somewhere.. :shrug2:
Okie dokie.. this is a place, and here's your clue:
You could quite easily hurt your bonce here!
Enjoy!
Cheers,
T
-
Well I feel a bit of a dork. I was looking for a real place. I'm afraid Opera is not on my list of favourites.
Well done T.
A quick guess at your clue....................Low Bridge, Wiltshire?
-
Hi, ss44.......the Lammermuir Hills are real, lying south of Edinburgh.
The opera connection is the title of the Donizetti work "Lucia di Lammermoor"
-
Thank you for that TD. I feel better now. ::)
-
:)
:hmm: are we in Northumberland.....Low Lights :-\
-
Hello,
For TD and ss44, no guys, but you're close with the word analogy. I couldn't believe this name place existed, it's quite funny =)
Cheers,
T
-
Maybe........................Low Downs, Durham :-\
-
Hey ss44,
Good guess but sadly :no:
Cheers,
T
-
I enjoy opera too TD .... but I've been that busy multi tasking haven't even had time for a tra la la :D Bravo T !
Could we be in Headon, Notts .... ? Head on ! :-\
-
Hey Scottiesmum,
Thank you and great guess.. close but no Saint Emilion! Tee hee
Bit of a helper... weebles never did this!
Cheers,
T
-
Well the weebles never fell over, but there is no place named fell over, fall over that I can find.
The nearest to that I can find is................The Fall, West Yorkshire. Maybe that's it ?
-
Or maybe it's................Crackpot, Yorkshire ?
-
Hiya ss44,
You're so close.. sooo close. Actually the quote is as far as I remember: Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.
Big hint there.. =)
Good hunting!
Cheers,
T
-
are we in Tumble, Carmarthenshire ? :-\
-
Ah I slipped up on that one. ;D
-
Hello,
No Scottiesmum .. hehe. I didn't think this one would be so hard.
:-[
Cheers,
T
-
Everything is easy when you know the answer Mr. T. ;D
-
Mr.T... :lol:
Ok.. another clue:
This place is in the county where cream teas were made famous.
Cheers,
Mr.T. :P
-
Well I've been all over Devon & Cornwall having cream & clotted cream teas, which are beautiful.
But the only place I bang my head is here :wall:
-
Hehe ss44,
Well.. all the words (if you change the tense of one mind) i've given throughout so...you just need to put them together then.
You were really close, you just had a different weebles saying that the one I remember.
:thumbs:
Cheers,
T
-
I have no idea what a weeble is/was :'(
-
Just do a search for weeble and you will see what you have been missing out on. :lol:
-
:'( ask a silly question :D
-
Well I can't find one on a map but I'm guessing..........Fell Down. Because there is a few Downs in Devon.
-
ss44, you're so close it's ridiculous. You're missing one word in that name =)
;D
Cheers,
T
-
I came across a group named ..........One Fell Down. Could this be the name of a place?
-
:no:
Close.. soooo close!
-
They Fell Down? :shrug2:
-
2nd and 3rd words are right =) But the name is actually all the words together.. if that makes sense. (no spaces)
:fingers:
-
Maybe I've found it now....................Felldownhead, Devon.
-
:clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Yes!
Over to you sir!
-
:swoon: That was hard.
Scottiesmum all is forgiven :lol:
Here we go. Easy Peasy.
Sounds like a pig with noisy joints.
-
Oink! Oink! not that sort of sound. If you think of the joints you will easily get the Sounds Like.
-
Hockholler in Somerset perhaps?
-
Sorry Roseway. The joint is a bit more succulent. That should give it away.
-
Honey roasted is beautiful.
I like it with pineapple and new potatoes, Hmmm!
-
:hmm: TD tries feeble shot in the dark... :(
Are we in Cornwall...........Porkellis :-\
-
Well .. a pig with noisy joints might grunt .. so are we in Grantham :-\ ...grunt sounds like grant :'( nearly :D
-
Oh dear both :no: Sorry
You make larf Scottiesmum. I like the logic.
I am not looking for the sound that a pig makes.
I am looking for a joint or slice you can get from a pig.
-
The sound seems quite loud.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Nottinghamshire...............Lowdham ? :-\
-
Ooooooooooooo I bet that's the one TD ..... :thumbs:
-
Oooooh! TD That is the one :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Yay...woohooo... :dance:
Here's a Sunday Simples
Marvin's heavy step
-
Assuming we are talking about Marvin the paranoid android are we at Metal Bridge, Durham? :-\
-
I must have lead a very sheltered life :angel: .... I was thinking of Marvin Gaye :'( :lol:
-
>>> I was thinking of Marvin Gaye
Me too. Who's Marvin the paranoid android? :'(
-
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. A robot aboard the starship Heart of Gold. That's all I know.
-
A variety of interesting ideas, but.................. :no: ..........sorry.
-
There's Hank Marvin, guitarist, which leads me to Hankerton in Wiltshire, but that doesn't have a step in it... :no:
-
Could we be at Lee Clump in Bucks .... Lee Marvin ... clump - heavy footed !! :-\
-
It's not Marvin the Martian then? ::)
-
@ scottiesmum............... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's it............Lee Clump
Over to you................... :silly:
-
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
This is a Sunday simples + :D
A passing social network perhaps ! :)
-
Well done Scottiesmum, I shall not laff at your logic agen. We're in Yorkshire now. That's not a guess.
-
We're in Yorkshire now. That's not a guess.
I need a little more specifics Colin :lol:
-
This has gone from a Sunday Simples + to a Monday Mystery ;D
-
You have me baffled anyway. I know that's easily done :'(
-
Must be something to do with Bebo or Twitter... :D
-
Well, I don't think there's a place called Facebook... ;D
-
You are on the right lines TD .... but think 'visage' ;)
Ooooooo Eric, you just 'snooked' in there ;D and you are not that far away actually !! original clue :- A passing social network perhaps ! ;)
-
:idea:
Aha...Yorkshire......Faceby... :hmm:
If that's it......Roseway must do the honours as he guided us to the spot.. :)
-
Why hey ... Faceby it is !! Bravo TD and Eric ;D
-
I can't claim the prize TD, you got there first. I'll just have to try harder next time. :)
-
Yay...wohoo.. :dance:
TD takes half the credit... :blush:
Ok, try this for size.
untidy vehicle abandonment
-
:hmm:
Dumpford, Sussex ? :-\
-
Good idea, but....sorry :no:
A fair ways north of that. :)
-
untidy... :hmm:
unkempt...uncultured...unfinished... :)
-
This is testing my grey matter ;D well I'll try, but not hopeful at all ...
Shabbington, Bucks .... There's only shabby that fits the clue ::) I'll keep looking ! :D
-
:no: sorry
>> I'll keep looking <<...............ah, good thinking.. :D
uncut...unpolished :)
-
I have no clue whatsoever, and i'm scared to get it right even so.. in case I have to come up with a new one..
Haha.
-
untidy vehicle abandonment
:idea:
Roughpark, Aberdeenshire :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...Roughpark it is....
Back to you......OMG..feminine logic again.. :swoon:
-
Wheeeeeee !! fun time again >:D :D

-
:no: sorry .... Whey Aye ;)

-
You've scored the winning goal TD :D :thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
-
Wayhayhay.....wooo... :dance:
ok.....easy peasy is this one
a spinster's rage
-
Old maid's rage might be a better description.. :)
-
:help:
-
Spinsters and old maids....where may they be found ? :hmm:
-
Well I would expect to find spinsters and old maids in a convent aka nunnery.
Now I know about Nuneaton in Warickshire, could this be the place? It just seems a little obvious and I can link it with rage at all.
-
:no: sorry.
You might find books here, too :)
-
:idea:
Shelfanger, Norfolk :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it...you gotum Shelfanger it is...
Over to you... :scare:
-
Whey hey ..... I was trying to find somewhere to with with Library at first then the FL kicked in :D

Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire.
Just having a break from the DIY.

-
Here we go.
Just a little link.
I don't think there's a place called chipolata...is there? :lol:
-
:lol:
-
Nice one UncleUB :lol:
Roseway has got half right, wrong county though.
-
:hmm:
Two mountain peaks could be linked by a ridge....
Smallridge, in Devon :-\
-
Ooooh! the name is extremey close, but not close enough. You need to be quite a bit further North as well.
-
:idea:
Smallbridge in Lancashire?
-
Yaaa! well done Roseway. :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you.
-
Way-hay :dance:
A nice easy one for the evening:
Feeling awfully miserable?
-
Could you be feeling a bit on the Downside, in Surrey ?
-
Sorry, but you're in the right corner of the country. :)
-
Maybe we are............Terrible Down, Sussex :-\
-
>>> Terrible Down, Sussex
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Way Hay!
OK
This place is in perfect condition and has a ring to its looks.
-
ring = 'o'
-
It sucks. ;)
-
:-\ Hoover ;D
-
That's good thinking but sorry :no:
You would be the one to do the sucking :)
Edit: Added more help.
-
You'd think the made money here if it wasn't for the adornment ;)
-
:idea:
Aha.......could we be in the Scottish bordes...Minto :hmm:
-
I have the feeling this is something to do with polo but I can't make the connection ::) off to do more thinking !
-
You've got it TD. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
Don't think about it any longer Scottiesmum. :)
-
:clap2: :clap2: oooo well done TD ... I can rest my brain now !! :D
-
Wayhay.....woohooo.... :dance:
ok.......Saturday Simples
sounds like a bedside candle
-
Could this be Lightburn in Lanarkshire? :-\
-
:no: sorry
>:D
-
Could this be Knightwick, Worcestershire ?
-
... or Low Lights in Northumberland?
-
Could this be Knightwick, Worcestershire ?
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...Knightwick it is... ;D
Back to you... :)
-
Weeeee! :dance:
Another sounds like.
Easy this one.
This place sounds like infantile stomach pain.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Staffordshire..........Colwich. ........sounds like colic :-\
-
You are very close with the name & not too far with the location so I will have to say
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: You have it TD.
Over to you.
The actual place is called Colwick and is in Nottinghamshire. Near enough eh!
-
Yay woohooo.........you have been generous, ss44, but I'll take the points... :D
Hokeydokey, Sunday Simples
annoyed minor thoroughfare
-
Annoyed could mean cross, thoroughfare could be street. Minor I'm not sure about.
So a guess at Crossdale Street, Norfolk ?
-
A lane is a minor thoroughfare, so how about
Cross Lane (Cheshire) ?
-
A lane is a minor thoroughfare, so how about
Cross Lane (Cheshire) ?
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum...Cross Lane it is.
Over to you..
-
Ooh gosh ;D
Right then:
This joint appears to be past its use-by date.
-
If a joint is passed its use-by date then it may well be off, so I'm going for
Offham, Sussex :-\
-
Sorry, right half of the country though. ;D
-
Well there is a joint called scrag end and if it's out of date it might be called
Rotten End and there's one in Essex. :D Could that be it ?............................Rotten End, Essex?
-
Sorry :)
If it's really out of date it might turn an unpalatable colour... ;)
-
There's a Greenham, in Berkshire ....... could that be it ? .....
-
Sorry :no:
Right colour, wrong joint ;D
-
:hmm:
Greenside, near Sunderland.. :-\
-
:no:
Perhaps you should forget about the 'green' part for the moment, and think about substantial joints such as 'loin of pork' for example.
-
:idea:
Shoulder of Mutton Green, Kent ?
-
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Over to you...
-
:silly: Weeee!
Does this place appear in Winter and Disappear in Spring?
-
:hmm:
Are we at Snowshill, near Gloucester :-\
-
Sorry but :no: Right idea though and there are supposedly no hills here.
Edit: corrected typo & included further information. ::)
-
:-\
Are we in Herts., .........at Snow End. :hmm:
-
Sorry yet again. The snow bit is correct, however we need something else. Bernard lives in this county.
-
:hmm:
Hmmm....no hills and Bernard (the turkey man).........must be Norfolk.
Snow Street :-\
-
You've got it :thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you.

Wayhay... :dance:

From memory there is a Prescott, Cheshire (I think) .... SA felines Jaguars ... 2 jags ... John Prescott ..... so that's my FL :D
Oooops ! I've just found a Prescott in Gloucestershire :'( I'm almost certain it used to be in Cheshire :D

Over to you..... :swoon:
-
:D
wheeeeeeee ! it must have been the lunch ... brain food :D
OK ..... a simples ....
Useful symbol !
-
Maybe ......................Fingerpost, Worcestershire....................... is in the right direction? :-\
-
:no: sorry !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Warwickshire..........Arrow :-\
-
:no: sorry >:D
Useful ........... symbol ...... does that help :lol:
I think the adjective could be applied to Colin II ;) the symbol is important to some !
-
Could this be Handy Cross, in Somerset or Bucks (take your choice)?
-
et voila Eric ! I chose the Bucks one ;D
:clap: :clap2: :clap:
-
Woo-hoo :dance:
I'll be back...
I'm back :)
A small place with flair?
-
There's a Styal in Cheshire that's small ... styal style flair ? are we there ?
-
Sorry :no: >:D
-
Little Eaton, Derbyshire. ? That could be said to have flair.
-
:hmm:
flair...style..... :idea: ..elan
Are we in Welsh Wales....Elan Village :-\

That's it! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
OMG straight in with the winner.......welldone, ss44, Seer Green it is.
Back to you.. :)
-
Gee Whiz!
Right then.
You could make fun of a tramp here.
-
Maybe ridicule rather than make fun of.
-
Mockbeggar in Kent ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap:
Well worked out..
Over to you Scottiesmum.
Sorry it took so long. I had climbed the wooden hill for the night.
-
Whey hey ....
OK, try this simples .....
Young unmarried women !
-
:hmm:
Are we at March, in Cambridgeshire... :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ...

:hmm:
Are we close to TD country............Maidens :-\

Oui iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ! ;D :clap2: :clap2: over to you TD ! (I can't stay .... I'm fiend feeding :lol:)
-
Yay, woohooo, :dance:
( fiend feeding :D )
ok..simples
jagged, but not by needle
-
:hmm:
not by needle
-
Just got a bit of time to think and came up with
Rough Close, Staffs. :-\
-
:no: sorry
Jagged by something other than a needle ;)
-
I'm afraid I'm baffled here. I suppose that something other than a needle could be a pin, but the only possible candidate I can see is Pinged in Carmarthenshire... :no:
-
I'm a little confused by the word 'Jagged'. Do you mean jagged as in rough?
-
@ rosway..............Pinged :no: sorry
@ ss44..............jagged as in poked, prodded, pierced with something sharp.
I've been emphasising "By"..........thats a good place to start :)
-
Ah! now I understand. It seems to be a mistranslation from Scottish dialect. Around these parts the word would be jabbed.
I still haven't got the answer, but I will look some more now. :)
Edit my spelling mistake ::)
-
Bythorn, Huntingdonshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum, ss44, despite the Scottish accent... :D ....Bythorn it is.
Over to you.. :)
-
Yaaa! A bit prickly that one.
OK then.
Are they all dead on this byway?
-
:hmm:
Dead = bury
Byway....B road
Broadbury, in Devon :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Byway may confuse a little. I got fed up of putting thoroughfare, but they are both the same using the thesaurus.
-
Are we by any chance at Street End near Canterbury ? Street ..thoroughfare ..... dead ... end ..... :-\
-
Er :no: sorry. Street is good ;)
The word you are looking for is rather insensitive towards the dead.
-
Aha! :idea:
Stiff Street in Kent?
-
That's the one Roseway. :clap2: :clap2: :clap: I wonder how it gets its name?
Over to you.
-
Way-hay!
A quick and easy one then...
Footwear for use in a dirty car?
-
Are we at Booton, Norfolk ..... boots for dirty places ...boot ... car ?? My FL in overdrive .... should I shut up now :lol: :lol:
-
>>> should I shut up now
I wouldn't dream of suggesting such a thing! ;D
But sorry, no :no:
-
:idea:
Mudford Sock, Somerset ?
-
That's the one SS44! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Oooweeee!
Sounds like a nice pleasant footballer.
Edit: Incase someone gets the wrong idea.
-
Not only is he pleasant he has an OBE as well.
-
Well, David Beckham has an OBE ..... and I find him very pleasant ;D so if it's a 'sounds like ' are we in Peckham :-\ ?
-
Sorry :no: Good thinking though.
Better watch out or this guy might have your crisps.
-
Linacre in Lancashire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: You got it Roseway. :hmm: I wonder what gave you the idea. :)
Over to you.
-
I'm afraid that the crisps clue made it a bit too easy, so I'm guilty of pinching it from other more hard-working contributors. ;D
so...
Describes an unsuccessful competitor?
-
:hmm:
Lacking a win......Are we near Wick, at Winless :-\
-
That's exactly where we are. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you TD...

Yay..woohoo... :D
hokeydokey, simples for a rainy day.
fill the gardens with coal
-
To fill with coal you stoke and a garden could be orchard so
Stoke Orchard, Gloucestershire ? :-\
-
:no: sorry...............but "stoke".. ;)
Not orchard, a particular garden. :)
-
A garden? Kew is a garden so.........................Kewstoke, Somerset. ;D
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, that's the one....Kewstoke.
Back to you. :)
-
That's got me fired up. ::)
This place has been called your mother.
-
My mother was called Doris. Is that the answer? ;D
-
I nearly fell off my chair with that one Eric. :lol:
Not there is anything wrong with being called Doris.
You might be surprised but no.
-
There's a place called Madron in Cornwall, which sounds like Matron which could refer to a ' mother ' ....also Madre Spanish for mother :-\ so that's my latest bit of FL :D
-
:hmm:
Do we mean mother tongue.............Tongue :-\
-
Sorry Scottiesmum, all that hard work as well.
But TD has it. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: That's the place.
Over to you.
-
Yayhay...woohooo..... :dance:
okays......this is easypeasy
sounds as if Mr. Marvin keeps missing the bull
-
Is there a place called Outerlee somewhere in the UK ? If you miss the bull on a dart board I think it's called the 'outer' and Mr. Marvin ... may be Lee (Marvin) ? :-\
-
:no: sorry..........but you have the right idea. :)
>>may be Lee (Marvin)<< ;)
-
If you consistently miss the bull you would not be a good marksman
-
:doh:
Badshot Lea, Surrey. :)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, that's the place...
Back to you.. :)
-
Yaaa!
Is this where Sir Dickie might live?
-
Attleborough in Norfolk or Warwickshire?
-
Sorry Eric. :no:
-
:hmm:
Bird Street, in Suffolk :-\
-
You are on the right track TD, but sadly not the right place.
-
:hmm:
TD has a second crack at the whip.. ;D
Are we in Wiltshire...........Birdbush :-\
-
Er! :no:
You have quite a few to go at that way, but if you read the clue again it might narrow it down a bit. ;)
-
:hmm:
Staincross :-\
-
Sorry :no: , I may have misled you with my last post. Bird is right.
-
are we in Birdholme, Derbyshire ..... if so, TD should take the next turn because I used his intuition .... not my FL ;D
-
Well you got the right place, so you win. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
I'm sure TD will welcome a clue from you. :'(
-
:clap: ........big hand for scottiesmum..
Yup, another fiendish french clue would be welcome.... :scare: :swoon:
-
Ooooooooooo OK then ;D
Is this chess piece depressed ?
-
:hmm:
Kingslow, Shropshire ?
-
Bishopdown, Wiltshire? :-\
-
:hmm:
Kingsdown, in Wiltshire... :-\
-
Maybe it's Castleweary, Roxburghshire :)
-
Come on now, lets be formin' an orderly queue :D
-
Ooooooooooooo goodness I'm being bombarded .... :lol: actually it was Bishopdown, Wilts ..... my next clue was going to have an
essesactical easiassitcal :D theology hint ...
so ... over to you Eric ... :clap2: :clap2: ( I didn't realise there were so many possibilities ;D )
-
:lol:
Right then:
This sounds like ones own underwear ;D
-
:hmm:
:silly: I rather hesitate to suggest this as I am not sure of roseway's normal attire....but..ermm...but...could we be near 'uddersfield..at Netherthong.. :blush:
-
Ooooooooooooooo I hope so :lol: :lol:
-
Sorry to disappoint you folks. :lol:
The item of underwear is far more conventional - I'm sure you all have your own versions of it. ;D
-
Thank goodness that idea was wrong... :lol:
-
:lol:
There's a lovely sounding place called Bodicote in Oxfordshire ........ which sounds like it should be 'lingerie' ..... as in bodice .... :-\ could this be it ?
-
Oh dear, what have I started? :blush:
Sorry :no:
It's a much more straightforward item of clothing, and don't forget about the 'one's own' part ;)
-
:hmm:
"one's own"............does that mean on ones own, meaning the singular form of clothing normally expressed in the plural.....such as pants.
Are we in Shropshire...Pant :-\
-
You're on the way there with 'Pant', TD. By 'one's own' I'm referring to possession.
-
Are we in Pant y Wacco? Which translates from Welsh to Pant The Wacco in English ???
-
Very close, but think more about 'one's own' i.e. yours, hers, etc.
-
Pant-y-Phillip, Pembrokeshire? :)
-
You're so close that I think I should let you have it. I was actually thinking of Pantymwyn (the bit on the end could be read as 'mine').
Over to you SS :)
-
Well that is jolly kind of you. I was making the mistake of forgetting the 'sounds like'.
However.
Send this young male packing.
-
Oooooooo that's a relief ! good to know that Colin and Eric have their pants :lol: :lol: off to look for this young male now .... >:D :lol:
-
off to look for this young male now
I don't think there's a place called Toyboy ;D
-
I don't think so Eric, but you have part of the answer though. Isn't that lucky?
-
:idea:
Are we up in Angus...............Boysack :-\
-
We certainly are TD :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Yay..woohooo :D
pk
fanatical sets
-
Well ................ ::) ;D my FL has come into action here ....
fanatical could be - ardent ... and in your neck of the woods there is Ardentinny, Argyll and Bute .... now does " inny " have a meaning in the auld alliance language ;D meaning sets :-\
I know I'm probably making jolly hard work of a very easy clue, but .. hey ho ..... :angel: and I await your :swoon: :lol:
-
Wait no longer...................... :swoon:
:D
Errmm.... :no:
-
:lol:
-
These fanatical sets can be mystic at times, too. :)
-
There's an Occold in Suffolk ... which is almost occult ! could we be there ? :-\
-
:no: ..........sorry, but getting very close (phonetically). Occult is interesting.
These sets could be religious as well.. :)
-
Are we looking for Cults, Aberdeenshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yes we are......back to you.. ;D
-
Yipee!
OK.
The remnants of a cremated megadrile.
Edit: corrected a typo.
-
Worms Ash in Worcestershire? :-\
-
Got it in one Roseway. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Your turn.
-
Ooh ;D
OK then, a nice easy one for Sunday:
Steal a stream?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Lincolnshire..............Pinchbeck :-\
-
Gosh, another hole in one. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Back to you, TD...
-
Woowooo... :dance:
Sundat Simples for you..
used by a chef
-
A chef might use a Bain-Marie ... there is a Bain in Lincolnshire ...so that's my first attempt :-\ :)
-
:no: sorry
I realise now that a chef could use a hundred and one different articles..........so will offer a wee hint to narrow the field. :)
He would not carry this around.
-
Well he/she would not want to carry a stove around.
There is a Stove in Shetland. Would that be it?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...ss44 leads the field again.....Stove it is.
Back to you. :)
-
Way Hey! It must be Sunday.
Another easy one, a very easy one.
Is this a sheep mine?
-
:hmm:
Are we at Woolpit, in Suffolk... :-\
-
Straight in there TD. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Yay...woohooo... :dance:
ok...easy peasy.
the value of a toothed crossing
-
Ah! maybe it's
Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay............ss44 for the Cup...again.. :D
Over to you..
-
Way Hay Hay!
Now then.
The outlay is down the drain.
-
Well !!! I've found a connection to a place called Costislost, Cornwall ...... I'm not sure if the "place" is a village or a property where someone with a dry sense of humour lives :D
So .... I'll try Costislost, Cornwall ;D
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: Congratulaions Costislost it is.
I don't know the origins of the name but it sure is unusual.
Over to you.
-
Only the discoverer of Hungladder could have solved that one........ :lol:
-
:lol:
Whey hey ... the old FL on overdrive :D
I wonder how many nannies you'd get here ?
-
:hmm:
Goatfield, in Argyll :-\
-
:no: TD sorry ... but you're definitely on the right track ..... ( not geographically though) ......it needs measured thought ;)
-
:(
In that case, can I remove home to Wiltshire...........Goatacre... :hmm:
-
Oui ....eeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! you've got it ;D :clap2: :clap2:
-
Yay...woohoo... :D
ok
hit and whip
-
I'll have a guess at..............Lasham, Hampshire?
-
:no: sorry...........but you have the whip bit correct :)
-
The hit bit could sound a little sheepish.. ;)
-
Well that could make it Ramlash or Ram Lash, but I can't find either in the Gazetteer or Google Maps.
Can I borrow your AA gazetteer please?
-
I've found reference to Lamblash on Arran Island .......... :-\ so that's my offering ;D
Oooooooooo I've just found a Lamlash, N.Ayreshire ... is that the same place ??
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Another ten points to scottiesmum..............Lamlash it is....
Over to you... :silly:
-
Ooooooooooo goody ;D
This sounds like it might make you laugh :angel:
-
:hmm:
Giggleswick :-\
-
:no: sorry TD on the right track but not eggsactly right ;)
-
:hmm:
eggs=hens= hens cackle.
Laughter = haw haw haw
Are we at Cackleshaw :-\
-
:D love that TD but :no: sorry !
Concentrate on the yellow of the egg ! ;) This sounds like it might make you laugh ;)
-
:idea:
Are we on the western edges of Glasgow....................Yoker :-\
-
VOILA !! :clap2: :clap2: that's it eggsactly ;D
-
Yay..woohooo... :D
okays
in the manner of small farms
-
Well ......... and this is stab in the dark (so nothing new there :D )
............ small farms could be a holding .... and a small farm might have a few pigs ......... and ...there is a Holdingham in Lincolnshire ..... so how's that ?? :D
-
:swoon:
:no: ...........but ten out of ten for imagination.. :D
>:D
-
:lol:
-
Aaaah...smell that heather.. ;)
-
Maybe it's Croftlands, Lancashire, or maybe not :-\
-
:no: sorry
You have the correct farm.....all we need now is "in the manner of " ;)
-
Well a croft is usually occupied by a tenant and the nearest I can find is
Higher Croft, Lancashire?
-
:no: sorry.
We need to look around the Swansea area.. ;)
-
:idea:
Crofty, Glamorgan?
Rather crafty that one.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum...
Back to you. :)
-
Oooow weee!
OK.
Is this where children romp and hide?
-
:hmm:
Are we by any chance near Aberdeen.......at Little Dens :-\
-
Sorry :no: However you are on the right track.
-
What about Playden in Eat Sussex ? :-\
-
That's the one :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Eat Sussex
Don't you dare! :lol:
-
:lol: :lol: now that would be a lunchy ;D
I think I have a wonky digit on my left hand today ::)
-
Oooooooooo it's me .....
This place could almost be rearranged :angel:
-
:hmm:
If we rearrange "this place" ( and add a french flavour)..........we have almost created.......Chapel Stile, in Cumbria :-\
-
Oooooooooooo that's not the answer TD but you've almost found the answer by the method you've used ;)
-
:'( ....... another clue perhaps !
rearranging "this place" uses a method .............. name that method and you have almost found the place we're looking for !
-
:idea:
:hmm: TD spots a little of the FL here......no wonder we are confused.. :D
But could we be in Yorkshire, at Angram :-\
-
:D
Whey hey .... that's the one :clap2: :clap:
-
Yay...wayhay... :D
ok
stone marker with it's own oil lamp
-
The stone marker might be on top of a mountain... ;)
-
I have been racking my brains for the stone marker which is Cairn.
The oil lamp maybe one of those things known as a lava lamp.
Now I think the place might be ................. Bluecairn, Roxburghshire. :-\
-
:no: sorry
lava lamp :no: we want an old fashioned name.. :)
cairn.. ;)
-
Is there a place called Cairn Lantern somewhere up in them there hills :-\ that's just a thought ;D
-
:no: sorry, or at least, if there is, it's not the place you seek.
Old name for an oil lamp :hmm:
-
I've not found the place, but I've learned a lot about oil lamps :D except the old name for them .......... I'm too young :lol:
-
:D
A poem by James Joyce may assist.. :)
-
:hmm:
There's a Joyce poem 'Tilly' and an old type of oil lamp was a tilley lamp, but there doesn't seem to be a place with a name which fits...
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay..you have it in all but name....full marks to the Mighty Penguin.....was looking for Tillycairn in Aberdeenshire.
Over to you.. :silly:
-
:thumbs:
Ooooooooo well done Eric ... tilly of course ::) (not just short for Matilda :D )
-
What a tilly name. I knew about tilly but I couldn't find anywhere.
Well done Roseway.
-
I'm not sure I deserve the prize, but thank you anyway, and here's a nice easy one:
You might find this at Loch Lomond
-
:hmm:
Have we been craftily misdirected....we're not really at Loch Lomond, are we...? Are we not in Fife.......at Bonnybank :-\
-
What about ............. Great Ness, Shropshire :)
-
TD has got it in one again. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
"The bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond"
-
Woohooo... :dance:
ok
drunkard buried here
-
Well there's a place called Booze in Yorkshire and a Drunkard could be called booze.
So I will guess Booze, Yorkshire?
-
:no: sorry
-
A drunkard could be a sot, so how about
Sots Hole in Lincolnshire? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it .............Sots Hole
Back to you.
-
Ooh-hoo ;D
Next one then:
You'll love going through here...
-
:hmm:
Are we in Worcestershire .........Bliss Gate :-\
-
Oh my word! Straight there again. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Back to you...
-
Yay..woohoo :D
Here's a Sunday Simples >:D
twelve points in your home printer
-
:hmm: ..............thinking of typographic units may help...
-
That may be ............... Pica, Cumberland :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it, ss44, you gottum...
Over to you ;D
-
Oooo Weee!
Another easy peasy.
Did a Cardinal have a wee here?
-
:hmm:
You may have a wee in a loo...........and a cardinal point may be E for east...
Are we in Cornwall............Looe :-\
-
Sorry TD :no:, you're thinking is there though, just.
Edit: Just putting the grammar and wording correct. :(
-
Well ....... wait for it :lol:
Cardinal could be Red .... and a urinal would be used for a pi-pi ( French for wee otherwise wee ( Oui ) means yes :lol: >:D )
and there's a place called Rednal in Shropshire ....
now there's food for thought :D
-
Thank you for brightening my day, but sorry that is not the place even after all that work.
TD had the right type of cardinal.
-
;D
There's a North Looe in Surrey .... so I'll opt for that loo ;D
-
Sorry :no: It's nothing to do with a receptacle.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Kent..........Peene :-\
-
Yet again it's :no: Sorry
You are getting a little closer, it's about what (liquid) would go in to a loo.
-
There's a place called Wyre which is near another place called Cardinal, so could we be at
Wyre Piddle in Worcs?
-
You nearly have it there Eric, but not quite near enough. Sorry. :no:
-
:idea:
North Piddle.........Worcestershire... :-\
-
You were pointed in the right direction this time. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: Well done.
Over to you.
-
I'm temped to say direction is everything when in a Piddle situation :-[ :lol:
:clap2: :clap2: TD
-
:D
Woohooo.... :dance:
ok
green rock......if an e is added
-
Well ......... ;D
Malachite is a green mineral .... and there's a place called Malaclete in the Western Isles .... I know it doesn't fit i with your 'e' clue .... but I just want to discount it :D
-
:no: ............discounted it is... :D
-
Emerald, North Ulst :-\
-
:no: sorry
We must think about where the extra e goes. :)
-
You appear puzzled by this novel form of clue... :-\
-
I now have a feeling this is something to do with Graham Green's Brighton Rock .... but I'm trying to work out what :D
-
@ scottiesmum ;)
ps........Graham Greene .....................aha, the extra e
-
Er... Brighton? :lol:
-
:lol:
:clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum....( now, there's a surprise... :D )
Back to you.
-
I really can't claim that one. Kate would never forgive me for pinching it. :'(
-
:lol: :lol:
Do you know I would never have said Brighton .... ::) ::) yours Eric ... fair and square ;D
-
OK then, here goes:
The base of a lighthouse?
-
Now a lighthouse could also be called a beacon and the base of one would be the bottom.
Beacon's Bottom, Oxfordshire ?
-
Oh my word! Straight there in one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Over to you Colin2
-
Yah! I must have been awake that time.
OK.
Sounds like a not very good sorceress.
-
:hmm:
Can TD have two tries in one, please... ;D
Lower Wych in Cheshire or Lower Wyche in Worcs. :-\
-
You most certainly can TD. They are both :no: though. :)
-
If someone isn't very good they could be described as middling ...so are we at Middlewich in Cheshire ?
-
No middling with you. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: That's the one.
Over to you.
-
Whey hey ...
You could sit and write here >:D
-
I found a Deskford near Aberdeen.
Something tells me it's going to be a bit more difficult than that. I.E. >:D
-
There's Deskie in Aberdeenshire?
-
:D
:no: sorry to both .... you need to look at older desks ;)
-
:idea:
Davenport in Cheshire?
-
et Voila ! :clap2: :clap: Eric ..... over to you !
-
Way-hay :dance:
Next one then:
where travellers are born?
-
A wild guess here ..............Gipsyville, Yorkshire. :-\
-
Sorry, too wild :)
-
Well a good place to start life is at ...................Start, Devon ................which is my next guess.
-
Sorry :no:
Think about travellers... ;)
-
I'm at a loss as to what travellers you refer. I t doesn't appear to be the Romany, Gipsy type of traveller. :shrug2:
-
'Traveller' in the sense of someone who goes on a journey... ;)
-
Another wildish guess..........................Eggesford Station, Devon?
Born = Egg, traveller = station.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Herefordshire?
New born may be described as green.........so.......Walker's Green :-\
-
Someone who goes on a journey .... leaves .. and 'borrowing' TD's green .... there's a Leaves Green, in the borough of Bromley, London :-\ so that's my offering :)
-
All good tries, but all wrong, I'm
pleased sorry to say. ;D
If you think harder you should make progress.
-
:idea:
Pilgrims Hatch, in Essex :-\
-
You've got it! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you...
-
Woohooo... :D
ok
small one, but healthy
-
Scottiesmum will have field day with this one. :lol:
-
:P :lol:
Well my FL has been boosted by my shoppy/lunchy trip . so I'll try this ...
Healthy could be 'hail and healthy' .... and small could be Little .... so my guess is Little Hale, in Lincolnshire :-\
-
>>>Well my FL has been boosted by my shoppy/lunchy trip <<< :swoon:
Little Hale ............. :no:
-
It's not been boosted that much has it :D .... I'll keep travelling ;D
-
Continuing with Little for small, if it's healthy it could be quite wick.
Little Catwick, Yorkshire?
-
:no: sorry
Not so much small..........more small one :)
-
:hmm:
I think the small one was a pal of Dave Dee and Dozy ;)
-
I couldn't find anything relating to Mick so I think it may be
.................Tichwell, Norfolk? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...Titchwell it is....
Back to you... :)
-
Way Hey!
Here's one I prepared earlier.
Is this where we say goodbye then?
-
:hmm:
Could we be in Staffordshire............Farewell :-\
-
Yes we could. That didn't take long. Well done. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Woohoohooo... :D
ok
alphabet deficient by a kiss
-
Could we be at Nox in Shropshire? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
We are indeed....Nox it is..
Over to you... ;D
-
Way-hay :)
Right then, a very easy one as I have to go out:
A place for a climbing crustacean.
-
Are we at Crabtree, Devon or
Crabtree, Sussex ?
-
That didn't take long ;D :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
It's all yours...
-
Oooh! thank you.
Enjoy your day out.
OK.
Strong nose perhaps?
-
Sorry I may be misleading you a bit .
Maybe it should Healthy nose.
-
Think of another name for your nose ;)
-
Oh eck! Got you all confused have I?
Maybe you don't know the term I am looking for. You should be able to work out the healthy bit, well it's the usual one.
-
The nose bit rhymes with honk.
-
:hmm:
I cannot find such a place on my map, but the hints seem to lead us to Conkwell... :-\
-
There is a village called Conkwell, so I think you've got it TD. :)
http://leisure.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/search/all/conk/1?q=conk&gazName=p
-
You mean I have one in my gazetteer in Wiltshire and it is not on your AA map.
You have the correct place anyway :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Over to you.
Thank you Roseway, you posted as I was already in the process.
-
Woohoo....a bitty red in the face about that one, but not bad guessing. Need new road map.........have lost the B and C pages from existing one.. :(
Anyway...try your hand at this one.
small mound for a desperate cowboy
-
mmmmmmmmmmmm ! ;D Well, Jim Dale played a fairly desperate cowboy in Carry on Cowboy .... a mound could be a hill, and there is a Hill Dale in Lancashire .... so that my starter for 10 ;D
-
:no: sorry.
Even more desperate :)
-
A small mound could be a hillock, and there was a cowboy called Lavern Berry (but I don't know if he was desperate) so I'll take a guess at Berryhillock in Moray... :-\
(There are several other cowboys called Berry as well.)
-
:no: ................but.. hillock ;)
Anyone for cowpie ? :yum:
-
I guess we're talking about Desperate Dan (my childhood hero) but I can't find a place which joins Dan with Hillock... All I can find is Dan's Hill in Northumberland. :no:
-
There's Danehill in East Sussex ..... Dan could be Danny - Dan E .. I suppose ... :-\
-
Ooooh..you are both so very close....but TD is going to be very strict and demand a precise answer... :graduate:
Perhaps if you had a scenic drive from Banff to Turriff along the A947 ;)
-
Well, I'm blowed. There is a place called Danshillock, near Banff. It's in my AA Atlas, but not in either of the online gazetteers which I've consulted.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum...
Back to you ;D
-
Ooooooooo well done Eric ... I had a "walk" up the A947 .... I saw Morrisons Motors, Gorrachie, Plaidy and few other places, but only two hills ... Gellyhill and Keilhill .. I looked up Dan Keil and Dan Gelly, in case they were cowboys ;D and it's amazing how many people have these names (some of them may well be 'cowboys' :D ) ..... all to no avail .... and then ...voila ! Eric has the answer ..... and I didn't see that on my walk ;D
-
It's quite a long walk from Banff to Turriff, so I think you would probably have needed refreshment half way - somewhere near Danshillock. :lol:
-
For a lunchy ... bonne idée ;D
sorry, back to the serious work .... ;)
-
As you say, enough of this foolery, back to the serious business :)
You'd have to be nuts to live here!
-
What's all this foolery going on while I've been slaving away. ;D
Nuts brings to mind walnuts. Are we in Walnut Tree, Buckinghamshire?
-
I'm thinking of another definition of nuts .... and wonder if we might be in the tiny hamlet of Bedlam, in Shropshire :-\
-
I thought it a bit insane guessing at walnuts.
But there are two places called Bedlam. :'(
-
Sorry, but you're both wrong. :)
But one of you was moving in the right direction...
-
Well if we are looking for a mental institution then Rampton, Nottinghamshire is the more famous one so that would be my next guess.
Rampton, Nottinghamshire?
-
Sorry :no:
I don't think I mentioned which one was moving in the right direction...
-
You didn't say which one of us was going in the right direction, although that may be a clue.
Maybe it's Almondbury, Yorkshire? :-\
-
Sorry again, but you are on the right path. :)
-
Could we be at Cobb in Devon perhaps ? :-\
-
:hmm:
Or in Derbyshire............Hazelwood :-\
-
>>> Hazelwood :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Your turn with the baton...
-
Woohooo.... :D
Here's a Sunday Simples..
little Sarah sounds peculiar
-
Are we at Odsal near Bradford ..... odd .... Sally :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
OMG straight in with full marks...Odsal it is.. :D
Over to you.......errmmm..... :scare:
-
Wheeeeeeeeeee ;D
I suppose this place could describe the demise of Anne Boleyn and others !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Lanarkshire..........Headlesscross :-\
-
:no: sorry >:D
-
:(
Choppington, in Northumberland.... :-\
-
Sorry for delay .... :) .... but it's a :no: again .... your are on the right lines but think what actually happened when the guillotine struck :o
-
I think she suddenly had a .........................Slackhead................ like the one in .......................Banffshire.
Could that be the place?
-
:no: sorry Colin II .... both yourself and TD have the 'head' reference correct .... you need to think about what happened to the head ..... Ring a Ring o' Roses might help ;) then you need to jiggle it about a bit :) hth :angel:
-
I couldn't find Atishoo Atishoo but I did find ..........Downhead, Somerset. :-\
Maybe that's it.
-
Are we near Llanelli ..........Tumble :hmm:
-
bless you :D
:no: not exactly !! but you have two of the components ;D sing the rhyme again ...... then jiggle the three words about .... it's easy peasy really >:D
Ooooops nearly missed you TD ... sorry no .. but see above for help :)
-
I've now got the rhyme firmly entrenched in my mind, going round and round in my head. :wall: :lol:
-
:lol:
That made me fall about laughing ;)
-
Atishoo Atishoo, all fall down !!! any warmer ? :-\
-
I am being totally thick today. :(
have looked for all combinations of Fall Down Head that I can think of. I have use Google Maps, Yahoo maps the British Place Names Gazetteer all to no avail. I can't find it. Where's TD gone to?
-
He's probably gone to the place you're looking for :lol:
Now you have nearly the three components ..... but Anne Boleyn and others were of another tense !! change that .... put them together and then enjoy a cream tea !! ;)
-
I'm here, ss44, :)
I'm totally baffled, ss44 :(
Still trying..as it now seem that we are in Devon... :-\
-
Felldownhead, Devon?
-
:lol: Eric strolls in with the answer :clap2: :clap2: ;D Mr. Cool :lol: over to you
-
Well done Eric.
-
Phew,,,thank goodness somebody solved that one..... :D
-
It was quite obvious really 8) ;D
Of course, 'Felldownhead' could have a completely different meaning in a nautical context. :o
Right then:
The result of failing to rinse the car properly after washing it?
-
As well as streaky marks all over it it would also be rather ............Dull, and there is one of those in Perthshire. Is that where we are?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Essex.....Slippery Ford :-\
>>Of course, 'Felldownhead' could have a completely different meaning in a nautical context.<< :lol:
-
Sorry to both :no:
-
:hmm:
We may have been here before....but are we near Wick .............Latheronwheel :-\
-
>>> Latheronwheel
You've gottit! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you..
-
Wowooo.. :D
ok...easypeasy
only four vowels allowed
-
Meaning that the fifth one has been vetoed ;)
-
:hmm:
Could we be in Argyll & Bute, at Oban?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yes we could...and we are... ;D
Back to you.
-
Erm! I thought 'U' was the fifth vowel? ;D
-
What a clever clue ..... :)
-
Way-hay :dance:
There's a lot of moss here
-
Stirling, Aberdeenshire ?
That's a fair bit of moss.
-
Hole in one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Yaah! I didn't expect to drive that one. :D
Another easy one then.
Optimistic guy.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Morayshire............Hopeman :-\
-
Another hole in one. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Over to you TD.
-
Wayhay... :D
ok
does this describe a deer's brother ?
-
A young doe might refer to her brother as a dumb buck.
So at the risk of insulting us males I will guess at Dumbuck, Dumbartonshire? :-\
-
mmmmmmmmmmmm :'( little tricky one this :) but ............ I suppose a sibling could be described as being from the same batch ;D so what about Stagbatch, Hereford/Worcester ... :-\ I'm not holding my breath ;D
-
Sorry..but :no: to both.
>>buck<< ;)
-
It could be an endearing name such as ............Buckie and there's one of those in Banffshire :-\
That's my next guess -----------Buckie, Banffshire.
Sorry if I hid the guess.
-
:no: sorry
A deer's brother could be included amongst his kith and kin ;)
-
:shrug2: Still thinking though!
-
I'm considering Santa's helpers here .... but I could be way off track with my FL ;D
-
Santa's Helpers............... :swoon:
:no:
You have identified "buck" .........all you need is to look among his kith and kin,,,, ;)
-
:hmm:
Buckskin in Hampshire?
-
:no: sorry..........but you have all the elements. In fact too many......think singular and then rearrange a wee bit. ;)
-
Kinbuck, Perthshire ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum.....back to you.. ;D
-
Sorry Roseway, just pinched that one from you.
Thank you TD.
OK.
A very substantial place.
-
Well my Santa thoughts were definitely off track :D
So, are we perhaps looking for Sizewell, Suffolk in this instance :-\
-
Sorry, but no we aren't.
-
:hmm:
Are we up near Thurso...........Bighouse :-\
-
:no: Sorry, however you are on the right track.
-
Castle, in Somerset :hmm:
-
:no: You have gone off the right track now.
-
:cry2:
TD tries again.... :hmm:
Warwickshire..............Manor House :-\
-
Oh! dear :no: , we are going astray here.
The original clue was substantial, meaning of substance.
-
A thesaurus might help you out.
-
There's a Bulkeley in Cheshire .... are we there ? :-\
-
:no: Sorry.
>>bulk<< is interesting even though it's not in the name of this place.
-
Stout in Somerset? :-\
-
Yaah! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance:
Stout it is. Well done Roseway.
Over to you.
-
Ooh, gosh! ;D
Right then, an easy one to let the brains cool down:
Sounds like an American egg.
-
Sunnyside, W.Sussex perhaps ? :-\
-
Straight to the heart! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Over to you, Kate...
-
Ooooooooo ! .... Don't look so startled Eric :angel:
This sounds like quite a lavish place !
-
I'm thinking palatial so apart from the obvious ones I'll try,
Palacefields, Cheshire?
-
:no: sorry Colin !
-
:hmm: Could this be connected to a certain member's shoppy exploits.....big spender......big buyer...big buy...maybe just sounds like that..
Bigby....in Lancashire... :-\
-
Oooooooooooooooo :D no sorry TD ..... but there is a material touch to it ;)
-
:hmm:
Motherwell :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ..... you need to get more into the fabric of the place ;)
-
:idea:
What about Silksworth, Durham ?
-
:no: sorry Colin .... this fabric comes in piles ;)
-
There is a plush fabric and I found a place called Plush in Dorset.
So Plush, Dorset is my next guess.
-
Whey hey .... and you've arrived !! Plush, Dorset it is :clap2: :clap2:
-
Yaaah!
A nice easy one.
Could be a new shoot.
-
Could be a new shooter.
-
Gun Green in Kent? :-\
-
Good shot Roseway, bullseye :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Way-hay ;D
Right then:
The only road in the district?
-
:hmm:
Sole Street...in Kent :-\
-
Straight there again! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you...
-
Wayhay... :D
Here's a Sunday Simples
indigent teen
-
Well ............... ;D an indigent teen might busk to earn some money ................ and there is a Busk in Cumbria ... so that's my first guess ! Are we there perhaps ? :-\
-
:-X
Or could we perhaps be in Ladbroke, Warwickshire?
-
Well ............... ;D an indigent teen might busk to earn some money ................ and there is a Busk in Cumbria ... so that's my first guess ! Are we there perhaps ? :-\
:swoon:
:no:
@ roseway :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: .......Ladbroke it is..
Back to you.
-
Woo-hoo :dance:
Next one then:
How to make a mortice?
-
Well ...... as you didn't like my busking :D I'll have a go at making this one complicated too :lol:
If your were to make one in an oak door you would hollow out the oak ... so what about Hollow Oak in Dorset ..... :-\ or do I feel a :swoon: coming on ? :lol:
-
OR ..... you might just make a hole ..... Hole in Devon :-\ ?
-
10 out of 10 for ingenuity, but sorry :no: :D
-
I can't come up with anything to beat Scottiesmum so I will have to make do with
Deepcut, Surrey?
-
Sorry, you need to think more about the process of making a mortice. ;)
-
What about Sawood near Bradford :-\
-
You're on the right track, Kate, but use a more appropriate tool...
-
Maybe we are at .........Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. :-\
-
Sorry again :no:
What's the traditional way of making a mortice? ;)
-
:hmm:
You might use a chisel............and "hurst" is Ye Olde English name for a wood........so...are we at Chislehurst :-\
-
>>> "hurst" is Ye Olde English name for a wood
I didn't know that. :)
You're so close, I should probably allow the answer (but I won't just yet ;D )
Wood isn't specifically mentioned ;)
-
I've been dancing around chisel from the start.
Chislet, Kent ?
-
>>> Chiselt, Kent ?
Apart from the typographical inexactitude, yes, Chislet ('chisel it') :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
I thought I had corrected the typo before you saw it. I spelt chisel correctly, but the name is the wrong way round.
Thank you TD anyway, you got me on the right road so to speak.
Easy peasy after that one.
Just a bit scorched maybe.
-
:hmm:
Chard, in Somerset :-\
-
Sorry not this time, good idea though.
-
Could we be in Burn in Yorkshire :-\ ?
-
:no: Sorry, but you are getting warmer, ;D
-
:hmm:
Blackburn :-\
-
or ........ I've been thinking ;D .............. if something is a bit scorched it might just be part of it ..... and that could be the outer part !! so what about Otterburn, Northumberland (outerbrun) :-\ :'( 8)
-
Sorry :no: to both. TD yours is a bit too scorched, it's gone black :o
Kate: you are thinking along the right lines, a ways off yet though.
-
Just a tidgey bit scorched.
-
Is there a place called Bronzing over there ?? :D
-
I don't know of one. You have had half the name of the place twice. ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we in Ayrshire............Smallburn :-\
-
Yes we are. You've got it TD. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Yay..woohooo... :D
okays...easypeasy one
sounds like a roman mark
-
Anthony, Cornwall perhaps ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum.......despite the error... :graduate: ........ :D ..........Antony it is...
Back to you... :silly:
-
;D .... It must be because I was always taught to use my H-H-H-H-H- aitches :lol:
OK ... I shall continue with the easypeasy ........
This place could be horrid if rearranged !
-
THIS PLACE COULD BE HORRID IF RE-ARRANGED :lol:
-
:shrug2:
-
(I was shouting in case no-one had heard the first time ;D )
Think of another word for horrid ... and then rearrange it 8)
-
Ah! I couldn't understand why you were laughing so much. Sorry for acting so dumb.
Anyway if one re-arranged the word nasty you could finish up with ...............ansty................ Now there are 3 of them.
So I will just go for any one of them and say Ansty. ?
-
et voila !! :clap2: :clap2: Any nasty will do !! :D
-
Yaah!
Now then.
Are they a bit slack on this pasture.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Suffolk...........Laxfield :-\
-
Yes we are TD, another hole in one. :clap: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Over to you.
-
Yay..wayhay... :D
hokeydokey...
anchor on a bed
-
This is a long shot ..... again ! ;D
Is there a place called Berth ? ............ which is to anchor and is a bed ! :)
-
:no: sorry
-
There's a Moorcot in Herefordshire .......... anchor - moor ... cot - bed ? Any warmer :-\ :)
-
:no: sorry >:D
-
:lol: you're not sorry really :P
-
:lol:
I am...I am...promise... >:D
-
Is your middle name Pinocchio ? :lol:
Now ... errrrrrm .... could we be talking about the sea bed ?
-
>>Is your middle name Pinocchio ? << :o
>>the sea bed << :no:
:hmm: ...anchor.....not so much what it does, be more descriptive of it... ;)
-
Well ..... it looks like a hook ..... and there is a Hook in Devon, (there are a few others as well) so is that it ? ............ but that doesn't cover the 'bed' bit :'(
-
:no: sorry
There are various types of anchor... ;)
-
There's Anchor butter :lol:
-
:lol:
There is also a very reliable and steadfast anchor.......protect against any trouble ;)
-
I'm getting a bit worried as to what you put on your bed TD. ???
-
:lol:
This type of anchor could also describe a mentor, supporter, solid confidence builder in times of stress or trouble. ;)
-
I've been toying with 'rock' for some time now, and I guess that's it. I just haven't found the bed yet.
-
There's a place called Cradle Rocks in Powys... :no: :no:
-
>> 'rock' << :no:
>> cradle rocks << :no: sorry
A supportive tower of strength to hold on to in times of extreme stress. ;)
It is very pleasant in Hampshire at this time of year.. :)
-
A supportive tower of strength to hold on to in times of extreme stress.
...... I didn't know there was a place called hubby ;D
-
;D
Now then...interesting...you could call hubby "my rock" , "my hero", "my ***** anchor" "my pillar of strength" etc etc....
-
I think I'm losing myself here ..... but I've found Bulwark, in Monmouthshire ............ but unless it's a Scottish term, I can't connect the bed ;D
-
:no: sorry.........I mentioned Hampshire... :)
Something or someone who anchors you to logic and calmness and helps prevent you being buffeted around by life's storms......and what do you put on beds... ;)
-
oops, sorry, forgot about Hampshire ::) !
-
:doh:
Sheet in Hampshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay..woohoo...you gottum........sheet anchor.....Sheet it is...
Back to you.
-
:clap2: :clap: :clap2: Oh well done Eric ! ... I was looking for duvets :D .............. I had never heard of a sheet anchor .. but I have now :)
-
Oh my word :blush:
Now let's see:
A thoroughly modern servant?
-
It seems to have gone quiet here :)
A rather senior servant... ;)
-
???
"thoroughly modern" ..........I keep getting hung up with Millie..........but can make no sense of this... :-X .........yet >:D
Puts on thinking cap.. :graduate:
-
Not Millie, just modern :)
-
I've been mulling this over ...... I've been thinking of civil servant .... and a senior civil servant could be a minister ... so a play on that .... what about Upminster, near London ?
-
Good thinking but sorry :no:
Domestic, not civil, although normally not uncivil. ;D
-
Well I'll have a stab at ............Kitchenroyd, Yorkshire.
Only because I can't think of anything else.
-
Sorry again. :no:
Who would be the senior domestic servant in a posh toff's establishment?
-
I've been looking at Butler.........but cannot link it with "modern" or similar... :(
-
Me too TD ....and Valet ...but can't find any link there either :'(
...although there is a Vallay in the Western Isles, so I'll give that a whirl :-\
-
:idea:
Are we in Oldham..........Butler Green :hmm:
-
Not quite there yet...
>> Butler :thumbs:
Now you need the modern part (i.e. not old) ;)
-
What centres of habitation have names which sound modern?
-
:idea:
Are we over the water and near Enniskillen, in Ulster...........Newtown Butler :-\
-
>> Newtown Butler
You've gottit! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you (phew!)...
-
Yay..woohooo..... :D
phew, indeed..........forgot about Ireland :-[
okays
additional indefinite in a Scottish flag.
-
Could we be in Saltaire near Bradford ? ( a is an indefinite article and the Saltire is the Scottish flag ..... ) :-\
-
:clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Woowoo...straight in with the winner........Saltaire it is.... :D
Over to you... :silly:
-
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeey ;D
I've been searching for an 'easypeasy' one >:D
A bird with a white stick !
-
:hmm:
Are we up Cumbria way............Blindcrake :-\
-
I KNEW it was too easypeasy :D :clap: :clap2: :clap: TD .....
-
:dance: wayhayhay..... :D
hokeydokey..Sunday Simples
thoroughfare, but for which fish
-
Could it be a solitary fish? Maybe a Monkfish. We could then have Monk Street, Essex. :-\
-
:no: sorry, but "street" is ok. :)
-
Well maybe Sole Street, Kent? That might be the right fish.
-
Oooo.......so very near....just one word missing......remember the "which" fish.... ;)
-
Whatsole Street are we talking about? That one in Kent is it?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the one...you gottum... :D
Back to you.. :)
-
Woo Hoo! I got one.
Another easy one for Sunday.
Is this Little Jack's place?
-
:hmm:
Are we still in Kent..........The Corner :-\
-
Oh :no: Nearly as easy though.
-
:-\
One Jack sat in a corner...........one Jack went up a hill to get a bucket of water, so.......Bucket Corner in Hampshire... :hmm:
-
You know your nursery rhymes then. Sorry :no:
-
There's a Horner in Somerset ... is that it ? :-\
-
You are quite close with Horner. Wrong place though. Sorry!
-
:idea:
Horner House, in Yorkshire :hmm:
-
A sleep on it did the trick. You got it :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Your turn TD.
-
Yayhay..woohoo... :D
Simples to try...
be proficient at hanging out the laundry
-
There's a feature called Washing Rocks in Cornwall... :no: ;D
-
:D good idea, but...... :no: I'm afraid.
-
Well ........... I'm wondering if the French language comes into this ..... ' linge ' is laundry and proficiency cold be a skill ............. SO ... there is a place called Skilling, in Dorset ....and I wonder if we are there ?? I await the fainting icon :lol:
-
>>> I await the fainting icon <<< .............it's here :swoon:
;D
:no: sorry, nothing to do with French lingo...although France may be spotted from this place.. ;)
-
How could you hang your washing... :-\
-
:idea:
Pegwell in Kent?
-
I think you have that one pegged.
-
@ roseway.... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place.... ;D
Over to you.
-
Way-hay ;D
Here we go:
It sounds as though you have to pay to get your feet wet.
-
:idea:
Could this be Tolpuddle, Dorset ?
-
Straight there in one! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you...
-
OooH Weee!
OK.
Another name for a budgie cage?
-
There's a Birdholme in Derbyshire ? perhaps :-\
-
Not this time Sorry. :no:
-
:hmm:
TD borrows some FL when you know who isn't looking... >:D
A budgie may be a male or a female, cock or hen, and a cage may be a hut.....
Are we in Shropshire..........Cockshutt :-\
-
The logic doesn't work for you either. :no:
Maybe if I said it sounds like a budgie cage.
-
I thought some of my logic had gone lmissng this morning :D
Now, there's a place called Burbage in Wiltshire, which if you cross your eyes hold your nose could sound like Birdcage !!! ;D could that be it :-\
-
:lol: :lol:
Thank you for making me laugh. Sorry but not the right place.
-
You might find one of these in a garden ;)
-
I've been looking for a place called Avery but can't .... but I'll guess that anyway ......... wherever it is :D
-
OR ... I have found a place called Aveley in Essex .... that could be a Chinese budgie cage :lol:
-
Sorry but :no: to both, and yes I do get the joke.
-
:hmm:
The natural, predominant colour for a budgie is green, and you get green things in a garden.
A cage may be a pound.
Are we in Berkshire.....Poundgreen :-\
-
We really are struggling here. Sorry TD but :no:
Think of bird in general, not just budgie, don't forget the sounds like.
-
If it were a budgie then the cage could also be its house.
-
Are we in Box,Glos ? :-\
-
Sorry yet again.
I honestly didn't think it would be this difficult. ::)
-
Think what TD would say when taking a photo of a young child. ;)
I don't mean say "cheese".
-
:idea:
Burdiehouse, Near Edinburgh :-\
-
Yah! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: Well done.
Over to you.
-
Ooooooooo, thank goodness for that :D I'm exhausted with all the travelling ;D
OK here's a simples ...........
A profound vehicle .......
-
Would this be Deepcar, near Sheffield? :-\
-
It most certainly would Eric .... :thumbs: :clap2: :clap: over to you :)
-
Ooh, I must have been employing my feminine side ;D
Here we are then...
A footballer of yore and a fish?
-
Could we be in Mooray, Wiltshire ? Bobby Moor and ray fish :-\
-
Sorry (not really) :no:
-
(not really) Is that a subtle clue ? :-\
-
No, I'm not that subtle, I was just being rude ;D
-
Oh, well that's OK then ;D back to the maps !
-
Charlton Mackrell, Somerset ? perhaps :-\
-
Spot on! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Over to you Kate :)
-
Whey hey ;D
This is almost a legendary place !
-
:hmm:

-
Wayhay...woohooo.... :D

-
There's a Congresbury in Somerset... :-\
-
There is indeed, but....... :no: sorry
-
:hmm:
Shaftesbury in Dorset?
-
:no: sorry.
"bury" ;)
fiddle, diddle, swindle :-\
-
I've digging ;) away at this one and the ONLY thing I can think of following all your hints TD is Dewsbury .... as in to 'do' someone ... to cheat them. I think it's a long shot, but it's my only thought :-\
-
:idea:
Diddlebury in Shropshire?
-
@ scottiesmum............ :swoon: ......... ;D
@ roseway..........Yay... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: that's the place.
Over to you.
-
Ooh goody :)
Richard's relation is a police officer?
-
:hmm:
richard = Ricard Burton :-\
Burton Constable...
-
Strictly speaking, :no:
but as you had the right two words I must be magnanimous. ;D
I was really thinking of Constable Burton in the North Riding.
Over to you TD...
-
Well a miss is as goos as a mile......... ;D you are too kind...but will grab the points with both hands.. ;)
ok
does this riverside suffer radio interference
-
Jodrell Bank in Cheshire perhaps? :-\
-
:no: sorry........a bit south of that.
bank ;)
-
There's a bit of noise coming from Crackleybank in Shropshire.
Could that be the place?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, you gottum ss44
Back to you.
-
Thank you Roseway for getting me started. :)
Here we go then.
A frightening place this.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Northumberland........Chillingham :-\
-
I'm afraid we're not, sorry.
-
What does ones body do when one feels a chill?
-
Are we at Shakerley, Nr. Wigan ? :-\
-
Sorry :no:
This place is so frightening even the buildings are frightened. :'(
That should give you the answer now.
-
:hmm:
people may quake and buildings fall in a quake.............are we at Quaker's Yard in Glamorgan :-\
-
Yet again it's :no: . Getting warmer though.
-
If you are frightened you would ? in your boots.
-
What about Quaking Houses, Co. Durham :-\
-
Hooray! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You got it Scottiesmum.
Over to you.
-
Ooooooooooooo !! It was TD's "quake" that gave me the clue :)
This place is not well known for its beaches !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Lancashire........at Bolton-le-Sands :-\
-
:no: Sorry TD ... Sorry but I might have misled you ... this place has no beaches and therefore is not famous for them >:D does that make it clearer :angel:
-
No ;D
-
Go back in time and think of beaches !! You may be surprised to find this place in this location ;)
-
Are we thinking about Normandy, Surrey ?
-
et Voila !!! yes we are Colin ... :clap2: :clap2: your turn :)
-
OoooH! That was a lucky guess!
Right now for a simple one.
I'm neither here nor there.
-
This is purely my FL .. so probably miles away !!! :D
The difference between Here and There is T ... and there is a place called Tees near Ingleton, Yorkshire ... we're not there are we :'( ;D
-
You're right we are not there. Sorry, I love the logic though ;D
-
Well, if I am not here, not there I must be somewhere :'(
-
I'm actually in-between.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Powys..........Middletown :-\
-
Sorry but :no:
Let's say you are halfway there ;)
-
Midway, Somerset :-\
-
Oh dear! I've confused you all again.
Sorry Scottiesmum, you are going cold now.
Middle is nearly ok.
-
:idea:
Middleham, in Yorkshire :hmm:
-
Sorry :no: It's even more middle than that. Its name suggests there may be more than one.
-
What about Middlebie, Dumfries and Galloway Middle ... bie (bi as in two ) more than one !! ?
-
I'm not that clever to think of that. Sorry :no:
Think of the plural of middle. I will need the full name now after that clue. >:D
-
:idea:
TD tries again... ;D
Are we near Durham............The Middles
-
Yah! TD wins. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Well done.
Over to you.
-
Yayhay..woohooo........phew, that was a puzzler.. ;D
ok
roundhead's guns
-
off the top of my head ... is there a place called Flintlock in the UK ?
-
Not sure if there is a Flintlock or not...but if there is.....sorry :no:
-
I'll try this then ... are we ate Muscott in Northamptonshire ? .... Roundheads would have used muskets ..... I'm not sure if I got the right end of the stick here ( or should that be gun !!) ;D
-
:D
:no: sorry.......... we're not wanting a type of gun........more of a collection of them.. :)
roundhead.. :hmm:
-
Well a collection of guns would be an armoury.
So are we in Armley, Yorkshire.?
-
:no: sorry.
A collection in the field of conflict perhaps..
-
I know there's an Arsenal Football Club of course, and there's an Arsenal Tube Station, but is there a place called Arsenal in the vicinity ?
-
:no: sorry
We are struggling with this group of guns... :( ..........perhaps they are AA sized
-
:idea:
Oliver's Battery in Hampshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place..
Over to you.
-
Oooooooooo I love clues like that !! even if they do baffle me :D :clap2: :clap2: Eric !
-
Ooh goody, I'll see if I can baffle you then ;D
A cure for nose bleed in a car?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Somerset...........Keyford :-\
-
Well ............. ;D something cold is good for a nose bleed ..... I've been looking for a Coldkeys or Cold Quays but to no avail :'( but ......I have found a Cooling in Kent ... and a car has a cooling system and something cold could be something cool ...... I think I'll stop digging :lol:
-
Sorry to both :no:
>>> I think I'll stop digging
Don't do that, it might just help ;)
-
The nose bleed cure is herbal...
-
:hmm:
Are we near Selkirk...........Yarrowford :-\
-
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you...
-
Yay..woohooo.. :D
This one is simples.
complimentary people
-
If the answer is Freefolk, Hampshire I will be surprised.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Not only surprised, but correct :D.....well done ss44...
Back to you.
-
Wow, not just surprised, gob-smacked would be a better word.
Try this one then.
Does Mick The Marmalizer and his friends drink from here?
-
:idea:
Are we in Devon, at Diddywell :hmm:
-
To be sure we are. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Wayhay.... ;D
okays...easypeasy one
brother ogden was lyrical
-
I'm not sure this is as complicated as I am about to make it :lol: but .... Ogden Nash was a poet born in the USA in a place called Rye ... there is a Rye in East Sussex .. is that the connection ? :'(
-
:D
:no: sorry
>>Ogden Nash was a poet << :angel: ...you have the ogden and lyrical parts, now to solve the brother bit.. :)
-
A brother could be in a monastery we would then have
Monknash, Glamorgan. :-\
-
oooooooooooo that looks promising Colin :)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, ss44, that's the place.. Monknash..
Back to you... :)
-
Thank you Scottiesmum for getting me on the road.
Another easy one
This place sounds like it's home to apes.
-
Africa ? :lol:
-
I don't think we have one of those. ::)
If I say these apes are Barbary apes will it help ?
-
Gibraltar in Kent, Bucks or Beds?
-
Take your pick.
They are all correct.
The reason is a spelling mistake in the Gazetteer . One Gibraltar was spelt with an e as in Gibralter. There isn't one.
So Roseway has it :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you.
-
Sorry, I haven't been paying attention. I'll be back shortly.
-
That boy at the back there, wake up. :whip:
-
I've woken up (I think).
Sounds like the French fool
-
bouffon is one word for a French fool .... and there's a Bufton in Leicestershire ..... or is that too easy :-\ ;D
-
Yes, too easy ;D
It was the French fool, not a French fool, which might help initially.
-
fool: ass, dimwit, idiot, nitwit, twerp... sounds like
-
I suppose we could be looking for a posh clown.
So I'll have a guess at Clowne, Derbyshire :-\
-
Sorry :no:
The synonym for 'fool' was in my list above, but spelt very differently, and don't forget the French initially (one letter)...
-
Clutching at straws now but
Llantwit, Glamorgan ?
-
Sorry again, but you're making progress. The first letter is correct.
The single letter form of the French definite article is l' (but forget the apostrophe) and is followed by a vowel or y...
-
:hmm:
Initial L and sounding a bit like one of these synonyms...but misspelt...idiot perhaps...
:idea: are we in Lancashire..........Lydiate :-\
-
>> Lydiate :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
(Sorry, perhaps it was a bit obscure)
Over to you, TD...
-
>>(Sorry, perhaps it was a bit obscure) :swoon: :lol:
-
Obscure..? Certainly not........but worthy of the Countess herself... :D
ok Sunday Simples
kim, by the sound of it
-
Time to get the map and spy out the land... :hmm:
-
Are we talking about Kim Philby the spy by any chance?
If we are then there is a Filby in Norfolk. Will that do?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That will do nicely, Sir..... ;D
Back to you.
-
OoooWee I wasn't too sure about that one.
Here goes then.
Sounds like the sarcophagus just got bigger.
-
:hmm: .........are we in Devon.......Coffinswell :-\
-
Yes we are.................... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Yay..woowoo.... :D
ok
tragic Danish cigar
-
:hmm:
Hamlet in Devon?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's it..
Over to you.
-
Way-hay ;D
It's too late in the evening for rational thought, so I'll be back tomorrow morning. :)
-
Right then, bright eyed and bushy tailed again:
Young Jack's brother
-
There are many a Jack, but only one Little Jack, Little Jack Horner. But I can't find a brother for him. So I'll go for Robert Charleton, aka Bobby Charleton.
Bobby's brother was called Jack, or Jackie. Which finally leads me to ........Ta Da................. Robert's Town, Glamorgan. :-\
-
Good thinking but no, sorry.
Put a question mark at the end of the clue, then review what you just said...
-
There's a place called............. Charleton ..............in Devon. Is that it?
-
Sorry, nothing to do with Bobbie Charlton...
-
Are we looking for Horner, Somerset ?
-
Very near, but he's got a first name...
-
The only other horner I can find has a T in front of it making it ............Thorner, Yorkshire :-\
I suppose T must stand for something.
-
:no:
The place you're looking for is in Aberdeenshire ;)
-
Well I found a place called Gourdon which I suppose is pronounced Gordon.
I don't see a connection to Young Jack if that is the place but that's my next wild guess.
Gourdon, Aberdeenshire.
-
Sorry, not so warm. :no:
You were close with Horner - all you need is a first name in front of it.
(It's a very small place, but it does exist. ;D )
-
NJ 959 653
-
:swoon: ???
-
It's a grid reference. You might prefer to look at the shorter version NJ9665... :crazy:
-
Percyhorner, Aberdeenshire :-\
-
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you SS44...
-
Well that was a lucky guess. :lol:
OK.
Sounds like a writing flower.
Edit: Corrected spelling error.
-
Phew....thank goodness somebody got Percyhorner.. :D
:hmm: you could use ink to write, and in would flow through a pen.
Are we at Inkpen in Berkshire,,, :-\
-
Percy must have been a toughie if you were struggling TD.
Now you are half right with this one, which half though?
-
>>>which half though<<<.........that's what I was hoping you would tell us.... :D
:idea:
Penrose, in Cornwall... :hmm:
-
I didn't need to tell you. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the one.
Over to you.
-
ya...woohooo... :D
hokeydokey...
singular item of lingerie ?
-
This is inviting some interesting responses :lol:
There's a place called Pant in Powys... :-\
-
:D
:no: sorry
-
>>>>This is inviting some interesting responses
I could see right through that.
-
Could it be Stocking, Herefordshire?
Thinking of silk stockings as lingerie. :-\
-
:no: sorry
Don't be too specific. :)
-
Aha!
Undy, Monmouthshire :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay..that's it....
Back to you. :)
-
OooWeee!
Here we go then.
Punch physiognomy ?
-
I have a spare thesaurus which might come in handy.
-
:hmm: ...........thinks of Suffolk Punch
Are we in Norfolk........at Horsey :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Think of punch as an attack. ;)
-
:hmm: ..........TD blunders around in the dark... :D
Around here, a punch could be a lam...........and having the characteristics of such may be "as a lam"
Are we near Norwich.............Lamas :-\
-
Er! I can see one is somewhat lost TD. :'(
May I suggest you concentrate on the physiognomy part.
The first part will surely come easily.
-
Everybody has a physiognomy.
-
Punch....(as in and Judy ) has a huge hooked nose.
Are we at The Hook in Worcestershire :hmm:
-
Sorry TD, you are still a way off the answer. What is the nose stuck on? :D
-
:idea:
Clock Face in Lancashire..... :-\
-
Yaaa! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: About time ;D
Sorry if you haven't heard about clocking someone.
Back to you.
-
Yay..woohooo.......TD is just not used to all this violent stuff .. :D
ok
four drams for a brother
-
Hmm.. four drams is half a fluid ounce (except in Scotland, where it can be up to ten times as much when whisky is being dispensed. ;D )
All of which gets me exactly nowhere, so I'll leave it until tomorrow...
-
:D
Fluid ounces.... :no:
-
If we are not talking fluid ounces the are we talking dry ounces? If we are then 1 dram = 60 grains or 1/8th of an ounce or 3.89 grams.
That means 4 drams is 4 times the amount.
Another meaning of a dram is a small quantity of anything, so we have 4 time a small amount of anything.
In other words I'm still no wiser. :swoon:
-
;D
We are talking of a liquid measure, but think in expressions of volume and not weight.........and four drams in my neck of the woods will make one of these. :)
-
>>> four drams in my neck of the woods will make one of these.
I don't think there's a place called Drunken Scotsman, is there? ;D
-
:o
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm .... :hmm: being the abstemious person that I am :angel: I'm looking at "tot" for the 4 drams .... that's as far as I've got up to now ?? :'(
-
:no:
This measure could sound like Jack's friend...when they went for a different drink.
-
Could there be a Brother Rowland (I can't find one)? If so, then we could possibly be at
Rowlands Gill in Durham ? :-\
-
:no: sorry
>>gill<< ;)
A brother, not a brother's name.. :)
-
Hmm.. I'm guessing now, but is there a place called Friars Gill? :-\ :no:
-
:no: ......sorry.
You're not looking for the right signs .......secular ones.. :)
-
:idea: Crossgill, Cumbria :-\
-
:no: sorry
secret signs ;)
-
:idea: :doh:
Masongill in the West Riding?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place....
Back to you..
-
Phew! :silly:
Here we go then, a very easy one...
Liberated people
-
Are we in Freefolk in Hampshire ? :-\
-
Well I'm not, but it's the right answer nevertheless. ;D
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you (trembling in anticipation)...
-
Whey hey !!! I'll try not to disappoint Eric ;D
Basil's shelter ?
-
Boom! Boom!
-
:hmm:
Fox Hole, in Glamorgan :-\
-
;D @ Colin ....
TD ... Sorry :no: ..... but you do have the correct Basil..... :angel:
-
I didn't realize it was the correct Bazil. I came down off the roof to post that as well.
How about .............. Broom's Barn, Suffolk.?
-
Sorry Colin :no: stick to the Fox .....
he may like French ribs ;)
(be careful on that roof ! your not putting a door on it are you ? :lol:)
-
:lol: :lol:
-
:hmm:
French rib bones would be os de cote...........and there are several Foxcotes.....soooo.....Foxcote :-\
-
:clap: :thumbs: Oui ! TD .... you've got it .. Foxcote, I was looking at the one in Gloucestershire :) over to you.....
-
Wayhay...woohoo... :dance:
Here's an easy one
violinists
-
I think I'm rushing in here .... but hey ho !! ;D Fiddlers Hamlet, Essex ? :-\ ............ or would that mean they violinists having a quick cigar :D
-
:D
but sorry, :no:
-
Fiddler's Green. ? A choice of three makes it plural.
-
:no: sorry
What do violinists use... :hmm:
-
Apart from a violins the use bows.
Bowes, Yorkshire. ?
-
:no: sorry.
>> use bows << ;) .......and violinists who use bows might be called... :-\
-
Well that could be archers, however I can't find anywhere with archers in the name.
The nearest is ............ Archiestown, Morayshire .................... is that it?
-
:no: sorry...........stay with the violinists and their bows.. :)
-
Bowers in Staffs perhaps? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum.
Back to you.
-
Woo-hoo :dance:
Right then:
What the vicar did with his car?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Cambridgeshire............Parson Drove :-\
-
Straight to it! :silly:
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you, TD...
-
Yay... :D
ok...easy one..
erect monolith
-
Well ............. ;D A church could be monolithic .... and to be erect might be to be upwards ..... and ..... wait for it ;D there's an Upchurch, in Kent .... (which, if it's the correct answer you'll already know :D ) are we there ? :-\
-
Oh dear, the FL is back..... :swoon:
:no: sorry........too complex :)
-
:D I thought so !!!
I'll keep it simples .... :) Stone, in Staffs ? :-\
-
:no: sorry.
>> Stone << ;) .all we now is to identify the erect bit.
-
:idea: Standingstone, Cumbira :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Wayhay....you gottum...
Over to you.
-
I've nipped in for lunch :)....
Oooooooo ... here's a simples ...
30th November !
-
A bit of a guess here, as usual. St. Andrews, Fife ?
-
(Kate, I've just noticed that you've become a Dowager. According to the dictionary, "a dignified elderly woman" :-X ;D )
-
@ roseway..... :-X ........... :D
:hmm: 30th. Nov............Halloweeen.....All Hallows....
Are we in Worcestershire....Hallow :-\
-
Colin ... you've got it ... St.Andrew's, Fife it is :clap2: :clap2: :clap:
Sorry TD ... Eric :P I'll accept the dignified woman bit :lol: I've amended it ;D
-
Way hey hey! Now that's a surprise. TD My calendar has Halloween marked as 31st October :-\
Kate you are not going to have enough room to keep adding to your title. ;D
On with the game:
Feeling much better now.
-
>> TD My calendar has Halloween marked as 31st October << ......... :-[
-
The wound (a pretend one) is closing up quite nicely.
-
Don't worry TD .... I was looking at my diary the other day and couldn't figure out why the 6th September was marked as Saturday, when it should have been Monday .... then realised the diary was from 2008 :'( I could have missed some shoppy/lunchy days if I hadn't spotted that ::)
Anyway, back to this wound of yours Colin ;D are we in Healing, Lincolnshire ?
-
Ah! that's better, yes the Young Dowager has it. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
We wait with bated breath. Over to you.
-
Whey hey ..... ;D
An uplifting place ?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Yorkshire.........Crane Moor :-\
-
:no: sorry TD >:D
-
Would this possibly be Corselet in Ayrshire? :blush:
-
Eric !!! :o :lol:
sorry :no:
it's more of what you need to do to uplift rather than what to use to uplift ...... if that helps :angel:
-
I think a hole is being dug here ! :'(
Before we go any further down this road
Are we in a place called Raise, Cumberland ? :-\
-
Stop digging Colin ....you've got it :D :clap2: :clap2:
-
Yaaah!
A nice easy one.
The ridge where ash trees grew.
-
Old Norse origin gave this place it's meaning.
-
:hmm:
From that, I presume we at looking at a connection with Yggdrasil, the Old Norse sacred ash tree which was the gateway between heaven and earth........translated as Odin's Horse.
Still can't identify a place...will keep trying.. :-\
I'm back... ;D
Yggdrasil protected three realms, one of which was Asgard...................so could we be in Lincolnshire, at Asgarby :-\
-
Sorry, but :no:
According to my readings the name is not of mythology more of translation in language.
To get away from mythology and such, maybe if I said its name denoted Viking settlements. It became quite famous for clockmaking, hand-knitting as well as other trades.
-
Askrigg, Yorkshire perhaps ??
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Well done Scottiesmum.
Back to you.
-
wheeeeeee ! ;D
This place sounds like it's built of liquid refreshment !
-
:hmm:
Beer, in Somerset :-\
-
:no: sorry TD .... another word for beer might help ! :)
-
Could it be ........... Ale Oak, Shropshire ?
-
:hmm:
TD tries Somerset again.. ;D ........Stout :-\
-
:no: sorry to both answers ......
but .......Ale is good (ask Unc :D ) ...... now the original clue ...This place sounds like it's built of liquid refreshment ..... It might look like bad grammar ;)
-
.................a little more help :angel:
.... an innocent young lady would give you a lead ;) and a head covering would finish it off .....
-
:idea:
:hmm: ...........Maida Vale .... :-\
-
Whey ................. :clap2: :clap2: :clap: made of ale it is TD :lol:
-
Wayhay.... :D
A clever and crafty clue..... :thumbs:
ok...simples
innocently surprised valley
-
innocently......and maybe a bit schoolgirlish :)
-
A guess, because my Fl isn't working at the moment ( you might be pleased about that :lol: )
Is there a Coydale in the UK ?
-
:D
sorry..... :no:
A scottish valley ;)
-
ss44 is having a guess at Glencoe, Argyllshire :-\
-
:no: sorry........a bit further north.
>>glen ;)
-
You used to get this schoolgirlish surprised expression on jam-jars :)
-
Is this before Golliwogs were band?
We could be at ...........Glengolly, Thurso ................if that's the case.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place....
Back to you. :)
-
Gosh! that took some finding. ;D
OK then:
Ordinary trading.
-
:hmm:
Are we in South Wales.............Plain Dealings :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs: Well done TD.
Over to you.
-
Wayhay...wooohooo... :dance:
ok...Sunday Simples
sounds like a young tearaway
-
Heligan in Cornwall perhaps? (sounds a bit like 'hooligan') :-\
-
:no: sorry...........much further north.. :)
-
Ooooo it's all go on here isn't it ... golly !! ;D
Could we be in Wilden, Bedfordshire TD ? tearaway - wild 'un :-\
-
:no: sorry..............north, go north :)
-
:idea:
Rascal Moor, Yorkshire ?
-
:no: sorry...........even further north.
Think drainpipes, winkle pickers....smart dressers... ;)
-
Well ...... ;D
Teddy Boys come to mind .....and a tearaway might cause problems ... to 'sack' a place is something a tearaway might do ... and way oooop north in Angus there is Boysack ....
so that's my guess ... enough to make you :scare: at least :D
-
Good thinking but....sorry :no:
>>Teddy << ;) but more familiar. :)
-
O!. I'm feeling insulted. I was a Teddyboy, wore winkle pickers and drainpipes but I was no tearaway. ;D
-
We believe you, ss44............... :D
-
Drainpipes !!! so that's why you're always on the roof :lol:
-
:lol:
Teddy.........Eddy, Ed, Ted......?
-
There is some fantastic scenery between Clashnessie and Unapool ;)
-
:doh:
... and there's also a village called Nedd. ;D
-
Did he wear drainpipes as well?
-
:doh:
... and there's also a village called Nedd. ;D
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, you gottum. See how easy it is ? ;D
Over to you.
-
It took me a while to get that one with the answer ::) :D I think my FL needs an MOT ;D Well done Colin !
-
>>> I think my FL needs an MOT ;D Well done Colin !
:-X :-X :-X
-
Oooooooooooooooo Eric I'm so sorry ... I think I need an MOT :lol: WELL DONE ERIC !!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap: :clap: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :dance: :dance:
-
Ooops!
-
:lol:
Right then, a nice easy one after that:
Free
-
:lol:
You couldn't take her anywhere, could you...? ......... :D
-
:lol: Only twice TD .... the second time to apologise ::) :D
-
Have we been let Loose, in Kent ? ;D
-
You've achieved redemption, Kate. ;D :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
;D wheeeeeeeeee !!
OK then .... this place sounds like it is of good quality !
-
Colin No.2 is guessing ............... Top End, Bedfordshire ? :-\
-
:no: sorry Colin !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Monmouthshire............Gold Tops :-\
-
:no: sorry TD
concentrate on the fabrication !
(I'm off on a shoppy/lunchy so you have lots of time on this one :D )
-
:idea:
Maidwell, Northamptonshire ? :-\
-
OUI !! :thumbs: :clap2: :thumbs: that's the one Colin .....
-
Oooo! goody gumdrops.
Another easy one.
Large dwelling.
-
Bighouse in Sutherland?
-
Straight in with correct answer. :thumbs: :clap2: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you Roseway.
-
Ooh gosh, a hole in one :)
I'll be back...
-
Sorry, I'm rather late returning:
Plenty of yawns here?
-
I shall try .... Sleap, Shropshire ? :-\
-
Sorry :no: >:D
-
I could imaging a boring forum would start people yawning.
Blandford Forum, Dorset? :-\
-
Sorry again. It's more in the nature of what this place might do to its visitors...
-
:hmm:
There are two Borehams...could it be ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Just in time, I'm about to leave. ;D
-
Wayhay... :D
ok
Is Marx buried here ?
-
I'm not sure if this is too obvious but .............. Karl Marx is buried in Highgate Cemetery and there is a Highgate in Kent .... so I'll have that as my first guess :) :-\
-
:no: sorry..........a little more obtuse than that. :)
-
I suspected that :D off to stir the grey matter ;D
-
Marx...........what was that about flags flying high :hmm:
-
They- were flying high above the castle walls ....................so, could we be in Castle, Somerset ?? :-\
-
:no: sorry.............coloured flag flying high.. :-\
-
A high flying flag could be a banner and gate is part of Highgate.
Is it Banners Gate, Staffordshire ? :-\
-
:no: sorry
What flag did Marx help to keep flying high :hmm:
-
I've already looked for a place called Redflag, but couldn't find one, so discounted that .....now you have me rethinking that one and perhaps jiggling it about .... off to jiggle :)
-
>>> Redflag, <<< interesting.
Remember, is he buried here ;)
-
:hmm: :idea: :doh: Redgrave, Suffolk ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place.
Over to you............ :swoon:
-
::) I needed a lot of clues there TD ;D
Birthplace of the BBC ??
-
:hmm:
The first DG of the Beeb was Lord Reith.
Are we in Yorkshire...........Reeth :-\
-
Ooooooooooooo I knew you'd cotton on to that one TD ;D :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2:
-
Yay...woohooo... :D
Heres a Saturday Simples
Crossing for a shy, Scottish chimney
-
:hmm:
Coylumbridge in Inverness-shire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
No hesitation...gottum in one.. :D
Back to you.
-
Way-hay ;D
Next one then:
Logic and a place for watery creatures?
-
:help:
-
;)
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Here goes, fish + pond gives fishpond.
The nearest I can find is Fishponds, Gloucestershire. Is that the place we are looking for?
-
Sorry :no:
I believe that the mathematical study of sets can be of great value in solving logic problems...
(e.g. A AND C AND (NOT B) = green)
-
Look up 'sets'. You'll soon find a diagram similar to the above...
-
:idea:
Are we perchance in Devon............Venn Ottery :hmm:
-
We are indeed :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
(I was wondering if I was going to have to start giving maths classes ;D )
Over to you TD...
-
Way...woohooo... :D ........thank you Google. :thumbs:
(maths ... not my strong point...as you have noticed before.. ;D )
Okays...back to simpler clues.. ::)
legal wrong, a nasty one by the sound of it.
-
Legal wrong... :hmm:
Like a mixed up horse's gait, perhaps.. :)
-
:hmm:
I guess that the mixed-up horse's gait is trot --> tort
so could we be at Tortington in W Sussex?
-
:no: sorry
>>tort << ;)
Much further north...and nasty sounding.. :)
-
Nasty sounding, North mixed up.
Maybe it's Rottal, Angus ?
-
:no: sorry
Stay with tort.. ;)
-
Tortestone, Aberdeenshire ?
-
:no: sorry
Something nasty after tort.........
But my apologies..I misled when I said "much further north"........should be "much further south"...... :-[ I am sorry.......but will make amends by saying that this is an insular place.
-
I I go south from West Sussex I finish up in the sea. :'(
-
I've now been all over the Channel Islands as well. NO luck there.
-
There's Torteval in Guernsey, which might be read as tort-evil... :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay..........Torteval it is......and over to you.
(Sorry, made a bit of a mess of that one...must try harder.. :-[ )
-
Well done Roseway. That was quite evil enough.
-
Woo-hoo ;D
Next maths lesson coming up (not really :) )
A very easy one:
Owns properly maintained farm machinery
-
:hmm:
Are we near Durham..........Haswell Plough :-\
-
That took you all of four minutes, TD. ;D :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Wayhay..woohooo... :)
Wee simple one...I think this is right.. ???
gardening implement, by the sound of it.
-
It's not as simples as Rake,in West Sussex is it ? :-\
-
:-\ sorry........but it is as simple as that. Smaller than a rake. :)
-
Is it as simple and small as Trowell, Nottinghamshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum, ss44..wayhay
Back to you.. ;D
-
Way Hey! My brain is nearly working.
Another very simple one
A plank ?
-
Well ............in my Thesaurus ...one synonym for plank is deal ?? :'( .... SO, are we in Deal, Kent ? :-\
-
Whatever you are taking has sharpened your thinking. Well done :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you Scottiesmum.
-
Wheeeeey ! I'll take another powder ;D
Porkers leader !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Lancashire..........Boar's Head
-
:no: sorry TD .... perhaps more of a boss than a leader :'(
-
A boss could be higher than a boar so,
Higher Hogshead, Lancashire. :-\
-
sorry Colin ... can't describe the boss as a boar or a hog in this case :D ..........
............ he might have Italian connections though ;)
-
Are we in a place called Horwich, Lancashire?
This is the place of the Bolton Wanderers football club ground.
The nickname for the Bolton Wanderers is the Trotters.
I have no idea about the Italian connection though.
-
Sorry :no: >:D >:D
think of the 'boss' of an establishment ............
-
:o it's all gone quiet ..... perhaps the Italian connection has alarmed you ;) ;) ;)
-
I can't find anywhere by the name of Fabio Capello.
Now that's a boss with an Italian flavour. ;D
I have found a street called Managers Street near London. Is that it ?
-
;D
:no: ...sorry >:D
OK ............... don't forget "porker" then .. think of an Italian 'establishment' and the boss of the 'establishment' .... then join 'em up ;D
-
???
Struggling....would I be on the right track if suggesting that the organisation and the boss both originated in Sicily... :hmm:
-
;D si si !
-
Sorry but I don't see see.
-
Did you ever watch the Sopranos Colin ? ...and I don't mean the singers ;) Italian Organisation ... Big Boss !! He may have even been at University there ;) ;)
-
Ah! no I never watched that programme. Not a telly fan.
-
I suppose the boss must be a don, so we might be in Swindon, Wiltshire (or elsewhere) - Swine-don ? :-\ :no:
-
Eric you are SOOOOO close ... swine by another name .... you have found the correct boss :)
-
Well I'm back to boars and hogs and such.
I cannot find a Boardon, but I did find a Bordon in Hampshire and a Pigdon in Northumberland. So I'm going for Pigdon, Northumberland. :-\
-
HURRAH !!!! Alleluia !!!! :D PIGDON it is !!! near Morpeth ..... (I thought that was an easy peasy one :'( ) I'm quite exhausted now ;D over to you Colin .... :)
-
:swoon: They are all easy when you know the answer. I'll be back.
I'm back to give your brains a rest.
Sounds like that it shouldn't be here!
-
They are all easy when you know the answer. ;D >:D
-
A clue. Maybe there's one missing.
-
Halfway near Sheffield perhaps :-\
-
:no: Sorry, not even close.
If there might be one missing then there may have been a pair once.
-
That's why I thought of ' half ' ............. must think harder ;D
-
Just think of what comes in pairs.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Shropshire.........Handless :-\
-
Good guess but :no: , sorry.
Going back to the original clue it may mean there is one extra.
So think what else comes in pairs and often one goes missing.
I have noticed we have been to this place before. ;)
-
:idea:
Are we near Hereford...at Stocking :-\
-
Getting warmer, not there yet though.
-
There's Odstock in Wiltshire, that sound like odd sock .............. are we there ? :-\
-
Ooooo! we are getting closer, still not there yet though. >:D
-
Three red, four white = One ?
-
Hodsock in Notts perhaps? :-\
-
Well thought out Roseway. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Over to you.
-
Way-hay ;D
I'll be back...
-
Right then:
Environmental animal housing?
-
:hmm: ...Up here in TD country, a cowshed would be called a byer.
Are we near Durham.........Byers Green :-\
-
Sorry :no:
-
A pound is an housing for animals .... so .... Pound Green, Shropshire perhaps ?
-
Sorry again :no:
But you're both half right ;D
-
Maybe it's Barns Green, Sussex ?
-
:hmm:
Back in TD country... ;D ...farm buildings collectively may be a steading, or a stead.
Are we at Greenstead in Essex :-\
-
Not there yet, I'm afraid, although farms do come into it. You're looking for housing for a specific animal...
-
:idea:
Green Parlour, Somerset?
-
Sorry, no. Housing for a farm animal...
-
I thought a Pig Parlor was a farm animal housing , sorry.
-
Nothing to apologise for. :) I think 'pig parlor' may be a term used in the US, but over here...
-
:hmm:
Are we near Banff...........sheep may be housed in a sheep-fold..................Greenfold :-\
-
Sorry again :no: ;D
Have another look at my previous message... ;)
-
Could this be a shed for sheep, but with a spelling mistake.
Shepshed, Leicestershire ?
-
Sorry, no :)
Think about 'pig parlor' and what we might call it on this side of the pond...
-
???
Pigs like a good wallow in the mud so.......... :hmm: are we at Wallow Green in Gloucestershire :-\
-
I'm afraid not. :no:
When I was young, I once had a hordeolum in my eye...
-
So did I.............but it's not helping me much..... :swoon:
-
Maybe this is it Pigstye Green, Essex. :-\
-
Pigstye Green it is! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Easy, wasn't it? :oldman:
-
I don't know what took us so long. :D
I'll be back.
I'm back.
Here we go then.
A crafty direction.
-
Have you two guys been taking lessons from scottiesmum..... :D
:hmm: are we in Glamorgan ........Upper Boat :-\
-
;D Not taking lessons, taking notice though.
I see the reasoning in your incorrect guess. So it is a :no: Sorry.
-
:D
Northfleet, Kent perhapss ?
-
Sorry but :no:
I'm not looking for a compass point direction. ;)
-
Fleet Downs in Kent perhaps?
-
Afraid not. Sorry :no:
-
:hmm:
direction = way.
Maybe "crafty" means cunning, clever, arch rather than boaty things...
Are we in North London..........Archway...... :-\ ...........( :no: probably ;D )
-
oooooH! you are getting closer now TD.
>>Maybe "crafty" means cunning, clever, ;)
-
Are we Kent, at Sly Corner.. :hmm:
-
Think of the descriptions you are quoting which should bring you an animal. There, I have given you part of the answer.
-
:hmm:
Are we at Foxdown, in Hampshire :-\
-
Animal correct, wrong direction though. Sorry, not yet.
-
In that case.... ;D .........are we oop Yorkshire way...Foxup :hmm:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs: You've got it this time. I can't fox you guys :)
Over to you.
-
Wayhay........woohooo...... ;D .........foxy one indeed... ;)
ok
stamp or decal
-
Could we be at Seal, in Kent ? :-\
-
:no: sorry........go West :)
-
I went west and came across Sticker, Cornwall. Will that do?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, that will do nicely.. ;D
Back to you.
-
Yaaaa!
Now this is difficult.
Sounds like something the children used to dance round.
-
Could we be in Maple Cross, Herts?
-
:hmm:
Or could we be at Maypole, in Kent.. :-\
-
How did I miss that one? :-[
-
Sorry to both :no:
-
Is it the other one, then ? ;D
Mulberry, in Cornwall.... :hmm:
-
Sorry, not that one either. You are forgetting an important part of the clue.
-
:hmm: ...sounds like...
Ayrshire............Maybole perhaps.. :-\
-
It sounds like it to me as well. :thumbs: :clap: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you TD.
-
Yay...woowoo... :dance:
ok...simples
buck
-
Can it be as simple as Dollar, Clackmannanshire ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yes it can..........back to you.. ;D
-
Wow what a surprise.
See if this is as easy.
Quartz top.
-
:hmm:
Are we at Stone Head, in Yorkshire :-\
-
I'm afraid we're not, sorry.
-
There's Crystal Peaks in Sheffield... :no:
-
You are correct Roseway it's a :no:
Time for a further clue perhaps.
Tuftedduck was half right, but which half?
-
The head was tops for TD.
-
Still confused eh!
You can build castles with this quartz!
-
:idea:
Sandhead, in Wigtonshire... :hmm:
-
Yaaaa! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you TD.
-
Wayhay..woohooo... :dance:
ok
sound like PC pointers on factory looms
-
What sort of factory might contain a lot of looms... :hmm:
-
A weaving shed/mill, but I can't find a link to a cursor, mouse or anything else that is called a PC pointer.
-
>> mill << ;)
PC pointers (plural) usually called ? , then give that a cartoon pronounciation :)
-
:doh:
Millmeece, Staffordshire ::)
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place........back to you.
-
I just love those meeses to pieces......
Now then.
Sounds like diaphragm spasms.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Surrey ........Burpham :-\
-
Pardon you. :) Sorry :no: More sounds like.
-
It also sounds like something you would put your boiled chuckies in so you can dunk your soldiers. ;D
-
:hmm:
Bacup, in Lancs. :-\
-
I hate to think what you put your chuckies in!
Sorry :no: Getting there though.
-
>> cup << ;) ;)
-
I suppose that diaphragm spasms are hiccups, but I can't find a place whose name sounds like that...
-
Sorry maybe I was misleading you there.
Think about the other clues about boiled eggs and what you put them in. To eat them not boil them.
-
:help:
-
Oh Dear! Well I put my boiled egg in an eggcup to eat it. You need somewhere that sounds like eggcup.
-
Eccup near Leeds ? :-\
-
Yipee! It was quite easy wasn't it. :no:
Well done Scottiesmum :clap2: :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Well I only came in at the end of it all, and profited from everyone else's ideas ;D .............. I'll be back ... never fear >:D
-
OK - I've found one ... hope you can find it too ;D
An impish figure who is annoyed !
-
TD has wild stab in the dark...
:hmm: .......are we near Aberdeen...Elfhill... :-\ ... :no:
-
:no: TD
-
Well I suppose a fairy could be impish and it might be a bit cross.
Fairy Cross, Devon .............. Seems to fit that bill.
-
You've got it Colin :clap2: :clap2:
-
Yaaaa! I'm getting worried. The FM logic seems to be working for me.
I'll be back.
I'm back.
A fallen angels crossing perhaps.
-
Paradise Lost.
-
:hmm:
Are we near Penicuik ...........Milton Bridge :-\
-
Sorry :no: Think about one of the characters. Also written about in may scriptures. Once you have a name think of what he was.
-
Well ........... Beelzebub was a fallen angel ( I love that name !! ;D ) and a crossing could be a byway .... there's a Beelsby in Lincs. ... so that's my starter for 10 :D
-
:hmm:
Satan was a fallen angel, and can be called the devil.
Are we in Welsh Wales..........Devil's Bridge......... :-\
-
You started off so well Scottiesmum, but got lost somewhere after that.
TD sneaks in with the correct answer as I was typing. :clap: :thumbs: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you TD.
-
Hey Ho.... a devilish clue :D :clap2: TD :)
-
Wayhay...woohooo... :D
hokeydokey...Saturday Simples
Telephone pole
-
:hmm:
Dial Post in Sussex, perhaps?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That one didn't last long, did it? :D
Over to you.
-
Woo-hoo ;D
Right then:
Sounds as though someone is having a rest...
-
Well if they are just having a rest then they could be in Little Snoring, Norfolk.
But if they are sound asleep they could be in Great Snoring, Norfolk.
I can't find anywhere called Just Snoring though.
-
:)
Sorry, but snoring doesn't come into it.
-
That solves that then. ;D Back to thinking.
-
They could be idle and there is a place called Idle in Yorkshire. Is that it ?
-
Sorry, no, more than just idle...
-
:hmm:
Knapwell, in Cambridgeshire :-\
-
Sorry again :)
You might or might not be asleep while doing this...
-
Maybe Satwell, Oxfordshire ? :-\
-
Lower, lower... ;D
-
:hmm:
Sounds like lie down, perhaps..... :idea: Lydden, in Kent :-\
-
Very close now, but it sounds like the present participle...
-
TD tries again... ;D
Maybe sounds like lying down.......are we in Herefordshire, at Lyne Down :-\
-
Or maybe Laide, Ross-shire :-\
-
Sorry SS, TD has it - Lyne Down :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
-
Wayhay...woohoo........need a wee rest after that one.. ;D
This is a simples
haven for rum
-
I'm going to try a bit of SM logic here -
A haven could be a port.
Rum is made from molasses (raw sugar) and mead is made from honey, so they're rather similar, leading us to
Portmead in Glamorgan?
No, I didn't think so. ;D
-
:no: sorry
>>I'm going to try a bit of SM logic here << :-X
:D
-
Straight forward thinking here.
Grogport, Argyllshire.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay..the direct route is the best.. ;D
Back to you..

Har! Har! me hearties.
Hopefully this is easier than my last one.

-
A hole in one. :clap: :clap2: :clap:

Well a puzzling rhyme might be a riddle and pipes may mains pipes.
Which gives us Mainsriddle, Kirkcudbrightshire :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay.......he's done it again... :swoon:
Back to you.. :)
-
Wow, I'll be barred if I keep doing this. :'(
Before I do.
Khaki goes environmental.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Staffordshire.........Brown's Green :-\
-
Sorry, no we are not. However you are thinking on the right lines.
-
>>green<< ;)
-
Another colour like brown but more khaki.
Green :thumbdown: green :thumbs:
-
:idea:
Khaki could be describe as olive drab.....so are we in Staffordshire, at Olive Green :-\
-
:idea:
Sandgreen in Kirkcudbrightshire?
-
Roseway has it. Sandgreen it is. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you.

A nice easy one this time:

Stiffkey, Norfolk ?

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the one.
Back to you :)
-
Yaaaa!
The transverse piece has fallen off.
-
If you have a piece that is vertical and a piece that is horizontal and one piece falls off then the whole can said to be ?
-
:hmm:
Are we in Cheshire.........Broken Cross :-\
-
They should be more careful there. That's the place though. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap:
Back to you TD.

:doh:
Could we be at Staffin, Highland, by any chance?
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place......over to you.. :)
-
Phew! :silly:
We'd better have an easy one now:
DIY store?
-
I believe there is a DIY store chain in the UK called Wickes ... so could we be in Wick, in the Shetlands ?? :-\
-
Geographically speaking, almost as far away as you can get, but otherwise quite close... ;D
-
:idea:
Wix, Essex ?
-
Wix it is :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
Over to you...
-
Weeeee! Thanks to Scottiesmum.
OK then. (That's not the clue)
Sounds like the streets are made from timber cobbles.
-
Another name for cobbles (aka cobble stones) ;)
-
Timber could be called wood.
-
Still struggling ?
-
Hi
Woodstone village Just off the A1M. obvious but worth a try :)
Regards Jeff
-
You've got the Wood bit, now all we need is the name for cobblestones.
Good try Jeff.
-
Woodsetts, near Rotherham ? (They were called 'sets' in Lancashire as I recall ! :) )
-
As they are in Yorkshire. Well done Scottiesmum. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Do you remember they used to put wood ones down when the stone one got broken?
Over to you.
-
Do you remember they used to put wood ones down when the stone one got broken?
:o was that not in the days of Dick Turpin :lol: (No I don't remember Colin ..... I'm Dowager the younger don't forget :D )
Not a place for hellos !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Buckinghamshire...........Bye Green :-\
-
:no: sorry TD.
-
Could this be goodbye at Farewell, Staffordshire :bye:
-
You've got it Colin ! ..... Farewell it is ..... :clap2:
-
I don't like all these goodbye's. So it's hello and Yipee! ;D
I sound like I have a massive weight on my shoulders.
-
:hmm:

Massive, huge, giant, big?

Well done TD. Great Burdon it is.
Over to you.

Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:
ok
describes a moderators head ?
-
Dizzard in Cornwall >:D >:D >:D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ( I know that's not correct, but couldn't resist :angel:)
-
:lol:
Huh.!!
:no:
-
Distinguishing feature, perhaps. :)
-
The Gazetteer of British Place Names is broken so I'm out of the game until it's fixed. :(
-
>:D
-
Now, I'm wondering if that >:D is another clue :-\ if we are talking about Moderators on here it could be :lol: what about Devil's Bridge, in Wales ? ..... I know only one part of that fits in with the clue :D >:D
-
I suppose one of the distinguishing features of a moderator's head might be that his face is grey with all the worry, and there's a place called Grey Face in Shetland... :no:
-
@ scottiesmum .......... :lol: ............ :no:
@ roseway ............ :no:
You're all quackers... ;)
-
Is there a place called Tufted ?
There's a place called Tufted Duck Hotel in Aberdeen. Is that it.?
-
Moderators sometimes get cross, so how about Duck's Cross in Bedfordshire?
-
@ ss4 and roseway ............ :no: ......but ss44 is on the right track. :)
-
Well I have located a place named Tufton in Hampshire. Is that it?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's it.... ;D
Back to you
-
Ooweee! who needs the gazetteer when there's Google.
Sounds like this should be the golfers top assistant.
-
Could this be Woodstock, Oxon ? :-\
-
Sorry :no: It took me a while to work out where you got the answer. ;)
-
A golfer's assistant is a caddy, so how about
Cadishead in Salford?
-
Spot on there Roseway. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Ooh gosh ;D
Hokey dokey, a nice easy one:
The result of a nuclear war?
-
:hmm: ........Are we in Sussex.............Doomsday Green :-\
-
Sorry :no:
But you have the right scenario...
-
Darkland, Morayshire perhaps ? :-\
-
Sorry again :no:
More final than that...
-
Deadwater, Hampshire maybe ?
-
Much more final for everyone on earth...
-
Wipe Out, Sheffield ?
-
Wipe Out, Sheffield ?
What you want to wipe out Sheffield......... :o :D
That's a new place on me. ???
-
It'll be his local.... :drink:

-
It's a shopping centre. :lol:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
I'm on my way :lol:
-
:lol: :lol:

:lol:
Sorry, but it's not just going to wipe out Sheffield, it's going to wipe out the whole world ;)
-
:lol:
:idea: there are several World's End :hmm:
-
>>> World's End
That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :dance: :silly:
Over to you TD...
-
It's a shopping centre. :lol:
If you go to that part of Sheffield you will indeed end up wiped out :scare: :lol:
-
It'll be his local.... :drink:
:D
Not in that area........If you go into a pub in that area,they ask you to pick your window........ :lol:
-
Nah! they're all wusses around there. :'(
-
Nah! they're all wusses around there. :'(
Well believe me I'm not going to find out........... :lol:
You're welcome to try though Colin...........Its the Northern General that has the casualty dept. :lol:

annelid's large cast
-
Could we be at Wormshill in Kent ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Not only could we be....we are !!
Over to you. ;D
-
Oooooooooooo didn't expect that ;D wheeeeeeeeeeee!
OK ... a Saturday simples .....
A good yarn spun here.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Staffordshire............Upper Cotton :-\
-
:no: sorry TD
-
:hmm: Higher Tale, in Devon... :-\
-
:no: sorry TD >:D The fabric of your first reply was closer ;)
-
:hmm:
TD has yet another wild stab in the dark.....the famous yarn/thread/cotton makers for many years were J and P Coats.........whose main production unit was the Anchor Mills in Paisley.
So.......are we in Shropshire....at Anchor.. :-\
-
:no: sorry again TD ....... think more materially ;)
-
Could we be at Silksworth in Durham, by any chance?
-
:no: sorry Eric ... look for 'original' material !
-
:hmm:
Are we in Cornwall..........Mulberry :-\
-
Or are we in God's own county Yorkshire at a place called Flaxby?
-
Oooooooooooooo this is fun >:D :lol:
You're not doing your best on this one ;) ;)
-
I'm even more confused with that last clue.
Anyway I 'll have a go with Cotton Tree, Lancashire?
-
What is the opposite of best ?
-
That would be worst.
:idea:
Worstead, Norfolk. :-\
-
OUI !!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: the very one !!! ;D
-
:silly: That was a long thread!
As someone once said, 'I'll be back'.
-
I'm back!
A very easy one as I didn't have anything ready.
Sounds like a Frank Sinatra song.
Edit: Changed the clue.
-
Well, Francis Albert sang of New York, New York ..... and there's a New York in Lincolnshire ....so that's my first guess :-\ :-\
-
He did sing of New York, but there is a song that he is well more known for singing.
So sorry :no:
-
I have all his songs Colin !! I'll be back ;D ( I know that was Arnie and not Frank :lol: )
-
OOoooo just a thought .... probably his most famous was Fly me to the Moon ............... there's a Moonzie in Fife (would you believe !!) .....and I suppose if he slurred the word moon it could fit :lol: :'(
-
Ooooooh! you are missing the one I think of when anyone mentions Frank Sinatra.
I Know he tried to sing many, but the one I'm thinking of was he did it his way. ;)
-
Espionage. ;)
-
:hmm: sounds like......espionage...... :idea:
Spyway, in Dorset... :-\
-
Precisely, Frank Sinatra and My Way.
Well done TD :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Over to You.
-
Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:
ok
but this one does not go with tonic
-
>:D
-
Is there a place called Mother's Ruin? :no:
or will Juniper Green in Midlothian do?
-
:no: sorry
-
Another stab in the dark Gin Pits, Lancashire?
-
:no: sorry..........maybe the item we seek is not a liquid... ;)
-
If Tonic is the rock band then maybe we are looking for California?
-
:no: sorry............stay away from the demon drink.. ;)
-
This is enough to drive anybody to drink. :'(
OK We'll try Sober Hall, Yorkshire.
-
Well, now this is FL in full flood :D If we are to avoid the demon drink, we could be tea total :-\ There's a Tote Hill in Hampshire Tote Hill nearly total !!! ...... and Tote is nearly Tot (which could be a tot of whisky) and you wouldn't put tonic in whisky ...............
Now if that hasn't confused you nothing will :lol: I'm a expecting a "no" :D
PS.... like the new hat Colin ;D
-
@ ss44 :no: sorry
@ scottiesmum >>> Now if that hasn't confused you nothing will <<< :swoon:
:no:
A quick recap.....you have arrived at gin....now we need a non-liquid, non-alcoholic one. ;)
-
After much searching I have come up tada ................Trap, Carmarthenshire.
Trap being another definition of gin.
I raise my hat to the Dowager (thank you ma'm).
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum, ss44.........over to you.. ;D
-
Wow, thank you TD. Are you a professor in your spare time?
I can't match that one but here goes.
Is this structure built of articles?
-
Article without a name?
-
:hmm:
Could we be at Thingwall in the Wirral?
-
Yes we could and indeed we are. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you Roseway.
-
Way-hay ;D
Right then:
Bacon sits heavily in the stomach?
-
Well there was a person called Roger Bacon.
Now if we take Roger and add ton we get Rogerton.
Where the stomach comes in I don't know, but my guess is Rogerton, Lanarkshire?
-
Could we be in Bellingham, Northumberland ? .............. having regard to Belly Pork !! :'( :-\
-
:)
Sorry, no to both. :no:
It might help to think of dark skies...
-
Think of a word which describes dark skies, and also means heavy...
-
:idea:
Are we in Lincolnshire, at Leadenham :hmm:
-
We are indeed :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you, TD :)
-
Yay...woohooo.. ;D

-
Wayhay....woohooo... :dance:
hokeydokey.....simples again...
urban area belonging to one or two kitizens
-
I know of two forum regulars who live in Kent (Chrissie and me) so could we possibly be at Kentish Town?
-
:no: sorry
-
With the Yorskhire contingent in mind ;D .....could we be in Yorktown, Hants. ? York - Yorkshire Urban ... Town :-\
-
:no: sorry, again
-
Numbers 1 and 2 ....... ;)
-
I think I know where No.1 is but not No.2 or even No.2 is.
However are we at Blackpool Corner, Dorset.
-
:no: sorry
conamed kitizens, i and ii ;)
-
Well there's 2 Colin's So maybe it's Colindale, Middlesex ? :-\
-
:no: sorry............but getting very warm. There are two... ;)

-
Colinsburgh in Fife perhaps?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay....you gottum.
Back to you.. :silly:
-
Woo-hoo :dance:
A stream with willows
-
There's a Becontree in Essex, a beck is another name for a stream, and there are willow trees .... so that's my first offering ;D :-\
-
A brave start, but sadly not correct ;D
-
TD has a wild stab in the dark.. ;D
There is a variety of willow called White Willow.
Sooooo :hmm: .......are we in Monmouth, at Whitebrook :-\
-
Sorry, but you are half way there. Some flexibility is required... ;)
-
Well, if we are flexible with the word willow ... we could think 'wood' .... there is a Brookwood in Surrey ..... are we there perhaps ? (that's if I've chosen the correct half of TD's answer ;D)
-
You're getting there. :) The right approach, but it's more physical flexibility that I was thinking of...
-
If I remember correctly the longbow was made from willow so maybe
Bowbeck, Suffolk is what we are looking for. :-\
-
oooooooooooo that sounds good Colin :)
-
Sounds good, but not the answer unfortunately :)
Previous answers were half right. What's flexible and made from willow?
-
I'll try with Bowbrook, Shropshire ?
-
Very close, but :no:
Pollarding, thatching...
-
Flexible sticks of willow...
-
Ooooooooooo Eric this has been testing my grey matter ....... I've gone from straw, to reeds to wicker ...... but can't find anywhere that fits :'(.... perhaps this might help someone else ;D
-
Well I can't find one but is there a place called Wickerbrook?
-
Not as far as I know :)
...but you've got two more of the letters. ;)
The willow varieties which are particularly good for this are osiers... :wall:
-
Is Withybrook any good because there's two of them. One in Warwickshire and one in Somerset.
-
>>> Withybrook
That's the one (or two) :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
(For the benefit of those who need to know, a withy is a strong flexible stick cut from a pollarded tree, usually willow. Lesson over. ;D )
-
Hooray! That was difficult. An exceptionally good clue though.
I'll be back.
-
Here we go.
Sounds like a right old gang.
-
Bentley features prominently here.
-
Well, FL in full flow here ..... ;D ...... crew is a word for a gang (I think ) and Bentley Motors were/are ?? made in Crewe .... so I'll say Crewe ;D :-\
-
The FL logic came through this time. :clap: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Yippppeeeeeeeee! ;D
Paternal canine ? !
-
After much searching I have decided to have a wild guess at Penbeagle, Cornwall? ::)
-
:no: sorry Colin ..... >:D
-
:o no-one's solved it !!
Think of a paternal figure and a canine, join them up and voila !! ;D
-
Strange as it may seem that's just what I have been trying to do. :swoon:
-
Paternal might give you a huge clue !!! ;)
-
The only Bigdaddy I can find is in the Nederlands!
-
:hmm:
Are we in Welsh Wale, near Caernarvon........Padog :-\
-
ydy TD !!!! :D :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
-
Wayhay....wooohooo... :dance: :dance:
hokeys....easypeasy one
sounds like a paternal canine
-
Padog,Wales :-\ :lol: :lol:
-
:lol:
:no:
>:D
-
Well .... there is a dog called a Bedlington ..... I've found a place called Dadlington in Leicestershire ..... could that be it :-\ ?
-
:no: sorry.
may even be a paternal equine.. :)
-
If the maternal line is from a dam................... :hmm:
-
I'm busily looking for Sirehound ;D
-
I'm glad it's not this place ..................... Dogshit Park, Isla Vista, CA, United States
-
:o
-
We're maybe forgetting about the 'sounds like' part. So it could be cire..., sigher..., ceir... which all gets me precisely nowhere. :(
-
Thanks Eric :lol:
-
Don't forget the 6th. vowel :)
-
Are we talking about 'Y' as the sixth vowel as in Syre in Sutherland?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yes we are......
Back to you.. ;D
-
Oooooo! that was sneaky! >:D
OK a nice easy one after that.
Sounds like it looks after the small fry.
-
Mummyfish in Fantasyshire? ::)
-
:lol: .........listen, Syre is even bigger than Hungladder ! :D
:hmm: Fishguard :-\
-
I like that one Roseway, but I must give it to Tuftedduck.
Back to you TD ???
-
:lol: .........listen, Syre is even bigger than Hungladder ! :D
But has it got a young Dowager ? :lol:
-
@ scottiesmum... :D
Wayhay............wooohooo... :hmm:
okeydokey...Saturday Simples...
drink waters at a tea party
-
:idea:
Tea party = Boston, Water = spa.
Boston Spa, Yorkshire ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay, that's the place.
Hands baton back to ss44.. ;D
-
Way Hey hey! to you, to me.
Another easy one, well maybe.
Mind you don't catch a cold here.
-
Maybe I should have said
mind you don't catch a slight cold.
-
:hmm:
Could we be in A' Chill in Argyllshire?
-
:hmm:
Or in Devon, at Chillington :-\
-
Yo! Roseway gets it this time. A' Chill it is. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Way-hay ;D
Sounds like a female jailer (or perhaps I should say gaoler)
-
There's a place called Miserden near Stroud ..... so .......... ;D Mis ..as in Miss ... and erden as in 'er den :lol: am I close ?
-
>> am I close ?
No. ;D
-
I suppose you would call a female gaoler/jailer maam.
Seeing as I can't find anywhere close to that will Mamhilad, Monmouthshire do ? :no:
-
Sorry :no:
It's much simpler than either suggestion so far. You might need to search underground...
-
Ahah! a dungeon is usually underground and a female who looks after such a place might be an 'ess.
That leads me to Dungeness, Kent. :fingers:
-
>>> Dungeness, Kent.
That's the one! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs: :silly:
Over to you...
-
Way Hay! I dug that one out nicely.
Now then
Sounds like sweet neck ware.
-
Men's wear?
-
How about Honey Tye in Suffolk?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
How about that. Well done.
Over to you Roseway.
-
Ooh gosh! :graduate:
Next one coming up:
spicy meat tenderiser
-
:hmm:
Oi thinkz weez iz in Zummerzet wit thizun.............Curry Mallet :-\
-
Got it in one (despite the accent) ;D :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over you TD...
-
Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:
hokeys...
patron saint of dentists perhaps
-
A wild guess at ......................St. Fillans, Perthshire. :-\
-
:no: good idea, but...........sorry
-
Another stab in the dark with ......................Saintbridge, Gloucestershire?
-
:no: sorry
-
Is there a Saint Apollonia in the UK ? ;D
-
Like St. Upullamyleg?
-
:lol:
What do dentists operate on..? :-\
-
Patients :lol:
-
:lol:
-
North Cornwall is very attractive... ;)
-
:hmm:
:idea:
St. Teath?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place........back to you.
-
:doh:
-
Woo-hoo ;D
I'll be back tomorrow morning...
-
I'm back..
Here's one for you operatic buffs:
Siegfried's crossing
-
:hmm:
Siegfried departed this mortal coil and sped off to Valhalla on the back of a swan...IIRC.......so
are we near Glamorgan, Swan Bridge :-\
I remember a performance at the Royal Opera House when the swan failed to appear on stage at the right time.....Siegfried stepped to the front of the stage and shouted at the audience..."Has anybody seen the last swan to Valhalla" ;D
-
:lol:
Your logic is impeccable, but sorry :no:
-
:hmm:
TD tries again.........Siegfried leads me to the Ring Cycle........are we near Castle Douglas......Ringford :-\
-
Oooo I think you've got it TD :) I was just looking at the Ring Cycle too, came back to double check the clue and you've posted :)
-
More impeccable logic, but again, sorry :no:
An unusually coloured fish might help...
-
... a red herring ...
-
I've moved from opera to poetry now ;D
-
:thumbs:
Cecil Alexander...
-
One of the well-known verses written by Cecil Alexander is "All things bright and beautiful". ;)
-
We used to sing that at primary school. :o
-
:hmm:
........."All Creatures Great and Small"...........fictional vets, one of whom is named Siegfried (Farnon).......books written by Alfred White......
Are we near Loch Ness...........Whitebridge :-\
-
You're very nearly there, with the right Siegfried. Other end of the country though...
-
This is a good complex clue... :)
TD tries again..........Siegfried Farnon was played on the goggle by Robert Hardy.
Are we in Sussex..........Robertsbridge :-\
-
Oooooooo I'm enjoying this ... totally lost but enjoying it ;D
-
>>> Robertsbridge
That's the place :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
(I'm pleased you enjoyed it ;D )
Over to you TD....
-
Well done TD :clap2: :clap2: ... what a super clue !
-
Wayhay.....woohooo..... :dance:
Goodun... ;D
ok..simples, to let the brain settle down
bob's depressed brother
-
Well .... assuming Bob's brother is called Tom ..... could we be in Down Thomas, Devon ? :-\ ...................... or is the fact that bob hasn't got a capital letter significant I wonder :hmm:
-
>>>>> Down Thomas, Devon <<<<< :no:
>> or is the fact that bob hasn't got a capital letter significant I wonder <<< :-X
>:D
-
That's a yes then :lol:
-
:lol:
( It should have a capital, sorry. :-[ )
-
Who's Bob and more to the point who's this Tom? ???
The only bob I know is a shilling or was 'till we went for this decimal stuff.
-
:lol:
( It should have a capital, sorry. :-[ )
Thank goodness for that ..... :lol: I was thinking of tanner ( sixpence) then realised that would be bob's offspring :D
-
Who's Bob and more to the point who's this Tom? ???
The only bob I know is a shilling or was 'till we went for this decimal stuff.
I don't know who Tom is either....it was because he was down that I chose him :D
I think this might be a Scottish 'Bob' :hmm:
-
Have a wee reread at the last clue.... ;) .............scottiesmum's first idea was close. :)
-
Seeing as I haven't a clue except Scottiesmum's first guess here is mine.
Tomlow, Warwickshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum....
Back to you... ;D
-
And that's without knowing a thing about the clue. :swoon: :lol:
OK then
Easy Peasy.
Expired swine.
-
:hmm:
Are we in John Constable country.........Dedham :-\
-
Dead right we are. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Woohooo...wayhay.... :dance:
hokeydokey...simples
keep going up
-
:idea:
Are we in Rise, Yorkshire?
-
:no: sorry, but rise is interesting.. :)
-
Could 'keep' refer to the central structure of a castle perhaps? So I'll make a stab at
Castle Rising in Norfolk?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place.......over to you.
-
Very clever Roseway, well done.
-
Way-hay ;D
A Saturday simples then:
Henry isn't as young as he was
-
Henry might be Henry Ford :-\ there's an Oldford in Somerset .... which might make sense ? :-\
-
It's not that Henry with a hole in his bucket then? :crazy:
-
Sorry, wrong Henry in both cases. ;D
-
:hmm:
Are we in Montgomeryshire ..........Old Hall :-\
-
Sorry again :)
I'm thinking of the number 4...
-
If we are talking about Henry lV then maybe we are in Old Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire. :-\
-
>>> Old Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire
That's the place! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Oooweee!
Let's see how long this lasts then.
This place could be described as a mating manual (as in book).
-
Maybe it belongs in Tips & Tutorials, in a thread on :love:
-
Could we be in Hugus, Cornwall ? :-\
-
Sorry :no:
What can :love: lead to?
-
:-X
-
:o :lol: :lol:
I'll keep looking ;D
-
I've found Childery in Oxfordshire .... perhaps ? :-\
-
Oooooo! :o We haven't got that far yet. :lol:
The manual gives instructions.
-
:lol:
-
:lol:
:idea:
Are we in the North Riding of Yorkshire...........Sexhow :-\
-
You've got it TD, we need a guide to tell us how. :lol:
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Wayhay...wooohooooooo...........TD can just about remember that... :D
ok..simples
rise built on credit
-
There's a Hillborough in Kent, which could sound like Hill borrow ..... could that be it ? :-\
-
:no: sorry
-
I found Castleloan in West Lothian. Is this the place?
-
:no: sorry.
Borrow, HP, never-never............... :hmm:
-
Well there is always the tick as it was called so..........Tickhill, Yorkshire would probably fit.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...Tickhill it is.......back to you.. :)
-
I've been looking at that from the start but thought it was too easy. :lol:
You will not lose passing through here.
-
There's a Wingate in Durham .... and you could be passing through a gate ...... :-\
-
And we have a winner! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:
Over to you Scottiesmum.
-
WooooooooooooWeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ;D
I think I'll go a bit cryptic on this one >:D
Part of a wealthy common place with a French voice !
-
Wealth could be money, and a common place could be a village green, which makes me think of Moneyrow Green in Berkshire. But I can't see the French voice there... :-\
-
Well a park is a common place, Savile Row is said to be for the wealthy and sounds a bit French.
So I'm going for (Puts on my best french accent) Savile Park, Yorkshire?
-
:no: Sorry to both ......
If you look at 'wealthy' I purposely put the wealth bit in bold letters ...... ;) don't forget this is cryptic ..... and perhaps not just common ;) ;) ....then you might just get the French connection ! :fingers:
-
:hmm:
Cryptic indeed... :swoon:
TD tries a long shot......wealth=fortune=good luck.........Luck........lucky in a French accent could be spelt lucker (lucké ).........sooooo, are we in Northumberland, at Lucker :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ..... but I love the French accent ;D
OK, I'll try and help a little more :angel:
.....
perhaps you are looking at the clue the wrong way around !! find the wealthy common place ..... ;) ;) then look for the French tongue !
-
:hmm: ........tries again :D
wealth = rich. Common meaning world wide.....world...la monde
Richmond :-\
-
:no: sorry again TD ......
OK .... ignore the meaning of wealth as in riches ..... look at it in common with a collection of others ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) Once you've found yourself in that state ..... look for somewhere you'd hear French ................... then look closer to home for the place we're looking for ...... Why Aye Man it's simples >:D
-
Here goes another one.
Street is common as there are lots. Not sure where the wealth comes in.
Your attempt to steer us towards Geordie Land and the French bit leads me to something like ......................Chester-le-street, Durham? :-\
-
Let's see now: Cameroon is in the Commonwealth, and most people speak French there. So could we be at
Cameron in Fife?
-
Sorry :no: to both ... BUT ..... Colin you have the correct County ....
Eric, bang on with the Commonwealth link .... but a much larger member with a definite French connection !
-
Are we in the place where they hang monkeys as French spies?
The le in Hartlepool could be a bit French..................Hartlepool, Durham :-\
-
A change of mind here. A large commonwealth French speaking Country is Canada.
Canada has a place called Washington and so does Durham.
Are we in Washington, County Durham?
-
:o :o :no: to Hartlepool ....
:no: to Washington, BUT .... you are so on the right track ... look again at Canada .... find a predominantly French speaking province ...... then voila ! look closer in Durham .... it's small; bit it's there ;D
-
Quebec, Durham :fingers:
P.S. a cat named Scotty gave me that one. :lol:
-
Allelluia for Scotty the Cat :D wheeeeeeeeeey ...... you've got it ! easy peasy wasn't it !! :angel:
-
Oh a piece of cake really wasn't it? :swoon: That sure was a cryptic clue :flamer:
A nice easy one now.
The place to go when you have been naughty.
-
Is there a place called Ensea? ;D
-
??? Not that I know of.
Maybe I should say this would be the place you are taken to if you have been naughty.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Kent...The Corner :-\
-
Shame there isn't a naughty corner. Sorry TD :no:
-
>> naughty corner
... otherwise known as Ensea ;D
-
:doh: of course. I'll :sleep:
-
You will have to beware there isn't a bull when you arrive at this place of punishment ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we Suffolk.........Ringshall Stocks :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Look for what might be punishment and put it before where you might find a bull ;)
If FM logic can confuse you so can I. ;D
-
It's a bit of a belter is this isn't it? ;)
-
Are we at Catfield in Norfolk ? ....... Cat as in cat o- nine tails .... which you would 'belt' people with as a punishment ..... and you'd find a bull in a field ! I'm using my FL :D
-
The field is spot on, however your whip is not. Sorry.
Your logic is working well there, you just need the belt now.
Sorry I didn't mean you need a belt.
-
:hmm:
Put bull and belt together and TD thinks of Belted Galloway cattle.......are we in Cumbria, at Gallows Field :-\
-
Oh no sorry you are going away from the answer there TD.
Follow the FM logic and stay with >> field <<
Bull was just to get you in the field if you know what I mean.
You are looking for another term for belt, whip, lather.
When you hit a ball with a bat you give it right good .......?
-
Is there a Wallopfield hidden away somewhere in the UK :-\
-
:no: Sorry, but you're getting close.
-
Threshfield, N.Yorkshire perhaps ? to Thresh is to Thrash !
-
You really are struggling with this.
Sorry :no:
You seem to be skirting round the term we are looking for.
Wallop was the nearest you have been.
Think of the bat & ball again. I'm sure it's not just a Yorkshire saying.
We are back in Durham again.
-
:hmm:
Wackerfield :-\
-
Yipeee! well done Tuftedduck. :clap: :thumbs: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Ooooooooooo well done TD :clap2: :clap2: I hadn't got around to whacking 'em yet ;D
-
Wayhay...woohooo.......phew.... :dance:
ok....easypeasy one to let the brain cool down.. :D
Sounds as if she of the regal legs is a flue follower
-
Well ... I'm going to make hard work of this one ........ I can feel it :D
She of regal legs is possibly Anne ? :-\ (as in Queen Anne ) .... I've found an Anelog in Wales, ..... log, fire, flue :'(
:'( :'( ooo I've just noticed, a flue follower ...that rather changed things
-
>>>Anne <<< :).......sounds like.
>>> fire, flue << ......interesting ;)
-
I had another one ready :D ....
Venton, Devon ........ flue, vent ... on ..... sounds like Anne :-\ ?
-
:no: sorry.......... >:D
-
:lol: :lol:
-
Well if you say Ivy Chimneys fast it could sound like Anne Chimneys.
There is an Ivy Chimneys in Essex. There I said it an Ivy Chimneys.
-
Sorry ........ :no:
>:D >:D
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Quick recap.......... :)
You have Anne........it sounds like
You are fishing around ok with flue/chimney.......but with a regional dialect and then sounds like.
You need "follower" ....sounds like.
There...see, easypeasy.. ;)
-
I'm glad this was an easy one. ;D
Still thinking...
-
:hmm:
follower...adherent, supporter, admirer, unkyUb....(sounds like) :-\
-
Got a mention........things are looking up ;D
follower...adherent, supporter, admirer, unkyUb.
Fan?..............I'll leave you too it. ;D
-
>>> Got a mention........things are looking up <<< :thumbs:
Fan ;) (sounds like) :)
-
A quick recap........to put the three elements into correct order... :thumbs:
1) Regional (Scottish) chimney
2) Fan ( sounds like )
3) Anne ( sounds like)
It's going to be chilly up round Aberdeen way this week. :)
-
:hmm: :idea:
A Scottish chimney is a lum so...
Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay....you gottum....over to you. ;D
-
Ooooooooooooo I'm glad you translated that one Eric ;D :clap2: :clap2: ............... what a very clever clue TD .... I'm definitely ignoring your 'easy peasy' suffix from now on :D
-
Phew! That one taxed the little grey cells. ;D
And it was Kate who decoded the 'Anne' part.
We'd better have a really easy one now:
Would you find a shoe repairer in this unique road?
-
:hmm:
Shoe repairer may put on new soles......... :idea: sole = unique
Are we in Kent...Sole Street... :-\
-
You're just too smart, TD. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :silly:
Back to you... :'(
-
Wayhay...woohooo.... :dance:
okays, this is really easypeasy
musical maritime conveyance
-
Could this possibly be Fiddler's Ferry in Lancashire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Not only could it be....it is.. ;D
Over to you.
-
Way-hay, now we're cooking with gas ;D
False environmental person
-
:hmm:
Are we in Surrey.......Shamley Green :-\
-
Sorry :no:
... but you've made some progress
-
There are a few places called Lyegreen in the UK, I shall choose the one in Bucks.... is that where we are ? :-\
-
Sorry again :no: >:D
TD's offering was closer...
-
You need a slang word for 'person'...
-
:hmm: :idea:
Are we near Hastings..........Bodsham Green :-\
-
That looks promising!
-
Very promising indeed, quite correct in fact. ;D :thumbs:
Over to you, TD...
-
Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:
hokeydokey
Proof it is mightier than the sword
-
What may be mightier than the sword....?... :hmm:
-
The author Edward Bulwer-Lytton writes in a play that the pen is mightier than the sword.
But finding the proof of the fact is a bit harder.
-
>> pen << ;)
What might a sword do :hmm:
-
>>> What might a sword do
I shudder to think. :o
It might behead somebody. Is there a place called Penby Head by any chance? ;D
-
:D
:no: sorry........even if such a place exists... ;D However, if you behead someone, you would...... :-\
-
I've been looking for this and must have passed it by.
Penkill, Ayershire? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yippeeeee...yay thats the place..
Over to you.
-
Way hay hay!
Is this where the big boys hang out?
-
:hmm:
big boys = men
Men may hang out at a street corner....
Are we in Berkshire.............Amen Corner... :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Not so much as street corners and more masculine.
-
:hmm:
Manley Park, in Lancashire :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:
That's the place TD. I thought Scottiesmum would had that one in a breath.
Over to you.
-
Woohoo...wayhay... :dance:
ok....Sunday Simples
continue counting
-
If you need to carry on counting there's a place called More in Shropshire. Will that do?
-
:no: sorry
-
Well I can only think of Addingham, Yorkshire :-\
You see Addingham sounds like adding them. ;D
-
:no: sorry.
Good guess :D
A more crude form of count up.
-
Another way of counting is to tote, are we in Tote, Inverness-shire?
Corrected a small mistake.
-
:no: sorry, but you could tot up something... ;)
-
How about totting up the domino score as in
Totscore, Inverness-shire?
-
:no: sorry.........continue to tot ;)
-
Continue could be ........................ Higher Totnell, Dorset maybe?
-
:no: sorry again.
A look round Robin Hood country may help.. :)
-
:idea: With your help of course.
Toton, Nottinghamshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum..
Back to you.. ;D
-
I went round the houses a bit for that one.
OK then,
Sounds like Stupid forest!
Extra clue:
-
Thickwood in Wiltshire perhaps? :-\
-
Sorry :no:
You're on the right lines there Roseway. >> wood << ;)
-
:hmm:
Thinks back to old TV sitcoms...........Frank Spencer wasn't very bright....
Spencers Wood, in Berkshire... :-\
-
Not there yet sorry :no:
However Spencer could be called one.
-
I hope Waltergmw doesn't get upset at the answer?
-
:hmm:
Walter = pigeon ? ......... stupid = bird brain......are we in Gloucestershire, Birdwood... :-\
-
I don't think Walter could be called bird brained. But I like your style.
:no: Afraid not.
-
:hmm:
Waltergmw connection....
A sheep is not very bright.......thinks ewe
Hurst is derived from hyrst meaning a wooded hill.....
Are we in Surrey....Ewhurst ....... :-\
-
Oh Dear! I must have lead you in the wrong direction. The answer is not connected to Walter as such.
Think of the sounds like and wood is correct.
-
This is all about a fool and wood. ;)
-
:hmm:
TD tries anotrher wild stan in the dark ;D
Walter = wally
stupid =wally
sounds like... :idea: .........Warley Woods in Worcestershire.. :-\
-
Oooooooh! getting very close now, but not close enough. :no:
Definitely on the right track.
-
I'm back.... :D
:idea: ............Walliswood in Surrey .......... :hmm:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2: That's the one.
Over to you.
-
Wayhay..........woohoooo... :dance:
hokeydokey..
no sign of this for unkyUb
-
Is that Thaw, in the vale of Glamorgan, perhaps :-\ ?
-
:no: sorry.....but right sort of idea :)
-
Melton, East Riding ? that's my next guess ;D
-
:no: sorry.
What does unkyUb have lots of at the moment ;)
-
Could that be Snowdown, Kent?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay....you gottum.
Back to you.. ;D
-
Way Hey Hey! I have got plenty of it now.
Right then.
Excessive violent retaliation.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Hampshire............Over Wallop :-\
-
:clap2: :clap: :thumbs: Well Done. Straight in with that one.
Back to you.
-
yay..woohooo... ;D
ok
put the nib into the writing fluid
-
Would that be Inkpen, Berkshire?
-
:no: sorry.
You have the right implement and the right fluid..........we need the act of getting them together.. ;D
-
Maybe I should Dippen in Buteshire.............................Guess.
Although it would write better with ink. :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You certainly can...baton passed back to you.
-
Like the Chuckle Brothers at the moment. To you, to me, to you.
Here we go then.
Male, five years and older gets you the name of this place.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Glamorgan.........Boys Village :-\
-
:no: Sorry
This is nothing to do with human beings. Now that is a big clue.
-
:hmm: I'm looking at stallion ... so my start for 10 ;D is Stallen, in Dorset
-
Sorry :no: It is an animal with four legs I'll give you that, but not equine. >:D
-
:hmm:
Are we near Carmarthen..........Ram :-\
-
Sorry :no: A little bit bigger than a ram, although it might do.
I really have got you all with this one.
-
:idea:
Are we in Bedfordshire..........Stagsden :hmm:
-
ooooooooh! getting closer, not there yet though. Sorry.
>> stag << interesting.
-

A cran is an unofficial Scottish (?) term for a barrel full of herring, which might be about 750 fish.

There's a place called Yonder Ridge in Devon... :-\
-
:no: sorry
-
I suppose you could call a niche a shelf, if so ..........................Asknish in Argyllshire ..........might be the place?
-
:no: sorry >:D
-
There's always ................... Combridge, Staffordshire?
That sounds like inviting a shelf :-\
-
:no: sorry.............but Com is interesting if you change the vowel... ;)
-
Aha!
That maybe Cumledge, Berwickshire. :-\

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place..
Over to you. ;D
-

Ooohweeee. I'm getting the idea.
Very easy this one.

-
:hmm: ........a choice between outer garments, such as a coat versus swaddling clothes.... :-\
:idea:
Swadlincote, in Derbyshire ........... :)

Sorry :no: however coat is somewhat interesting :-\

OK then:
Jack's in an elevated position
-
There's a place called Hill, in Warwickshire ..... and Jack did go up one ;D ? :-\
-
;D
Good answer, but sorry :no:
-
Jack ....... :hmm: ...........jack tar = sailor.......
elevated position = lookout post...?
:idea: Crow's Nest, in Cornwall :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Jack is a person's name...
-
How about Little Jack? He may have had ................... Horner, Somerset ...............................named after him. That would give him a lift.
-
Sorry again :no:
I realise that there are quite a lot of Jacks, but this one is a real person who used to be quite well known...
-
A well known Jack was Jackie Charlton so are we at
Charlton on the Hill, Dorset?
-
Very nearly there, but it's not the right Jack. This one is (or was) an actor, although there was a lesser known footballer of the same name...
-
:hmm:
Hawkin's Hill, in Essex :-\
-
>>> H :thumbs:
>>> awkins :thumbdown:
;D
-
Jack Hedley was an actor and footballer so.....
Hedley on the Hill, Northumberland. :-\

this is a mad thread, only just found it :(
If anyone's still playing, I'm from a place to beat the meat (and no, it's not rude ;) )

That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
(@GunJack: we would be delighted to have you join in, but the way it works is that the one who solves the clue is the next one to pose a new clue :) )
-
@ roseway.... that rules me out then, my geography's not up to much :(
-
Come on in, GunJack..........no need for a knowledge of geography....just a good roadmap and an ability to make silly clues... :D
-
Welcome Gunjack, solve this before anyone else and you can re-enter yours.
Scottiesmum will have this in a flash, no that's not the clue.
Catch a male before this village.
-
Think of a man in the middle. ;)
-
:help:
-
Ooooooh! dear, sorry I forgot it was my clue you were trying to solve. :-[
Think of a slang term for catch and put it with the last clue I left.
-
Is there a place called Pullman ?? ;D
-
There may be, but it would be wrong. Sorry :no:
Send for the police!!!
-
:o You're not on the roof again are you Colin :lol: :lol:
-
ahem !! ;D back to the serious stuff ......
you said slang for catch ... the 'dreadful' pull didn't work ... what about hook ?
-
:lol: :lol:
You've been working too hard Kate. ??? Slang term for a policeman.
-
Rhymes with pop.
-
:idea:
catch = cop
male = man
village = thorpe
Copmanthorpe in the West Riding :-\
-
Well worked out TD. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Cop & Man I thought Scottiesmum would have found that. :)

Sorry :no: , but ton is very interesting.
-
:hmm:
Histon, in Cambridgeshire :-\
-
Sorry TD :no: , you're working hard on this one. Stay with the 'ton', you've got that bit right.
-
The shortened version of a very famous kings name made this sound. ;)
-
An Egyptian King at that!

Come on now, it's only four letters..

Ooooooooooops ::) :-[ sorry Colin .... I've been whizzing in and out of the snug all morning ....and just remembered this ..... now you are getting very warm ;D you've found the white stuff but the ending is more what it does that where it is :) Eric is a lot nearer - even though he hasn't entered an answer ;)
-
Don't worry I know you have been busy.
That must be Snowdown in Kent.

Whey hey !! :clap: :clap2: you got it !! :)

-
Warm (although not geographically). Don't forget the 'play place'... ;)
-
There's an Elvington Park near York, would that be it ?
-
Sorry :no:
The play place might also be a study or a snug...
-
A study/snug/play place might b e a den so we now have
Elveden, Thetford ? :-\

That's the one! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...

Way Hey!

magnetic may mean pull
bovine could be ox
The nearest I can find is Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire?
-
>> bovine could be ox ;)
>>magnetic may mean pull :no:
>> Pulloxhill :no: sorry.
Navigators may help.. :)
-
Chinese navigators... :hmm:
-
Well ......... my FL is in full flow :D
Could we be at Pollok .... Glasgow ? Poll - having reference to Pole .... magnetic .... and ock .. nearly Ox ?? and then there's Pollux which has the astronomy connection, but not sure if the Chinese navigators had anything to do with Pollux ? !! .................. or am I in my wild realms of FL :D
-
:swoon: .........she's back with the FL.... :scare:
>>>Pollock.... :no: ...........( I think that was your idea... ??? ..... :D )
Old Chinese navigators... :)
Pollux........ :lol: ........... :no:
-
I take it I'm wrong :lol: ( off to the hospital now ... I'll think about it all the way there :D )
-
:lol:
Old Chinese pre-compass navigators :)
-
Are we at Starveall, Glos. ?? stars would-be used for navigation ...and veal is bovine :-\
PS .... IF the Chinese were connected to Pollux, it would be Porrux :lol:
-
:lol:
:-\
Old Chinese navigators used a magnetic stone... ;)
-
:fingers:
Oxlode, Cambridgeshire ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's it............see, easypeasy... ;D
Back to you..
-
:swoon: I'm glad it wasn't difficult :D
This one is easy.
Just a bit extra.

:hmm:
extra = extra piece = bolt on piece...
Little Bolton, in Lancashire... :-\
-
Good thinking but :no: sorry not this time.
-
Are we in Moor, Somerset ? Moor is more in Yorkshire :lol:

Whether it's Moor or More it's still wrong, sorry.
-
OK ..... another thought .... Over, Glos. ? :-\
-
Another good idea, the wrong one though, sorry.
-
>> more << is interesting.
-
Just a tidgey bit more. ;)
-
Could this be Littlemore in Oxfordshire perhaps?
-
Yes it could and it certainly is. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.
-
Ooh, gollygosh ;D
Right then:
It sounds as though she's having a paddle...
-

-
That could be .............. Whipton, Devon ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You gottum...........back to you.
-
Yay!
OK.
Increase in acreage.
-
Are we in Moorland, Somerset ? :-\ (Yorkshire accent necessary ;D)

If 'ta were a Yorkshire lass it would Mowerland.
It's incorrect anyroads. Sorry :no:
-
I thought someone would have had a field day with this one. ;)
-
Meadowfoot , Ayrshire ? :-\
-
Oh dear, :no: you have gone cold altogether.
I thought someone would have had a field day with this one. :)
-
:hmm:
Upton Field, in Notts. :-\
-
Getting warmer. Not there yet though.
>> field << is correct.
Now you need to increase by way of an additional field.
-
:(
There is a Morefield near Ullapool.........could that be the place.. :hmm:
-
Sorry :no:
If you have one of something and increase by another you will ? one more.
-
I've found a Doublehill and a Doublebois .... so I'm wondering if there's a Doublefield somewhere :'( :-\
-
Not that I know of.
Perhaps if I said if you 2 or 3 more and added another one you will ? another.
-
It rhymes with pain.
-
:doh:
:idea:
Gainfield, in Oxfordshire :hmm:
-
Yaaaaa! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you TD
-
Wayhay........... :dance: ............phew ;D
ok
embrace an entry
-
An entry could be a gate.
To embrace could be to hold.
Are we at Holdgate, Shropshire ?
-
:no: sorry
gate ;)
hold :( .........unless an affectionate hold.. :)
-
A bit more affectionate then
Huggate, Yorkshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place..
Back to you.
-
Oooowee!
A nice easy one.
Sounds like a Scottish church named after a cat?
-
Rather obvious name for a male feline? Not Tom.
-
:hmm:
Thinks.......was there not a cartoon cat called Oswald ? ..sooo........are we at Kirkoswald ....tere is one in Ayrshire and one in Cumbria.. :-\
-
There was a cat named Oswald, though that is not the name I am thinking of. Sorry :no:
This cat is so well known he is seen on the telly. :)
>> kirk << :thumbs: as I'm sure you would know. :)

Hooray! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you TD.

Oooo well done TD :clap2: .....
-
Wayhay....woohoo............ :dance:
ok
headless bovine
-
Bankrupt as well.. ;)
-
headless and bankrupt = without capital, perhaps.. :)
-
Well ..... to bankrupt can be to cow ..... a headless bovine could be OW ..... and to be a bankrupt could be to owe .... so ... are we in Ower, Hampshire ??
FL in overdrive here ;D :-\
-
>>>FL in overdrive here <<< ........... :swoon:
sorry, :no:
-
A bit of a wild guess here. Without capital one would be broke.
So I guess at Brokes, Yorkshires? :-\
-
:no: sorry
It's the bovine that is without head or capital.....a young male bovine.. ;)
-
Aaaah! Maybe that is Ullock, Cumberland.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
yay...that's it..
Over to you.
-
Oooowee!
This place sounds like it should be in Wales.

Welsh End, Shropshire ?
-
Sorry :no:
It sounds like an Emblem for Wales really.
-
:idea:
Leek, in Staffordshire :hmm:
-
Sorry :no:
-
What about Dragonby, Lincs ? :-\
-
Sorry :no:
I can't give any more clues without giving you the answer.

back to you TD.
-
Wayhay...woohooo... ;D
ok
thoroughfare to the orient
-
The road east ;)
-
The road east should lead to the silk capital of China.
Could this be Silk Street in the City of London?
-
:no: sorry
>:D
-
I'm wondering (in my FL way ;D) if this has a football connection The Orient could be Leyton Orient which is based in the East end of London SO could we be at Layton in Lancashire ?? :-\ (I did warn you it's my FL :D)
-
>>> I did warn you it's my FL <<< :scare:
:no: sorry.
Both answers too complex......just think of the road east ;)
-
East Lane in Middlesex perhaps? :-\
-
:no: sorry
A wander near Northampton may help.. :)
-
Well your last clue rules out Eastgate, Durham
And Eastgate, Norfolk.
So it could be Eastgate, Northamptonshire ?
-
:no: sorry
road e may help. :)
-
Do you mean Roade, Northamptonshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
I certainly do...that's the place.
Over to you.. ;D
-
Well I never. Back shortly.
I'm back with a very easy one.
Baby talk?
-
Babell, Flintshire as in babble ? :-\

Sorry :no:

You might need to get on your hands and knees.

:hmm:
Little Crawley, Bucks. :-\

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: Well done TD.
I was expecting Crawley but I would have said wrong.

Winchelsea, Sussex.?

That's the place! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
Wow I answered a question on football. ::)
A very easy one now.

Trimley (Essex)?

Sorry :no:
Right idea, but hundreds of miles away...

:hmm:

Still hundreds of miles away...

Trimdon, Durham :-\

-
Wayhay...woohoo.. :dance:
ok
insular, and white or black
-
:drunk: ........... ;)
-
Hmm, thinking about the alcoholic clue, I'm guessing that we're talking about a Scottish island and whisky distilleries. On Jura there's a Whyte and Mackay distillery, but I can't see the black. There's Black & White whisky, but that seems to be based in Elgin on the mainland. Am I talking nonsense?
-
>>>I'm guessing that we're talking about a Scottish island <<< ;)
You have got into the spirit of the clue.......but not the right spirit.. :)
edit to add........remember the clue is white or black
-
Could we be on Mull ......... ie mulled wine ... ie wine - grapes black or white ?? :-\
-
:no: sorry
>:D
-
There is a beer called Black Isle .... from would you believe, Black Isle in the Highlands .................. a Black Isle beer might be very dark with a white frothy top :'( (clutching at straws now ;D )
-
How about the island of Rum? Rum can be black or white... :-\
-
@ scottiesmum.......... :no:
@ roseway ........ :thumbs: :clap2: :clap: That's it......Rum.

Back to you...

Woohoo... :dance:

boss of the tidal crossing
-
Fion mac Cumhail had one of theses crossings. ;)
-
After doing much reading I have decided this is to do with giants.
The boss could refer to the cock of the roost.
So ............... Cocking Causeway .................. in Sussex maybe what we are looking for. :fingers:
-
:no: sorry
Causeway ;)
-
Giants Causeway?
-
:no: sorry....
-
Well I can't find a Bruce Springsteen Causeway.
Will Crofts of Kingscauseway, Ross-shire do?
-
:no: sorry
causeway first the the boss ;)
-
Ah Ha! Turn it on its head and we get
Causewayhead, Stirling-shire.

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place.
Back to you.. ;D

Yaaah!

Wayhay woohoo :dance:
ok
sounds like a headache powder
-
Are we in Beachampton, Bucks ? ..... I have Beecham's in mind :-\
-
:no: sorry
-
:hmm:
The only other powder I can think of which is used for headaches is Eno (quite useful when the headache is the result of a hangover) so how about St Enoder in Cornwall? :no:
-
:no: sorry
Not sure if you can still get these powders.......they came in little paper envelops which you unfolded then poured the powder into water. :)
-
Well, I've been doing some exploring .... and found an old headache powder called Bex ..... wrapped similarly to your description TD .... SO ... are we in Beckces, Cumbria ? :-\
-
:no: sorry.
The powder sounds a little like a Royal racecourse...but that's not the place we seek. :)
-
Well Ascott sounds like a Royal racecourse so is that it.
Ascott, Warwickshire ?
I've never heard of it before.
The powder that is.
-
:no: sorry, but good try............we are in Bucks., and I am thinking of Askit powders.. ;)
-
Do you mean you are thinking of Askett, Bucks ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's it...was thinking of Askett....
Back to you.
-
Ooooh! that was difficult. I've never heard of Askett powder.
OK.
Shouldn't this be on Mars?
-
Maybe there should be Mars written right through the centre.
-
:hmm: the Red Planet....

We are indeed.
Back to you.

Wayhay.....woohooo... :dance:

Yay.....bull's eye....
Back to you.
-
I'll drink to that. :drink:
Happy not to be straight.
-
This has nothing to do with sexual tendencies and the like.
-
My apologies ss44, I have rather disregarded this today...too much footling elsewhere.
:hmm: .....but I'll try Merrybent, near Durham :-\
-
No need to apologies TD, it's not mandatory to answer especially with the correct answer.
Well done :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:.

:shrug2: I'm thinking though.

transport with a wheel... ;)
-
I'll have a stab at Wheelbarrow Town, Kent ? :-\
-
:no: sorry.........but you have the right transport :)
-
Well if it's very good then it could be said to be great.
That leads me to Great Barrow, Cheshire. :fingers:
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place....wayhay.. ;D
Back to you.
-
Yaaah!
Sounds like a drop of paint.
-
:hmm:
Are we near Dunbar........Spott
-
Sorry :no:
More like sounds like a blob of paint falling onto the floor. Water makes the same sort of sound but it's not coloured.
-
:hmm:
If we go to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall we find three places called Splatt....could that be it.. :-\
-
That's the sort of sound, however there is something else about this place.
-
:help:
-
Think environmental. ;)
-
:idea:
Greensplat in Cornwall?
(Sorry about leaping in when TD has done the hard work.)
-
I don't think TD would mind . :shoot:
Well done. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you Roseway.

That's where we are! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:

ok
sounds as if your partition is very wet
-
........in fact, your wall might be soaking... ;)
-
Could this be Seahouses, Nothumberland?
-
:no: sorry .............come south a good bit :)
-
It's very pleasant in Norfolk.. :)
-
I've found a Waterden in Norfolk ... which sounds quite wet ;D so that's my first attempt at this one.
-
:no: sorry
wall soaking :hmm:
-
I've found a Holme next the Sea now ? is that better ?
oooops missed your post TD .... :'( I'll keep looking ;D

OK:
A policy which pigs would vote for?
-
Mmmm ! :hmm: making my FL work overtime so ..... A policy could be 'care' and care can be worthy .... There's Hamworthy in Dorset ..... but I think I might be rambling ... again ;D
-
OR ..... I've found a Bacon's End in Solihull ... I think pigs would vote for that ;D
-
You're definitely on the right track, both answers having some merit... :graduate:
-
How about Saveock in Cornwall ?
Hock being a hind leg, I think a pig would vote for that.
-
It's more a matter of prohibition....
-
Stopham, West Sussex ? :-\
-
Nearly there, but you need to travel north and east (that's up and to the right, for the benefit of the geographically challenged ;D )
-
:hmm:
Banham, in Norfolk :-\
-
Banham it is! :clap2: :clap: :thumbs:

Here's a Saturday Simples
spoil the wood and stop
-
spoil .............like a backward sheep
wood ...........a small wood
stop............a car

-
:idea:
A male sheep is a ram, which is 'mar' spelled backwards.
A small wood could be a grove.
And when you stop a car you might park it.
So..

Ikea is a Swedish giant, so could we be in
Kea, Cornwall?
-
Sorry TD ....
Eric, your FL is in full flow :D :clap2: Kea it is .....
-
Woo-hoo, I've been burnishing my FL recently, and it's started paying dividends. ;D
So...
A good place to be in a heatwave?
-
What about Underriver, Kent ? :-\ It would be nice and cool in a river ;D
-
It's a nice thought, but sorry :no:

Cooling, Kent might be a good place. Right on your doorstep.
-
Not exactly on my doorstep. :)
But yes, that's the place. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you...
-
well it were in Kent. :)
This could be said to be cryptic.
The little one on the old bike with an angle.
-
An old bike with a big one and a little one. ;)
-
:idea:
Farthing Corner, in Kent :hmm:
-
Now why didn't I think of that? ;D

Perhaps the penny didn't drop in time Roseway. :)

Couch Green, Hampshire might be a good place to rest. :-\

Pedlar's Rest, Shropshire maybe :fingers:
-
Sorry again. :no:
Decent ... reasonable ...

-
What a wonderful place name. :) But not the right one unfortunately.
Step...
-
:hmm: ........yet another shot in the dark.. :silly:
Trotton, in Sussex..... :-\ ..... :no:
-
Sorry :no:
Don't forget the enthusiasm / keenness (and the spelling is somewhat awry) ;)
-
Step: footfall, footprint, stride, tread, walk ...
Enthusiastic: animated, avid, eager, fervent, keen, thrilled, wholehearted ...
-
:idea:
Has roseway been extra cryptic with this one...... :hmm:
A step would be a tread and could be done eagerly.......throw in a bit of letter rearranging and you could arrive in South Wales at Treadeager Tredegar :-\
-
Tredegar it is! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
(I said that the spelling was a bit awry :) )
It's all yours...
-
Wayhay....wooohooo.... :dance:
Good one ;D
Hokeydokey.....Saturday Simples
Edward has changed his name, it seems
-
Familiar Edward ;)
-
A familiar Edward that comes to my mind is Prince Edward, now he changed his title a few times, but changed his name to Edward Windsor.
Are we the seeking Windsor?
If so then there are two, one in Lincolnshire and one in Berkshire.
-
>> Are we the seeking Windsor << :no: sorry.
Not a specific Edward ;)
-
I'm looking at Teddies ............... (I love teddies :lol: ) I've found Teddington in Glos.. ? :-\ it doesn't really fit ................ but it's a start ;D
-
:no: sorry...........but Teddies ia getting closer.. :)
-
Teddy could change his name to Bear.
Beare, Devon? :-\
-
:no: sorry
Edward has changed his name...........he is a former Edward..( remember Teddies ) ;)
-
A wild stab in the dark here, but i suppose Ted could have changed his name to Stan (for some imponderable reason), and there's a Stansted in Kent... :no: :no: :no:
-
:no: sorry.
Former Ted :hmm:
-
I'm glad this is simples. :swoon:
-
:idea: :hmm:

Well done TD & Back to you.

Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:

cereal, for example
-
Now cereal makes me think of crops.
With a slight adjustment in spelling for the crop being ready we could be in place called
Cropredy, Oxfordshire ?
-
:no: sorry
>>crop << ;)
-
Before one can have a crop it must be planted first so
Plantation, Lanarkshire ?
-
:no: sorry
Specific cereal ;)
-
Down to specific guessing then :)
Wheatacre, Norfolk?
-
:no: sorry
Go north.. :)
-
How about Barley, Lancashire?
-
:no: sorry.
Even further, and don't forget the "for example" ;D
-
Maybe something a bit more general like
Farmers, Carmarthenshire :fingers:
-
:no: sorry
You've gone way too far west.... :D ....
Specific cereal for example... ;)
-
Cereal could prefix flour or flower ;)
-
What about Cornsay in Durham ? ..cereal - corn ..... for example - say :-\

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place...
Over to you........ :scare:

Drinkstone, Suffolk ? :-\

Good try, but....sorry :no:

scrumpy... :hmm:
-
Well granite is a very hard stone and I think ...........Crimchard, Somerset
could sound like a type of scrumpy.
-
:no: sorry.
Scrumpy = rough ***** :hmm:
:)
-
Scrumpy = rough cider.
I can't find anywhere that sounds like cider, rough or otherwise. ???
-
>> cider << ;) sounds like... :)
The area between Hunstanton and Fakenham is very pleasant.. ;)

Hem is an edge, put that with worth for value and you get
Hemsworth
Now the thing is there is are three of them, which one is it if any?
-
Sorry again, but you're both well in the right direction. It's a more remarkable sort of edge.

Maybe it's ...........Brinkworth, Wiltshire ................

jalopy...........old banger......are we at Bangor in Welsh Wales :-\
-
Sorry :no:
It sounds even more like a jalopy.
-
:(
:idea: Clatterford, in Hampshire... :-\
-
You are getting closer now.
Not the actual name of a car. ;)
-
There's a village in Lancashire (I remember) called Heapey ..... are we there perhaps ? :-\
-
I'm sorry we aren't.
Think of the sound an old jalopy might make. ;)
-
Ratling, Kent perhaps :-\
-
Sorry, but you are getting nearer. Not geographically.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Warwickshire............Ratley :-\

Sorry :no:
Think of a Scottish family. Followed by a Sovereign. :)

Oh don't worry TD I'll have this Cartale tiddlywinks sorted in a while.

vehicle ........>> Car << ;)
lore............ modern, slightly slang expression.
game.........dealt a difficult hand :hmm:
-
I'm not sure about the lore bit but a stab in the dark at
Fordingbridge, Hampshire?
-
:no: sorry.
Not a specific type of car.... ;)
-
And the lore might look like a short army officer.. :)
-
>>army officer<<
Montgomery was one of these. :)
-
I wonder :hmm:
Could that be ............. Cargenbridge, Kirkcudbrightshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
It could indeed...
Back to you.
-
It was the 'lore' causing the problem.
OK.
Sounds like this place is being bothered by someone.

Straight in the bulls eye :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:

-
:idea:
Peckham Bush, Kent ?
-
:no: sorry
-
I suppose it could be .......... Bush ................but there's three of 'em.
-
:no: sorry
This rush is not vegetation ;)
-
rush = haste, run, hurry, speed... :)
-
And cockneys sometimes drop their "aitches" ;)
-
Straw grabbing again.
Curry Lane, Cornwall ?
-
:no: sorry
Haste or hurry with a dropped aitche..... :hmm:

Asterby, Lincolnshire. :-\

You have found the correct one....Urray it is.
Back to you.

Hip, Hip Urray. :D
This place sounds like an outlaws fashion statement.

It asterby really, doesn't it?
(OK, I'll get me coat ;D )
-
This years colour maybe.
-
Half an outlaw. ;)
-
:D @ Eric .....
Half an outlaw ... could be out ......... and a colour could be a cast ...... so are we at Outcast, Cumbria ? :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Wrong on both counts. You worked hard on that as well.
-
Are we in Shade, Nr. Calderdale in Lancashire ? :-\ ( can't see the outlaw connection but there may be some Yorkshire word I don't know :D )
-
The colour is very common ;)
The outlaw was very famous, but not with Yorkshire.
The half might refer to his name. ;)
-
:hmm:
Hood Green, in snow bound Yorkshire.. :-\
-
Oooooooooooooo TD you are clever, I'm sure that's it ... I was still trying to match green with something :)

The AA, RAC and others could help you with this. ;)

:hmm:
Sounds as if the car is broken..?
Are we in Hampshire................Carisbrooke :-\

I'm about to have a nervous one with all this.
-
Well just to add to your breakdown Colin ;D could be be at Calbost in the Western Isles. Cal .. Chinese car.... bost ... almost bust :'(
-
Oh! dear. Sorry, please read the last clue again with a Chinese accent. ;D
-
:hmm:
Are we back in Buckinghamshire.........Clanking :-\
-
I'm afraid not, sorry. :no:
I can't make it any more obvious.
-
Except >> breakdown << ;) ;)
-
:idea:
Blakedown, in Worcestershire.... :-\
-
That's the place. :thumbs: :clap: :clap:
Over to you TD.
-
phew !!! ;D well done TD .....

amuse the big men of rugby
-
Where would you find the big men of rugby :hmm:
-
France :lol: >:D
-
I was thinking of a big bath, maybe Bathville in West Lothian will do?
-
France :lol: >:D
............... :lol:
@ ss44 .........sorry, :no: .......they are still playing.. ;)
-
Are we talking Fartown, Yorkshire. The old home of Huddersfield Giants?
-
Is there a place called Onfield ? (that's just my FL so possibly wrong :D )
-
:no:
sorry to both.
Think playing rugby in a melee...........and the amusement could be tactile as well as emotional.
-
I've been trying to associate 'scrum' with something .... I'll keep looking :'(
-
I found a place called Scrum Down in Hemel Hempstead, but it's somebodies house. ???
-
>>scrum <<
How many rows in a scrum......and we don't want the first two.. :D
-
Start with the tactile amuse ;)
-
:idea:
Tickleback Row, Berks ? perhaps :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the place...
Over to you... :scare:
-
Ooooooooooooo goody ! ..... what a lovely name for a village ;D
OK here's a fairly easy peasy one ...
Sign of boiling water ?
-
Steam Mills in Gloucs perhaps? :-\
-
I'm glad you got that one Scottiesmum, I was visualising all sorts and would probably barred from the forum if I posted them. :lol:
-
Sorry Eric ... but your right to be steaming ;)
;D @ Colin II ....
-
:hmm:
Could it be time for a cup of tea, we might be at Kettlesing, Yorkshire.
-
We certainly could Colin :clap2: :clap2: quite weak, no sugar and a little milk for me please ;D
-
Ah! Strong, no milk and a few grains of sugar in mine.
OK.
A place to put your ornaments with a hissy fit.
-
Shelfanger, Norfolk ?
-
Way! a hole in one. Well done. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you.
-
Whey hey .....
OK .... a little more cryptic ... but easy peasy with it .....
This place is almost a Plantagenet trollope ;)
-
:hmm:
Tudor Hill, in Warwickshire :-\
-
:no: Sorry TD ...... as a reader I thought it might appeal to you !
-
:hmm:
Tries again... ;D
are we at Fenny Hill, in Lancs. :-\
-
:no: sorry TD .... we're not on a hill at all ;D
-
:idea:
Plantagenet Palliser was the eponymous hero of several novels by Anthony Trollope.
Are we at Pallister in Yorkshire :-\
-
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey !! bien sûr !! :clap2: :clap2: TD .....
-
Wayhay...woohooo......... :dance:
Good clue........thinking of trollop(e) I was stuck on Fanny Hill ( so to speak) :blush:
Okays...easypeasy
no dogs allowed
-
:idea:
Catlodge, Inverness-shire ?
-
:no: sorry
Go south. :)
-
Going South to Catstree, Shropshire?
-
:no: sorry.
Stay with the dogs.. ;)
-
Hound in Hampshire ? :-\ .... ( the hound might chase the dogs away :D )
-
:D
:no: sorry
Go north this time.. :)
-
A poor, stray dog perhaps.. :)
-
A poor, stray, bad-tempered, mangy dog perhaps......(could apply to an unsavoury person, too) ;)
-
Are we at Curbar in Derbyshire ? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
We are indeed...
Over to you.. :swoon:
-
Wheyhey !!!!! pray tell me kind sir, why do you faint ? :lol:
OK ..... easy peasy one .....
A French end at the beginning of Shakespeare's river !
-
Well Shakespeare's river should be the river Avon, as for the French bit ??
So a stab at Aberavon, Glamorgan?
-
Now come on Colin .... you can do this .... ;D French end !!!!!!!!!! (turn it around) ....... ;) PS..... it's not Aberavon, but you have the right river !
-
>>> pray tell me kind sir, why do you faint <<< It's ok for you...but I see your clues from this end... :D
Finavon, in Angus :hmm:
-
:D
You've got it TD ... :clap2: :clap2:
-
5th coil first is not important. ( its a well known tourist town)
-
Wayhay.........woohooo..... :dance: :dance:
@ razpaq, whoever solves one clue is the one to post the next clue. So solve the following one and then try yours again...unless someone else nips in with the answer ;D
(This also gives us time to cheat by pondering on yours.. :D )
ok...simples
sounds like a thoroughfare for poetry
-
Rhymney Bridge, Glamorgan sounds a bit like poetry.
-
It does indeed, but not what we are looking for, sorry.. :no:
-
Wayhay.........woohooo..... :dance: :dance:

Hey, I've always been a rule-breaker dontchaknow !!! ;D
Right, so now I know the protocol, can I assume then that your goodself has set the last clue with 'Finavon, in angus' ?????
-
Ooops ... got it now. Just seen the "thoroughfare etc etc ...."
-
>>> Hey, I've always been a rule-breaker dontchaknow <<< :clap:
-
Move over UncleUB you could be getting a guest! :)
-
Do the answers have to be locations in GB ???
If not, is the answer ..... St Kitts ??? ......... 'Thoroughfare' = St. ........... 'Sounds like - poetry' = Keats sounds similar to Kitts.
Extremely weak logic I know. But, it is Friday which means I have a few glasses of wine to wash the week away, which in turn allows my brain and thought-processes to become complete mush. ??? :P
-
The name of the place has to be in the British Isles and the name of a real place.
A mushy brain is a prerequisite for this game. ;D
Now I recall a poet by the name of Robert Penn and there is a place called ............... Penn Street in Buckinghamshire. Maybe this is what we are looking for.
-
Thanks for the heads-up SS44. ;D
-
>>> Move over UncleUB you could be getting a guest! >>> :lol:
>>St Kitts << :no:
>> place has to be in the British Isles or Northern Ireland << ;)
>> . Penn Street << :no:
Think of the structure of a poem, limerick, sonnet, ode, haiku etc etc.
-
Well, now this will really confuse razpag, and everyone else probably :lol: but my FL at work again .....
Could the Mill on the Floss be described as poetic ? .........if so ......... :D there is a Street on the Fosse in Somerset .... ?? ::) :'(
-
:swoon:
or what about Oad Street, Kent?
-
@ scottiesmum.............. :-X :-X :-X ......... :D
@ ss44 ........... :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: yay, you gottum..........back to you.
-
Weeeeeee! Sorry Kate.
OK
Have this one on me.
-
Could we be in Freeby, Leicestershire ................. meaning that it would be a freebie for everyone else .... not implying that your cheapskate Colin :lol:
-
Owt for Nowt that's me.
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: The logic worked this time.
Over to you.
-
Ooooooooooo .... good to see the odl FL is still in tact :D
OK ..... a Saturday simples ;D
This could be why the 'phone is off !
-
Well brook sounds like broke so are we at Polebrook, Northamptonshire?
-
:no: sorry Colin.
-
Is it just me ?????? These type of clues/answers could be applied to probably quite a few streets in most towns, cities in the British Isles. As I've never been to Kent, I would need to have some form of divine intervention to allow me to get to 'Oad St - Kent' as the answer. It could quite easily have been 'Prose Avenue - Gwent'.
Ah well ......... have you cracked mine yet Duck ?? Don't pretend you haven't looked at it, as most cryptic crossers I know would go without food and sleep until they'd cracked it !! ;D ;D
5th coil first is not important. ( its a well known tourist TOWN)
Breaks every rule, I know, but folk living outside of Kent might have a chance of getting it. ;) ;D ;)
-
>>>It could quite easily have been 'Prose Avenue - Gwent'. <<<<
No, it couldn't.............read the clue again. :) ........and a simple road atlas does wonders.. ;D
-
OK, slight error on my part .............. it could be 'Pro's Avenue' then. ;D
But, I 'm sure you get my point Duck. ;)
Now get going on my personal clue to you :P. You won't need a Road Atlas (thank the lord), you will have heard of this place many, many times.
-
>>> But, I 'm sure you get my point Duck <<<
No, I don't.
It's only a game with simple rules. You are more than welcome to play the game by the rules or to ignore the game as is your choice. What we will not welcome is the game being spoiled for other players.
I'm sure you understand. :)
-
:hmm:
When you put the receiver down, there is ( or used to be ) a clicking noise......down, click
Are we in Cornwall...at Lower Clicker :-\
-
A bad line could give you ................... Badcall in Sutherland ? well maybe. :-\
-
>>> But, I 'm sure you get my point Duck <<<
No, I don't.

I'm sure you understand. :)
Er, No, I don't understand !! Are the 'rules' determined by the number of posts one has comitted, or the 'status' of the individual ???
I really do believe that the 'cryptic clues' on this particular game are so open to abuse it's untrue. I'm not trying to "Spoil it", just questioning the rules Duck. I shouldn't have to have an AA Roadmap at my side to answer a cryptic clue, !!!! I regularly attempt the Daily Express Crossword without the need for Atlas's, Roadmaps or the atmospehric pressure graphs of the local hillsides to realise the answer !!!
It all seems a bit 'Our gang' to me. I'm sure you understand. ;D
-
Please allow me to explain. The idea of this very simple game is to guess where the person setting the clue is. The ensuing clues are not particularly cryptic, although sometimes they are. It's not a game for our clan, it is for any member to take part. Some of the clues are logic some are not. The particiapnts are trying to work out where the OP of the particular clue is. The way to get a turn at providing a clue one has to correctly guess where the OP is. Get it right and you get the chance to put your clue on the board.
It's that simple. :)
-
Think i'll bow out then pal. It seems far from 'simple' to a newcomer like myself. Crack on ... ;D
-
Colin has just about explained it. The only thing I would add is that an atlas and/or an online gazetteer are more or less essential to solve the clues, unless you happen by chance to know the place concerned. I think the misunderstanding is that you believed that the clues are all cryptic and can be solved without an atlas or whatever. That isn't the case.
Please don't be offended - nobody is getting at you, and we would welcome your taking part.
-
Oooops sorry ! I've just realised it's still my clue you are aiming at .... ::) I was a little thrown !!! :D
But .... sorry to both TD and Colin :no: .... although Colin II your mention of "line " has a connection .... if a different spelling ;) ;)
-
:hmm:
Lyne Down, in Herefordshire :-\
-
Whey hey .... you're reconnected TD ;D :clap2:

Cheers for the explanation roseway/Colin, but i'll bow out all the same. ;D Too many options that could be the answer for my scientific mind. :lol:
I have to admit though, there are some good clues, and Duck appears to be the master of cryptic. :)
-
Whey hey .... you're reconnected TD ;D :clap2:
Wayhay..woohooo... ;D
ok..simples
goat noise, by the look of it.
-
Back in business :thumbs:
Now more serious things, are we in a place called Bleatarn, Westmorland?
-
;D
but..........sorry.. :-\
-
:doh:
Bleet, Wiltshire ?
-
:no: sorry.........think sex :o
-
>> .think sex << I've forgotten what that is. ???
If you mean billy then there is a Billy Row in Durham?
-
:D
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place.........over to you.
-
Way hay!
Another easy one.
Scottish, Airedale, Yorkshire etc.
-
Terriers in Buckinghamshire perhaps?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs: and Roseway gets an ace.
Over to you.
-
Woo-hoo :dance:
Another easy-peasy one then:
Everyone's a romantic!
-
:hmm:
Loversall, in Yorkshire. :-\
-
Another ace! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you, TD...
-
Yay ;D
hokeydokey.....
foliage in spring
-
A guess at New Greens, Hertfordshire ?
-
Close, good idea but.....sorry :no:
-
Maybe Young Wood, Lincolnshire might be nearer?
-
:no: sorry
The second half of your first idea is interesting, and foliage consists of............ :hmm:
-
Well I looked at a place called Leaves Green in Kent, could that be it?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the place, and back to you..
-
Yah!
Now this one is dead easy.
-
:hmm:
Bury, in Lancashire :no:
-
Oh no, not that easy. Sorry.
-
I thought not ;D
Dead.........passed on..... :hmm: ...Paston, in Northamptonshire :-\
-
Sorry :no: You are getting the idea though.
-
Picture a little lad pushing a bike up a cobbled hill, somewhere in Lancashire I think it wer'
The place you are looking for is not in Lancashire I might ad (spelling intended).
-
:hmm:
The music in that ad was taken from the largo of the symphony "From the New World" composed by Antonin Dvorack.
Someone wrote lyrics for it, and the resultant song became known as Going Home
Dead....gone home......I'm still no nearer solving this, though.. :blush:
-
Is there a Brownbread in the UK ? ;D the avert was for Hovis and Bronwbread is rhyming slang so I suppose there could be some FL in there :D
-
I'm going to be very generous here and declare Scottiesmum the winner. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
The place I'm looking for is Brownbread Street in Sussex.
For interest that particular advert was judged one of the best.
Over to you Kate.
-
Goodness !!! :o It was very tongue in cheek :D but thank you for you generosity Colin ;D
A newly-wed in good health.
-
Well done, scottiesmum....I was miles away from that one... :-[
As to your clue........... :hmm: ..........Brideswell, in Aberdeenshire :-\
-
Ooooops .... I thought I'd replied to you TD .. must not have pressed post !!! ::) anyway ... You have it one ! :clap2: :clap2:
-
Wayhay...woohooo... :dance:
ok, easy one
sounds like chillier badmen in Scotland
-
A stab in the dark here with ..................... Logie Coldstone, Aberdeenshire ?
They just sound like bad guys.
-
:hmm:
There are several places called Calder xxxx, which could sound like 'colder', but I'm struggling with the badmen. I'll use some FL and take a wild stab at Calder Mains in Caithness. :no:
-
:no: to both, I'm afraid................but Calder.... ;)
bad men.....felons, robbers, crooks, gangsters, :hmm:
-
Aha! CalderCruix, Lanarkshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay..you gottum..
Over to you.
-
Yaah!
This could get me in bother.
Sounds of a thoroughfare full of women!
-
:o
Could this be Bedlam Street, Sussex if so ......(https://forum.kitz.co.uk/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.villagephotos.com%2Fp%2F2005-5%2F1013475%2Fbaseball_133.gif&hash=ae343c1ab333c6f3aef81dabefe36e779dd6a2a8) ;D if not .....

-
That's got to be the right answer. :lol:
-
:lol:
-
I knew I was heading for trouble. (pun intended).
It is wrong anyway, sorry :no: Similar lines though.
-
:hmm:
Cackle Street, in Sussex :-\
TD runs and hides

Save a space for me TD because you are correct. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to you.

Wayhay.......woohooo....... :dance:
Don't worry, ss44, we can go into the NC and hide behind unkyUb.........she'll never find us there... :D
okeys, and staying on roughly the same theme... ::)
thoroughfare for an adulterous lover
-
I don't think there's a place called Hanky Panky Street, so how about
Swainshill in Herefordshire?
-
:D
:no: sorry
-
I know there's a thoroughfare called Rotten Row but not sure if there's a place :D
(and I'll find you both wherever you hide - I've have Interpol involved ;D)
-
Moving on swiftly.
An adulterous lover could be called a cheat.
The nearest I can find is Cheetham Fold, Cheshire. Maybe Fold could be a thoroughfare on this occasion. ::)
-
:no: to both, sorry.
>>Interpol << :scare:
Think French ;)
-
Paramour Street,Kent ? :-\
-
Or ...... alternatively,
Paramoor, Cornwall :-\
-
Advantage Signora! (creep, creep)
-
Paramour Street,Kent ? :-\
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Woowoo.........that's the place..
Back to you... :swoon:
>>(creep, creep)<< won't do any good, I'm afraid.. :(
-
Mamma Mia Colin .... ! I've gone all Italian now :lol:
(You wouldn't believe some of the place names I tried to concoct using the many definitions of adulterer in French :lol:)
but wheeeeeeee ! ;D OK .....
A tarnished place ? well, almost. :angel:
-
:hmm:
Are we in Glamorgan .......Sully :-\
-
:no: sorry TD (I thought this would be right up your street ! )
-
Sorry but Signora sounded better than femme.
Could this place be Dull, Perthshire?
-
Sorry :no: Colin ......
just call me madame :lol:
-
:hmm:
Stane, in Lanarkshire :-\
-
:no: Sorry again TD ...... but you are in the right country ;D
think of green tarnish, then get rid of the singular subject ..and you're there.
-
:idea:
Are we in Ayrshire.............Patna ( take the i out of patina) :-\
-
Yes we are ! :clap2: :clap: :clap: easy peasy wasn't it ;D
-
One learns something new every day. :graduate:
I bet you are blonde as well.
-
Yay... ;D
>> easy peasy wasn't it << :-X
ok
the very last place to be
-
Lands End, Cornwall sounds a bit too obvious, however we'll give it a guess?
-
Sorry... :no:
-
Well, this is a very 'dark' thought on this clue ..... but ..... "the very last place to be" indicates a finality .... and a definite final place would be a coffin :o (I said it was a 'dark thought' ;D ) so ...... are we perhaps in Underwood, Devon ? ...... :'(
-
:no: sorry
-
It could be Worlds End?
-
:no: sorry
>:D
-
Perpetuity-on-Sea :lol:
(still looking !!)
Oooo just had a thought ... I wonder if this is alphabetical ....possibly the very last place alphabetically in the UK would be Zouch in Leicestershire :'(
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay........the FL has gottum...well done scottiesmum.
Zouch it is.
-
Whey hey ...... ;D
Exert power on an Old English forest ;) (two clues in one there :angel: )
-
:hmm:
Exert power = wield power
Old English word for forest = weald
Are we at Weald, in Oxfordshire :-\

We certainly are ..... :clap2: :clap: :thumbs: TD ..... over to you :)

wayhay....woohooo :dance:
Here's a Saturday Simples
holy house follows what the pessimist always sees.
-
Churchdown, Glos perhaps ? :-\
-
:no: sorry
-
Well a pessimist always sees the black side of things and a Minster could be the holy house.
Blackminster, Worcestershire?
-
:no: sorry
-
Black Chapel, North End, Essex
-
Maybe a play on words with Dymchurch, Kent ? :-\
-
:no: sorry, it's a no to both.
>:D
-
:lol: I love it when TD has his 'divil' head on
Well if the pessimist had a lisp we could be at Worth Abbey, Sussex .... :D .....but............ I shall carry on looking :'(
-
Another thought !
Holy house in Scotland would be a Kirk .... and a pessimist always sees an obstacle ... a wall could be an obstacle ... SO ...are we in Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands ? :-\
-
:no: sorry, no to both ideas, good as they are. :)
A pessimist never see the up side of things.. ;)
-
:hmm:
:idea:
Could we be at Downside Abbey in Somerset?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
We could indeed....
Over to you.

Way-hay :dance:
Okey dokey...
It sounds as though this bovine was raised in a sweet environment
-
:hmm:
Cowley Peachy, in Middlesex :-\
-
Sorry :no:
-
Cowplain (as in plain chocolate) , Hampshire ? :-\
-
Sorry again :no:
Bees might be involved in the raising of the bovine... ;)
-
Oxcombe, Lincolnshire ???
-
Sorry :no:
bees ... sweetness ...
-
Yes I have that honey ;D
-
raised ... brought into the world ...
-
Well I have found a Honeybourne in Wiltshire is this the place ?
Is this something to do with the fact that Honeybourne is comprised of two villages, one called Church HoneyBourne and the othe called Cow Honeybourne?
-
>>> Cow Honeybourne
That's it! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :clap2:
It's all yours...
-
Now that was difficult.
An easy peasey one now.
Get your frozen fish here.
-
:hmm:
Coldstream, in the Borders... :-\
-
Sorry :no: that's too easy.
-
It's already frozen when it's caught perhaps.
-
:hmm: frozen when newly caught... :-\ ........ :idea: hard and raw...
Hardraw, in North Yorkshire.... :'(
-
Good thinking that, unfortunately :no: Sorry.
-
If the fish are frozen then the water must also be. ;)
-
:hmm:
You would find frozen water at the poles, and fish possibly in a brook.
Are we at Polebrook, in Northamptonshire... :-\
-
You are working too hard TD, sorry :no:
Think more simplistic (that is not a clue) more a directive. :)
-
There's a little place in Orkney called Iceland Skerry... :-\
-
Sorry :no:
It's a lot further south.

Freezy Water, Enfield ? :-\

:idea:
Pett, Sussex?

Straight to the winning line! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you...

:hmm:
Are we in Wiltshire............Dinton :-\
-
Er! Sorry :no:
-
:hmm:
Great Snoring, in Norfolk.. :-\
-
Sorry TD not there yet.
I have just spotted a typo in my first clue, hear, instead of here.
Hopefully it hasn't made too much of a difference. :fingers:
-
TD tries again... ;D
You might put on earmuffs to stave off a chilly east wind.....so
are we at Coldeast, in Devon. :hmm:
-
I suppose you might need ear protectors to keep out
The Dings in Gloucestershire ?
-
:no: Sorry to both.
Stay with the noise though. >:D
-
Loudwater - Buckinghamshire
or
Loudwater - Hertfordshire
-
Loudwater it is, I was thinking the one in Bucks but either will do.
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2: We have another winner.

Thanks to AdrianH for some of the hard work.
Did Pulleyblank live here?
-
Are we in Calgary on the Isle of Mull ? :-\
-
Sorry :no:
I think it may be a cryptic clue?
-
1968
-
I've been exploring !! Someone called Leapy Lee, was born Graham Pulleyblank. In 1968 apparently, he had a song in the charts called Little Arrows.
There is a place called Little Arowry near Wrexham - this is the closest connection I can make with this one :-\
-
That is very close, but not quite close enough. Right person, right song wrong place.
I bet that song is going round in your head now. :lol:
It is in mine.
-
:idea:
Are we in Norfolk..........St. Helena :hmm: :-\
-
Sorry TD :no:
-
Little Dart, Devon ? :-\
-
Sorry, yet again :no: Look at my answer to your last guess.
Go North.
-
I believe there's a Bluebird near this place.
-
:idea:
Little Arrow, just south of Coniston in the Lake District. :-\

That's the one :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: :thumbs:

Cryptic indeed.........good one ! And thanks to scottiesmum for the lead. TD had never heard of Leapy Lee.. :-[

I only found Leapy Lee by 'googling' Pulleyblank TD (prior to that I thought that Pullyblank referred to a white rope :D ) --- I vaguely recall the song .....but not quite my genré :lol:
off to explore for your clue ! :)
-
Now, I may be making heavy weather of this one .... ;D but young .. could refer to New ... and to tender is to make an offer to buy perhaps ... so what about Newby in Yorkshire ? :-\
I'm expecting a :no: :D

>>> I'm expecting a :no: <<<
Always willing to oblige...sorry :no:
:D
-
;D.... another thought ... " young tender " :idea: I wonder if that's short for young pretender ? .... are we in Charles, Devon ?
-
:no: sorry
-
This tender might bring you a poorly present ;)
-
A bit of a stab in the dark at Wheal Kitty, Cornwall :-\

:no: sorry.
If not a poorly present, maybe a syringe... :ouch:

This little duck finally found a safe hatching place in a French town.
-
A wild, very wild stab in the dark here.
Duck translated by google into French can be cane amongst others.
There is a place called Caneheath in Sussex.
So I'm guessing that one.
-
Sorry Colin .... no it's nothing to do with canard (duck) ... the duck is a very English duck ... it's the town bit that's French ;)
-
In that case we could be in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire ?
Because Aylesbury is twinned with Bourg-en-Bresse I do believe.
-
Or......... :hmm: are we near Dingwall, Jemimaville :-\

TD has it ..... Jemima Puddleduck (Beatrix Potter) French to town ..... Ville .... :clap2: :clap2:

Oooooooooooooo that's Dylan Thomas ..... we're not looking at the place backwards are we ??? :o :D
-
I thought you would be on this like a shot Kate.
You are on the right lines, but go back to my original clue as you may have been sidelined.

All of me would be SS44. ;)

-
How about ................... Cowbit, Lincolnshire?
-
Yeah! Bovine Binary Digits! :thumbs:
-
Yah!
A nice easy one now.
Named after a careless bull perhaps?
-
Cowslip Green - North Somerset
-
Sorry :no:
This bull has charged something stronger than he expected. :'(
-
If a bull charged and ran into a concrete wall what might happen to him. (Apart from getting headache).
-
:hmm: ......could you call a bull's horn a "spear" ........if so, are we at Breakspear, Middlesex :-\
-
Sorry TD :no:
He didn't actually break his horn. ;)
-
Well, he'd be jolly cross .... and might be decapitated ......... so are we at Headless Cross in Cumbria ? :-\
-
This must be harder than I thought,sorry. It's not Headless Cross, Scottiesmum.
There's a special zone at the front of a vehicle in case of such a collision. Not with a bull I might add.
-
Crumplehorn - Cornwall
-
Hooray! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2: AdrianH has it.
Back to you.

Hokeydokey
no wind, but a nearby store
-
Lachrymal growths may assist.. :)
-
Now a Den could be thought of as a store, and the lack of Lachrymal would give you dry eyes.
Putting that together gives me .............. Dryden in The Borders ............... Are we there?
-
:no: sorry.
>> lack of Lachrymal would give you dry eyes. << .............but what if there were no lack ? ;)
-
Old Cryals, Kent seems to be a likely candidate then, well maybe. :-\
-
:no: .......or maybe not... ;D
lachrymal growth :)
-
Lachrymal growth brings me to weeping.
I have found ............... Weeping Cross in Staffordshire ......................... , but I can't find the store ???
-
:no: sorry
>> Weeping << :thumbs: .......the growth is leafy ;)
-
Willowbank - Buckinghamshire ?
No wind in the Willows and bank is the nearest to a store I found. ???
-
:no: sorry
>> wind in the Willows << back to the original clue...no wind, but a store nearby.. ;)
-
Well there is a place called Weeping Willow near Cambridge, on Google street view there is some sort of store, but you can't see what it is for vehicles blocking the view.
So Weeping Willow, Cambridgeshire?
-
:no: sorry
The store is agricultural :)
-
Willows Barn, Apsey Green
-
Oooo...close, very close.....but :no:
Put the store first and see what happens..and remember that it's nearby :)
-
Barnby in the Willows - Nottinghamshire

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
That's the one.....over to you.

A very cowardly place apparently.

This wouldn't happen to be ........................ Noel Park, Middlesex ................ would it?
-
Sorry :no: , not even Dutch courage is found here.
-
Chickenley, Yorkshire ? :-\
-
:no: this place is very scared and might get their milk in jugs .
-
Now according to the Gazetteer of British Place names there is a place called Much Cowardne, Herefordshire.
According to Google Maps the place is called Cowarne, Herefordshire.
Is one of these the place?

Are we in Heaviley, near Stockport, Cheshire. Heavy - stodgy .... ley - lea - meadow ? :-\

Well, if I take the 'cardinal' to be the first ..... and remove the B I'm left with Oing :'( ;D

Ah! if you take I to be cardinal you are left with Bong.
If you have a few Boings and remove the I you have Bongs Road in Stockport.
-
:no: to both ideas, sorry.
cardinal.... :hmm:
-
I may have to point you in the right direction.
-
Well I tried removing N for North before and ended up with Bog
The nearest I can find is The Bog, Shropshire. Could that be the place?
-
:no: sorry......if you remove the north from boing, you get more than bog... ;)
-
Yes of course I finish up with Boig :doh: But I still can't find one.
-
>> Boig << ;)
Yay, you have removed the cardinal point from the noise of the bounce.....we need to prefix that noise with the bounce itself, remember the list bounce, bound, spring, leap, recoil.

You may need a bark to navigate here.

There's quite a choice for this one.
I'll start with Dog Village, Devon?
-
:no: :no:
navigate ;)
-
:hmm:
Bark forms on trees..........and a navigator may "box the compass"....soooooooo...
are we at Box Trees, in Warwickshire... :-\
-
:D
" a bark" ............ (wikipedia may help) and yes bark forms on trees and trees give us ..........
-
Trees give us sticks, branches, medicines and the list goes on.
The one thing with regards to navigating is paper on which maps were printed so.
Papermill Bank, Shropshire ?
-
:no: :no:
The officers would use maps to navigate to their destination , the name of which is related to trees ,bark and a place on the coast.
Bark as you noted has several meanings, we are loosley looking at the use of two.
-
Square and Compass, Pembrokeshire :-\
-
Square and Compass, Pembrokeshire :-\
:no: :no:
"A bark" is a ship , navigate means to sail to a place , so we are coming to our destination from the sea.
Bark is also connected to the name of our destination, bark comes from trees which grow in and give us .........
-
I was barking up the wrong tree then. ;D
-
I was barking up the wrong tree then. ;D
but you are barking at a tree and trees come from ...................?
-
Trees come from saplings or acorns and a number of things.
Maybe I'm going barking mad, but I will have a go with ................. Woods Moor, Cheshire. :-\
Trees come from woods, reaching the end of a sea voyage you would moor at the quay side.

Not quite there yet ...... Wood_ and a coastal feature.

Arriving from the sea you would see ............ Land ...................

Putting it all together ......................... Woodland Head, Devon might be the place?

Are we at Ascot..................( slightly altered Tosca) ? :-\

:hmm:
I think you want us to substitute the A in "diva" for something else............but TD is baffled... :(
-
OK ........... back to Diva - "a" and a derogatory term ........ :'(
Divy is derogatory and Divie is a place if we remove a from Diva and add ie ........ gawd my head hurts and it's soooo hot here today :baby:
-
Now that you have diva ...... Perhaps I want you to ADD an a :angel: ................ I'm surprised you've not arrived here before anyone else TD ;) ;)

>>> it's not helped me at all <<< :lol:

I think this is too obvious .... and I can't see the oriental connection .... but I'll start with
Seal in Kent ? :-\

Thank you Scottiesmum, after showing my inadequate knowledge on wildlife I did indeed do as you suggested. All to no avail though.
Good luck but I think you should be looking for Seaw. :)

@ scottiesmum.......>> Seal << so very close....but :no:
@ ss44..........not W ......oriental :)
-
Seale, Surrey?
Still trying to make the Oriental connection.
-
Now then ..... you say not W .... and that is a capital letter ....referring to West perhaps .... orient is East .... !
There's an Eals, in Northumberland ..... which is an anagram of seal ..... is my FL in overdrive again ? :D

@ scottiesmum............ :no:
@ ss44 ........ :clap: :clap2: :dance:
That's it.....

Carstairs, Lanarkshire.

:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...you gottum.
Back to you.
-
Way! Hey!
There is absolutely nothing in the urn.
-
Urn > cauldron, kettle. You might put stew in it.
-
The kettle called this type of urn names by saying it had a black bottom, when it had one itself!!
The urn was like mother Hubbard's cupboard.
-
:doh:
Barepot - Cumbria .
-
Hurray! AdrianH has it. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:

Tried a few ideas in Wikipedia and .......
Marcross (Welsh: Marcroes) is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It consists of a public house (the Horseshoes Inn) and a few scattered houses, farms, and a small medieval church in the centre of the village.

-
You might find some of it in a field.
-
The joke has me a little confused Colin :'( .... but could we be at Dunge in Wiltshire ? :-\
-
Sorry we're not in Dunge.
The joke is one of those that make you go :doh:
It's not the joke, but what you'd say about it.
-
Oh dear! I seem to have confused you all again. :(
This joke could be described as trite, clichéd, old hat.
Thesaurus should help.
-
Corney - Cumbria ?

Welcome to the game, :) , and over to you to set a clue..
-
8)
Wow - beginner's luck eh? Many thanks TD.
OK then, here we go - Saint approaches religion with queen.
-
Oh, it's gone very quiet. :o
It's not an obscure saint, it's not the name of a particular religion, and the queen is our current one.
-
It's not for want of trying ;D
Plenty of clues there to stir the gray matter :)
-
:shrug2:
-
:hmm: :help:
-
I do hope the candles are still lit.
-
First letter is P
-
I've found Peterchurch in Hereford/Worcester .... that covers a saint and religion .... but can't find Elizabeth ? ;D
-
Stick with Peter, but look much further north.
-
:idea:
Peter
religion....cult
Queen........ER
Peterculter, near Aberdeen... :-\
-
:thumbs:
The duck has it :) :clap2: :clap2:
-
Ooooooooooo well done TD ! ........ 4candles may I ask if you are female ? it's just that there's a touch of FL about that clue ;D
-
No, not female. :blush:
Maybe it's because I like cryptic crosswords.
-
Wayhay.........woohoooooo........... :dance:
Phew.. ;D
hokeydokey.this is easy.
large but confused raptor
-
I'll take a guess at ................. Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire?
-
:no: sorry.
-
Go far south west across the water to find this raptor. ;)
-
Well, this is a looooooooooooooong shot ;D FL on overdrive ! Some species of Herons are raptors ..... SO ...... if it were confused it could be a variation on the name .... SO .... what about Herm Island, near Guernsey ..... south west,, across the water !! :-\ I did say it was a long shot :D
-
>> FL on overdrive << :scare: :swoon:
:no: sorry.
Much, much further south west......across lots of water.. ;)
-
Are we on the Falkland Islands somewhere?
-
West of that, into the land of Kon Tiki ;)
-
The raptor shares a name with a tobacco.. ;)
-
Are we at ............ Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia?
I know the tobacco but where's the raptor :shrug2:
-
Sorry :no:
A large raptor from South America shares a name with a brand of pipe tobacco.......the baccy catch phrase used to be "That ****** Moment" ;)
-
??? :'(
Well ............ the advert was for CONDOR which is a big raptor but I cannot find a Condor anywhere in the British Isles. The closest I got was Conder - Lancashire
-
:no: sorry
>>CONDOR <<< ;) ..........but confused :)
-
::)
:doh: Cordon - North Ayrshire ? Scrolled right past it twice ???
-
Well if that is correct I have been lead a merry dance. The Isle of Arran is not South West of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. :)
-
>> Cordon<< :no: sorry. >:D
We are in Derbyshire.
-
Clutching at straws here.
Conrod Settlement, Nova Scotia?
-
:no: sorry.
Confused condor.......starting with something fishy... ;)
-
Codnor, Derbyshire ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay.....you gottum.
Back to you.
-
Phew - got there in the end :)
OK, something not too taxing for a Sunday afternoon...
Bike maker is angry
-
The raptor is not the only one confused. Reading through your clues TD. Where does the water come in and since when was Derbyshire South West of Berkshire?
Sorry 4candles I have to try and clear that up.
On with your clue.
-
@ ss44
The large amount of water being crossed in a south westerly direction was to try and lead you to South America...the home of the Condor......and you very nearly arrived there having worked out the logic when you suggested the Falkland Islands.
I don't see any previous reference to Berkshire.
Off to puzzle over 4candles clue.
-
Butlers Cross ...Bucks ? :-\............... Claude Butler ... cross ...... angry ... :-\
-
Almost there!
Different maker.
-
Thorncross, IOW ? :-\ perhaps ...
-
:no:
It's a really well known maker
-
:hmm:
Are we in Buckinghamshire.............Gerrards Cross :-\
-
:no: :no: :no: :'(
The most famous bicycle manufacturer.
We are in the West Country.
-
Is there a Raleigh Cross in the UK ? I can't find one but I'll give it a go ;D
Oooo I've just found a Raleighs Cross ..Somerset !

Yay! That's the one - over to you...

Oooops ... sorry for delay !

Sounds like a lot of arguing here.
-
Bickerton, Yorkshire ?
-
You've given me more than I wanted 4C ;) ..... so I'm going to be really mean and say sorry :no: :D
-
Oooo! can I just sneak in with Bicker, Lincolnshire?
-
You can Colin .... and you've got it .... :clap2: :clap2: Sorry 4C bit it was Bicker, Lincs I had in mind :angel:
-
That's OK :)
It was the "a lot of" which seemed to require the "ton".
-
Thank you Scottiesmum and thank you 4candles for the idea.
Another easy one for you.
A good place for messing about.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Kent..........River :-\
-
Are we in Scotland perchance?
-
:no: To both.
-
:hmm: Is there a military connection?
-
I am unable to find any military connection. It is old though. :)
-
Do boats come into this at all?
-
:hmm:
"a good place"......I wonder if that is A Good place........meaning the Good family messing about in the TV prog "The Good Life"
So.........are we in Surbiton :-\
ps 4candles...it's a bit naughty to request hints and tips.......better to suggest a location and await responses.. ;)
-
I don't think a boat would be any good, even in Saxon times, not that that's a clue.
TD sorry :no:
Good may be misleading you there, so forget 'A good place for' and forget 'about'.
-
You are looking for another word for 'messing'.
-
ps 4candles...it's a bit naughty to request hints and tips.......better to suggest a location and await responses.. ;)
:-[ Oops, sorry.
:hmm: Maybe it's not all that cryptic - there's a place called Messing near Colchester.
-
:no: Sorry.
See my previous clue.
-
One might say this when one was cleaning his masters stables!
-
Ah! A bulb lights!
Mucking, Thurrock ?
-
Hooray! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Over to the bright lights. 4candles.
-
Of course, all the refined people frequenting the forum were thinking of 'manure' not 'muck' ;)
Righto, orf we go... to
Prohibit very loudly
-
Depending on what sort of implement used, are we in Haltwhistle, Northumberland?
-
............or....... :hmm:
pianoforte..........quiet/loud.............forte (loud) usually abbreviated to ƒ ........
So loud = f.....very loud may be ff
prohibit = ban
:idea: ..........Banff up there in Moray.. :-\
-
Aye - TD does it again :clap: :clap: :clap:
Banff was once the county town of Banffshire, but is actually now towards the western edge of Aberdeenshire.
But Banff was correct - so over to the duck...

:no: sorry, but you are heading for the right part of the country.
-
Clapper - Cornwall ?

:no: sorry..........but correct county.. :)
Sounds like bell louder... ;)

:hmm: The only thing coming to mind is
Bow ? :-\
Mmmm.... not there yet :no: However this term is used to describe the curvature of the "bow" (and fret board) used in musical instruments. Also describes the curvature in a ships deck and for TD who depended upon this property to get airborne it describes "the asymmetry between the top and bottom curves of an aerofoil " .

OK, simple Saturday starter.
The god of the wild and nature took a ferry to get here.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Glamorgan..........Pancross :-\
-
Not quite TD, he needed the ferry and his name is shorter.
-
I think I might have confused myself here :'( .... but in folklore Herne was the god of vegetation ..... and you'd need a ferry to cross a bay .... So I'll try Herne Bay, Kent :-\ more FL than conviction :D
-
:no: :no:
TD almost had it, we are with the Greek gods here.
-
Well Gerry & the Pacemakers sang about a Ferry, but that's got nothing to do with gods and things.
Pancross is too long for the name so how's about Pan in Hampshire?
-
Well Gerry & the Pacemakers sang about a Ferry, but that's got nothing to do with gods and things.
Pancross is too long for the name so how's about Pan in Hampshire?
That'll do Colin .
:D Pan was the Greek god of the wild and nature, Pan is on the Isle of Wight hence the need for a ferry (or boat ).
-
Thank you for your kindness sir!
I still can't find Pan on the Isle of Wight and I have camped on the Island!
However, something a lot easier.
Sounds like getting dressed.

find an adder in this valley
-
Ooooooo .... my FL has clicked in :D
a Combe is a valley ..... there's an Abbas Combe, Somerset ... which sounds like abacus ?? :-\ so I wonder :hmm:
-
There is always the Nadder Valley in Wiltshire and Nadder is the old name for "adder".
-
:no: to both, I'm afraid........sorry.
-
Scottiesmum was on the right sort of track.......this adder does not hiss ;)
-
Could this be a counter, as in adder upper?
I'll have a guess at Countersett, North Yorkshire?
-
:no: sorry
>> adder upper << ;)
>> counter << :no:
-
Another way to add up is plus and upper is plush.
Are we in Plush, Dorset? :-\
-
:no: sorry
Season

:hmm: ...adder upper (as in shop)... till ?
In a valley, one would be 'low'...

Put nothing (O) in a burn.......are we in Cambridgeshire...Bourn :-\
-
The 'way' in the place name is solid -
but in the context of the clue we're looking at something having empty space inside.
-
I've often been called a Space Cadet so
Spaceport, Wallasey?

:no: sorry...

That's the one in Derbyshire if that is where we are.
-
:no: :no: sorry Colin .... you need this for the lock ;) ;) ;)
-
Well I keep coming up with a key, but which one?
If I need it then it could be Keycol in Kent, maybe?

Is it possible that is as simple as The Potteries, Staffs ? :-\
-
;D
:no: sorry...........these pots are not made of clay.. ;)

Maybe they clang when you bang them together.
You could hang them up at Panshanger in Hertfordshire.

:no: sorry again..........but you do have the correct type of vessel.. ;)

Could we be at Pan on the IOW ? :-\
-
or maybe Panhall, Fife? :-\

Yay.
On you go with the next clue, scottiesmum..........we haven't seen the FL at work for a while. :D

:D Thank you TD ... I hope I shan't disappoint >:D :D
This pivotal point sounds heavy.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Lancashire.........Wheelton :-\
-
:no: TD .... you need to get to the most crucial part ;)
-
Trying some FM logic here. The crucial part of a wheel is the hub.
To make it sound heavy we add a ton.
I can't find a Hubton but there is a Huberston in Pembrokeshire. Will that do? :-\
-
:hmm:
Another crucial element would be a king pin, so..............are we at Kington, in Herefordshire :-\
-
I've just found Spindlestone, Northumberland. :-\
-
:no: :no: to both I'm afraid ..... :D >:D >:D ..... no wheels involved ..... not a pivotal point in that sense :'(
you need to get to the - - - - of the matter ;)
-
Getting to the heart of the matter brings me to Hearthstone in Derbyshire?
-
:no: sorry Colin .... count the dashes ;)
if there are any cross Latin speakers - that will help ;) ;)
-
:idea: Aha...
Cruxton, Dorset?

Oooooooooooops I was sure I had replied to this ::) I must not have pressed post :'( Anyway, YES .... 4C you've arrived ;D :thumbs: :clap2:

Flush = poker Royal Flush...royal = regis
Are we at Lyme Regis... :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ... I think you've been transported to the wrong scales ;) and the flush is not Royal - a bit lower level ;) ;)
-
It needs more weighing up this one ......then you'll be ready for the crossing ;) ;) ( I'm wanting you to get this before I go :lol: )

:hmm:
Did you not used to get kitchen scales made by Avery...........are we at Avery Hill in Kent.. :-\

the cause of blistered feet perhaps.
-
Sharpstone, Somerset maybe? :-\
-
:no: sorry.
-
Could it be those ------ Cinders in Wrexham, Wales?
-
:no: sorry.
What do you use your feet for ? :hmm:
-
There are plenty of answers that contain walking
However there is only one Walker in Northumberland.
Could that be it?
-
:no: sorry
>>> Walker <<< ;) but what about the cause of a blister..?
-
:(
The Shoe.
There's one of them in Wiltshire, where the other is I don't know.
Is that why there is blisters, only one shoe? ::)
-
:no: sorry.
:D ................the blister cause could also be a Scottish stream. ;)
-
In that case I have a choice of four places called Burnfoot.
All in Scotland.
Ayrshire,
Lanarkshire,
Roxburghshire,
Dumfriesshire.
Is it any one of these?
-
:no: sorry.
We have Walker and now we have Burn ..........take it from there.. :D
-
:lol:
If I put them together I get Walkerburn. There is one of them in a place called Peeblesshire.
I'm finding places I never knew existed. :)

You get this when there is no work for you.
And I don't mean elbow.
-
Sorry for the lack of response, ss44.........not firing on all cylinders today. Bear with me please.
-
No need to apologies TD. I trust you are feeling OK?
-
I'm sorry again, ss44,......I'm baffled with this one.. :(
-
It's my turn to apologies now, sorry to keep you waiting.
If there is now work for you are said to be redundant, or if there is no money to finish a project it is said to be given the chop. Think of another word for chop and redundancy.
-
I hope you don't have one of these to grind when you work out where I am! :)
-
You are pointing us at Axe/Ax .........but I cannot see an Australian connection, or a river connection... :-[
-
Axe is the river.
The connection is the river.
There is no Australian connection.
The original clue was 'Now this place sounds like it should be in Australia.'
-
The first part of the name rhymes with Whoopeee. ;D
-
There isn't a hole lot more I can say. ;)
-
:hmm:
Wookey/ Wookey Hole......in Somerset. :-\
-
Ooooo! I made you work for that one TD :D
Over to you.
-
Phew! ;D
Was searching along the wrong River Axe... :-[
okes........a bit simpler.
Used to convey Molly's wares perhaps.
-
Tricky one this as there are many Barrows to choose from.
I'm going to be a bit morbid here and say Barrow Gurney, Wiltshire?
-
:no: sorry.
>> Barrows << :no:
-
Wares being conveyed would be wares in transit.... ;)
-
A wild guess at Mail, Shetland?
I've no idea about Molly though.
-
:no: sorry.
Maybe my last hint should have read "in Transit"
Identify Molly's wares... ;)
-
Well if this is the same Molly from Dublin's fair city then here wares would be shellfish, in particular cockles & muscles.
The Transit van of course is/was manufactured by The Ford motor company.
The only place I can find that puts Molly & Transit together is
................. Fisherford in Aberdeenshire :-\
-
:no: sorry.........but you are very nearly there.
>> cockle << ;)
-
:doh:
I have looked and looked and missed
Cockleford, Gloucestershire.
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay.that's the place.
Back to you.
-
About time too.
Nice and simple.
Only the meek live here.
-
:hmm:
Are we in Staffs..........Gentleshaw :-\
-
Good answer, but not the right one. Sorry :no:
-
:hmm:
TD wonders if this is a biblical reference..."The meek shall inherit the earth".
Are we in Sussex........Eartham :-\
-
Sorry. :no:
Nothing as deep as that.
Think of opposite.
-
:hmm:
Could we be at Humbleton, in Yorkshire... :-\
-
I seem to have confused you again. :(
Perhaps the clue should be there is only the cowardly that live in this place.
-
:hmm:
Fritham, in Hampshire..... :no:
-
Not much faith in your answer then TD. You are correct :no:
I assume you are using your thesaurus?
If not then it would be very helpful for you. :)
-
???
There are none that are brave.
-
:hmm:
Are we at Craven Park, in Middlesex :-\
-
Oh dear! You are wide of the mark here.
We don't want any of that 2 in 1 washing powder here. :)
-
:idea:
Nobold, in Shropshire... :hmm:
-
Clean as a whistle. :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Back to you tuftedduck.
-
Yay...woohooo... ;D
ok easypeasy one.
the younger or the elder ?
-
Mornin' all - nice to be back. :)
Would this be our erstwhile PM -
Pitt, Hampshire? :-\
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Nice to see you back, 4candles.......and straight in with the winner to boot. ;D
Over to you.
-
Whoopee :)
The holiday must have done me good.
Apropos - next up is where I've been for the last week -
Go into tune and stir.
-
:hmm:
Have you been up north.....to Tongue.. :-\
-
Aye, just in time to catch the Indian summer. :)
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Round to the Tufted one...
-
Yay... ;D
okes.....easy one.
bugs
-
A quick stab here........... Pested, Kent?
-
:no: sorry
-
Maybe your bugs are nits as in Nitshill, Renfrewshire?
-
:no: sorry............we need a bit more animation.. :)
-
I could get harassed with this.
Maybe that's it ............. Harass in Cumberland?
-
:no: sorry.
Consult the Doctor. ;)
-
Mumps, Lancashire? :)
-
:D ......but sorry, :no:
bugs+animated+what's up Doc.. ;)
-
:doh:
I thought of this as soon as I saw the clue but never looked for it.
Bunny, Nottinghamshire?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Yay...that's the boy.
Back to you.
-
That'll teach to not overlook the obvious.
OK.
A small cofferdam.
-
A bit of a stinker eh!
-
:hmm:
cofferdam... in the widest sense... a barrier
as in U-bend aka S-trap ?
long shot then... Trap, Carmarthenshire? :-\
-
Welcome back 4candles. Sorry but no.
Right in thinking of cofferdam as a barrier, however it was used mainly for casting. A small one had another name.
-
:hmm:
Casting and smelly together makes me think of making pig iron. The molten metal is run through channels dug in sand...so..........
are we in Gloucestershire....Sandpits.. :-\
-
Sorry :no:
Used in civil engineering mainly, but certainly used in casting also.
>> Smelly << ;)
-
Well it was smelly yesterday!
-
:hmm:
Friday...smelly...casting....= fish, perhaps.
Cofferdam, barrier round fish pond...
Fishguard.... :-\
-
Oh dear! :no:
Nothing to do with it being Friday nor particularly with fish. Just it was smelly.
The same word also refers to a small cofferdam.
-
:idea:
Stank, Lancs?
-
:clap: :clap2: :thumbs: :thumbs:
You got it.
Over to 4candles.
-
Zipper D Doo-dah!
Educational this thread innit? ;D
Onward & upward then -
Melodic phrase after backward groove.
-
A rift could be a melodic phrase.
I don't know where the backward groove comes from, but there is a place called ... Drift in Cornwall.
-
:no: sorry
A rift could be a melodic phrase.
Well, almost. ;)
-
Aha! got my thinking head on now.
A groove could be a rut & a melodic phrase would be a riff.
A backward rut gives us tur & put riff after that and we have ............. Turriff, Aberdeenshire.
-
Your thinking head is correct. :thumbs:
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
SS44 to go...
-
Yaaah! I must sleep in more often.
A nice easy one for a Sunday morning.

This might be easy, but there again. ::)

:hmm:

Rockbeare, Devon? :fingers:
-
Just from the top of my head .... is there a place called Hardale in somewhere like Yorkshire ?
-
@ ss44 ......sorry, :no:
@ scottiesmum............ooooh, so very close. Think of hard as a verb eg harden, then try the past tense.. ;) ale is good, as I am sure unkyUb will agree.
-
Perhaps it's Hardendale, Westmorland ?
-
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
No perhaps about it......and over to you.

Phew! Could do with a drink after that. :)
OK then. Easy peasy, and I mean that.

Seeing as you have missed a few. You can have as many guesses as you like.

Over to you Kate.

Which was the correct answer Colin ? Here, I lend you a smile ;D :D

Warm Lake, was the correct answer. Thank you for the smile. Mine are working again now. :)
-
:hmm: swamp fever perhaps....
are we in Hampshire...........Swampton :-\
-
:no: sorry TD
-
Taking a taxi would be a start ;)
-
Taxis sometimes start from a rank.
If you ate something that was rank you may get fever.
All I can find is Rankinston in Ayreshire. Is that the place?
-
:hmm:
taxi = cab........cabin fever...... Are we in Shropshire, Cabin :-\
-
Sorry Colin :( TD caught the taxi and found the destination ;D :clap2: :clap2: over to you TD :)

The nearest so far is Dragonby in Lincolnshire. Will that one do?

Sorry for the confusion.

Think of another word for rush and the think of something that sounds like it. ;)

-
:idea:
Butts, Devon? :-\
-
:no: but I love the water connection :D

-
Have you all lost your maps ? :lol:
I've just looked at the Google Map and to be honest unless you know where it is ..... it is rather difficult to find :-[ However it is mentioned on the Gazetter.
You need to be out to sea-----far north .... there's a rather large place named after a pony ................ then paddle out to "a small egg from the sturgeon " ..... well perhaps paddle is the wrong word ;D
someone please find it :D
-
A new deer could be said to be small.
So .............. Newdeer, Aberdeenshire?

:hmm:
A sea girt pony leads me to Shetland........but the only fish egg and/or deer connection I can spot is Muckle Roe.....but muckle means big, a lot not little.....

You could find a hot clue on a bun at Easter.

Wey Hey!
This sounds like its half muddled up.
Sort of half upside down.
-
It's nearly the name of a type of gardening. ;)
Come on Scottiesmum. ;D
-
Maybe Arthur Sullivan & W. S. Gilbert could help. ;)
-
Ooooooo gosh Colin ..... :'( I've gone from semi -- to vines, to Mikado ... and I'm still lost ;D I shall persevere - until TD pops up with the correct answer :D
-
I was only trying to help. :-X
You were nearly there with Mikado, but it needs to be a bit younger.
-
TD is baffled, I'm afraid...... ???
-
Sorry for baffling and being late on parade.
Scotties mum was nearly there when putting Gilbert & Sullivan together.
Think of an earlier production than Mikado and take half of that title.
Find a place that sounds like one half.
It is also a kind of gardening.
I hope that helps.
-
Well, perhaps my lunchy today will help my grey matter ;D
I've settled on TRIal by Jury for the GS link ---- the half bit has me baffled ... but I know there is a form of gardening called Triangle Gardening ..... and there's a place called Triangle in W.Yorkshire (Colin-land :D ) ...... so I'll try that ,with not a lot of confidence ;D)
-
And you worked so hard on that. :no: Sorry.
There is another type of gardening which is also called upside down. There is a planter with the same name. There is also a Gilbert & Sullivan Opera which is a sort of biography and superseded Mikado. The name of all these things as two syllables, you just need one of them. ;D
-
Late into the fray (HNY everyone, I've been away for over two weeks)...
There's an extra 'e' in it, but are we possibly in Turvey, Bedfordshire?
-
Happy New Year 4candles.
Straight in with the correct answer.
Over to you. :thumbs:

Woohooo!
Nice to be back :)
OK then -
A quick swim in theatrical part
-
Well glad you shed light on that 4C :D can you explain the answer please ...my head hurts ;D
and a quick guess at your clue 4C could we be in Dippenhall, Surrey ? Dip ... quick swim .. in hall -- place where theatrical act may tale place :-\
-
Er, well, as SS44 intimated, Topsy Turvy is an upside down gardening method, a planter used for such, and the name of a 1999 G & S bio-pic. Take one term - voila!
Dip - yep, keep that in mind
Theatrical part - think of the performance rather than the building... ;)
-
:doh: with the G&S link, but I have never heard of Topsy Turvy gardening ! I've just 'oogled' ;D and have seen the TT planters, never heard of those before either :'( good clue though Colin :)
back to the dipping ;D
-
Sounds like you may be on a roll there scottiesmum... ;)

What about Dipley, Hants ... Dip .... in a role you play someone ... pley - play ? perhaps :-\ :)

'The' usually means definite.
article could be anything, so I'll start with 'Pludds', that has to be an article.
Guess number one ................ The Pludds, Devon. :lol:

In grammar "The" is the definite article............ :graduate:
As to the rest............well, sorry :no:

Are we looking for somewhere called THE?
I can't find one. :)

First word is The, second word is ;)a puzzle

Woohooo.......that's the place, and over to you.

Phew! that took some thinking about.
Sounds like an American exclamation followed by a bug farm.
A lot of help there for you.
-
let's start with farm, think of a generalization of the word. It's what you work on as a farmer. ;)
-
Drop the GEE and start looking for the bug on the farm. Have a nice day y'all. ;D
-
A bit more help for you. The bug you are looking for is:-
Any of various small, biting, two-winged flies, such as a biting midge or black fly. ;)
-
I love all your clues on this one Colin ;D didn't get time to 'work' on it yesterday ... will have a try today ... :) now where to start ;D
-
Well Colin ..... I'm looking at Gnat .... for the bug .... G at the beginning of Gnat for Gee ...... and land for farm .... SO is there a place called Gnatland in the UK ? It's a start :D
-
This is a puzzler..... :hmm:
Farmers generally work "on the land".
Gnat.......sounds like = nat
So could we be at Natland, in Cumbria....... :-\

Sorry Scottiesmum :no: ,maybe next time.

-
:D
:hmm:
Are we in Lancashire..........Far End :-\

As far north as Sutherland perhaps...........Farr :-\
-
That's exactly where we are TD :thumbs: :clap2: I like a long trek ;D
-
Yay....woohooo....... ;D
okes...Saturday Simples
young flower close at hand

Hey !!! ;D
Sounds like this place might choke you ;)

:hmm:
Are we in Hampshire.............Tye.. :-\
-
:no: sorry TD ..... choke on the inside ;)
-
:hmm:
Are we at Frogham, in Kent.. :-\
-
:no: sorry again TD >:D
Don't forget sounds like ! a late royal might give you help ;)
-
The Queen of Hearts made some tarts, I think and she would be late now.
So Tarts Hill, Flintshire. :lol:
That's all I can think of.
-
:lol: I've only just spotted this :P It's not Tarts Hill ;D
A little more fishing necessary I think ;)
-
coooeee !!! :'(
-
I'm at a total loss.
I keep coming back and going over the clues, but I'm no wiser.
We haven't heard from 4candles nor TD. :shrug2:
-
:hmm: :shrug2: :hmm: :shrug2: :hmm:.......
-
Oh dear .... I can't have completely foxed you all >:D
OK start again ... this place sounds like something that would choke you. A late royal had a similar problem ......choking on something that sounds like this place >:D
-
I think I'd better give you the answer on this one, otherwise we won't move on .... :'(
The place is Fishbourne, W.Sussex Sounds like fish bone ----the late Queen mother once choked on a fish bone .....
I'll leave it someone to pick up from here .....
-
Well I admit to forgetting about that incident. I have been looking for some-one who choked to death.
A very good clue that was.
Have another go I say.
-
Aye, we were too dumb to get it, so have another go say I too.
-
OK then, if you're sure ..... :)
An easy peasy .....
Discover Lttle Boy Blue's property !
-
Ah! that's more like it for me.
Little boy blue come blow your horn.
Findhorn, Morayshire :fingers:
-
Yes, you have it Colin :clap2: :clap2: over to you :)
-
Thank you.
One from the good old days.
Show me the way to go home.
-
I'll try Point Clear, Essex ? :-\ without conviction ;D
-
sorry :no:
>> Point << is of help though.
-
:hmm:...compasses have points...and show the way
Are we in Compass, Somerset? :-\
-
They do indeed, but the place I have in mind doesn't have points. Sorry :no:
>> show the way << very helpful, maybe more helpful than points.
-
Oh dear!
I'll give you another clue.
Half of the name is the same as those red things you used to put letters in, before email took over. ;)
-
The other half you might find on a double decker bus. ;D
Open top one.
-
There can't be a place called Pillarbox Sightseer :no: (even in Yorkshire :lol: )
-
:lol:
What one puts in the pillarbox might help, and the postman puts through your letter box. No not junk mail.
Not the person doing the sightseeing.
::)
-
:idea: Guide Post, Northumberland ? perhaps :-\
-
Yipee! :thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
You needed a guide to get you there. ;D
Over to you scottiesmum.
-
I certainly did Colin .... :doh:
This place is almost a snooze !
-
:idea:
Nappa, Yorkshire? :D
-
:no: sorry Colin ..... on the right track though :)
-
Don't forget the almost ...which indicates sounds like ... hth .... ;D
-
:hmm:
Are we perchance in Sleap, Shropshire?
-
We surely are 4C ;D :clap2: :clap2: :thumbs:
-
Yay! :)
Reduce ore deposit
-
:hmm: :idea:
lower = reduce,
ore deposit = pit.
Lower Pitkerrie, Ross-shire?
-
First bit's right ;)
-
Aaaah! Crafty eh!
Let's try ...................... Lower Lode, Gloucestershire?
-
:thumbs: That's the one...
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Back to you...
-
Oooooweee!
This is the place to begin.

-
Right second time ;D
:clap: :clap: :clap:

Almost a wizard sport :angel:
-
:hmm:
A wizard... Harry Potter? Sport... Quidditch?
Sound a bit like
Quidnish, Inverness-shire?
-
Oh you are nearly there 4C .... but not quite .... You've identified the correct wizard but almost means it's a lot nearer than Quidnish ..... much, much further south .... >:D
-
:hmm: Er...
Quidenham, Norfolk?
-
:no: sorry .... further south ..... mmmmm a cream tea might help geographically ;)
Only a tiny difference with Quidditch - there's zero in it ;) ;)
-
Oooh arrrrh
Quoditch, Devon, then, b'aint it?
-
OUI eeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! ;D :clap2: :thumbs: :clap2:
-
Whoooo-yay :)
Could be 5p, or 7½p, 10p, 12½p....etc
-
Could be 5p, or 7½p, 10p, 12½p....etc
For the removal of any doubt...
p = pence
-
15 Feb '71 ;)
-
I'd have bet half a bob this would be cracked by now... ;)
-
Well I can't find a place called sixpence, but there is a place called ............. Tanners in Lancashire.
Scottiesmum should know that one.
-
Tanners it is :thumbs:
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Round to you...
-
Well I was trying to put it all in perspective of LSD. (£.s.d) Just in case some authority is monitoring. ;D
This one sounds like it should have been mended a while ago.
-
Sorry I forgot that it was my turn.
Anyway this has to do with water.
-
:wall: I've been trying to solve this one ;D
This one sounds like it should have been mended a while ago.
-
Wales might be of help. ;)
and I don't mean it is in Wales.
-
:hmm: ...a water leak?
Are we in Leek, Staffs?
-
Afraid not :no: >:D
You seem to be making hard work of this.
A water leak is the sounds like bit ;)
It has been in need of a mend for sometime now so it will be _ _ _.
-
Well it's not new is it?
-
Er, Old, Northants?
-
>> old << Yes
Northants :no:
A water leak is the sounds like bit. ;D
-
:idea:
Ah - Old Leake, Lincs?
-
I'm glad you plugged that one. :thumbs: :clap2: :clap2: :dance:
Over to you 4candles.
-
Phew - brain must be fading :doh:
Onwards & upwards, then, to -
Tabloid building block
-
The tabloid is a particular newspaper...
-
Sunbrick, Cumbria ? :-\
-
Yay :dance: that's the one
:clap: :clap: :clap:
Round to you...
-
Wheeeeeee! :)
This planet looks sickly !
-
bump !! ;D
-
Oops! did you trip over Scottie?
I've been busy coding. Spending time in the conservatory so will give it some thought now. :D
-
:hmm:
In Hertfordshire there's a Venus Hill ?? :-\
-
:no: sorry 4C >:D
-
Green is a sickly colour so.
Earthcott Green, Gloucestershire?
-
Correct colour Colin, but wrong planet .............but, getting warmer ;)
-
Is that big yellow duster that you have :sun:
Sun Green, Cheshire?
-
;D
That's the place Colin :clap2: :thumbs: (I thought you'd guess my yellow duster would be involved :D )
-
Thank you for shining it on us Yesterday & today. :D
This place sounds like a Martian that came to a sticky end.
-
A bit of a coincidence but this follows on from Scottiesmum's place.
It's the same colour anyway. ;)
-
The Martians are confusing me .... but I have found a place called Custards in Hampshire ;D Well it's sticky and it's yellow :D but is it the place ? :-\
-
:lol: :no:
Yellow is not the same colour as green, is it?
Aliens from Mars were portrayed as being little green men. Well they were when I was little one.
That should help you quite a lot.
-
:lol: I thought you meant it was the same planet as my yellow duster ::) :-[ :D off to try again ...
-
:hmm:...well, I suppose a Martian would come to a sticky end if burnt...
Greenburn, West Lothian? :-\
-
He most certainly would, but not on this occasion. Sorry :no:
You could say he forgot to slow down upon arrival.
-
It's in the land of tin mines. ;)
-
:idea: Ah, Greensplat, Cornwall?
-
Oh 'arr it be sir. :thumbs: :clap2:
Over to you 4candles.
-
Oh well done 4C .... I had a mental block on that one ;D
-
Whoopee! :dance:
Onwards, then, to -
The French friend
-
It's one word...
comprising...
The French friend
-
Here goes with Franche, Worcestershire.
Sounds French to me.
-
:no: sorry
The (in French) friend
One word - 5 letters
-
The word 'the' in French
A synonym for 'friend'
Together they make...
-
Friend, buddy, chum, mate, television broadcast standard... ;)
-
Is that the palindrome in Worcestershire?
Lapal ?
-
Yay! Hah! Wow!
It is indeed :thumbs:
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Take it away SS44...
-
Okey Dokey!
You would expect to see the name of this place up on a hill.
-
Are we still in Worcestershire -
Hollywood?
-
That was easy then. :clap2: :thumbs:
Back to you 4candles.
-
Wahay :)
Next up...
Immature lumber

-
Ah Ha!

-
Indeed, quite so! :thumbs:
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
2 U again...
-
Weeeee!, We are getting through these now.
See how long this lasts.
Poor judgement!
-
Especially when playing poker. :)
-
:idea:
Not a poker player, but they say 'Call' in the movies...
...so are we in Badcall, Sutherland?
-
It's not a badcall for you though.
Well done! :thumbs: :thumbs:
It's all yours.
-
Wahay :)
Onwards, then, to -
Liquefy on PC
Edit: that was done recently - another coming up...
Sounds like an accessory to complement one's suit
-
:hmm: maybe 'complement' is the wrong word...
Sounds like an accessory to go with one's suit
-
I'm a touch busy at the mo. Will give it some thought later. Maybe someone else will step in.
-
Time to think now.
Tye, Hampshire?
-
Ooooh, almost.
It goes particularly well with one's suit. ;)
-
Ooooh! I would look a real dapper with a
Matching Tye. Like the one I found in Essex.
-
:hmm: Suits you sir ;D
It's back to you...
-
Why, thank you for the compliment.
Be careful you don't fall over when visiting this place.
-
You might do this if you stub your toe on the pavement edge.
-
or going downhill. ;)
-
Still pondering :wall:
I'm sure there's a relevant word which is eluding my brain at the moment...
-
You only need the one word, and it's a verb.
Toddlers often do this.
-
Do I remember a place called Tumbledown in the UK or have I dreamed it ? :-\
-
Ooooooh so very close.
Shorten your recollection. Scottiesmum. ;)
-
Just dropping off last night and the word 'stumble' popped into my head :idea:
Taking off the 's' - could we be in
Tumble, Carmarthenshire?
-
:doh: I bet that's the one 4C ;D
-
Yaaaahhh! You bet right Kate.
Over to you 4candles.
-
Wooohooo :)
Oft we go then -
An additional 25%
-
Putting things up again eh!
I see a Further Quarter in Kent.
Will that do?
-
That'll do nicely!
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Back to you...
-
Whey Hey!
Just messing about.
-
One word and it's a verb.
-
It's a bit like cleaning out the stables. ;)
-
Our minds are too pure to think that way :o
Are we Mucking (about) in Essex?
-
Well we used to call it lakeing when I was a youngster, no doubt it would be something else in Scotland.
However it has led you to the right place. :thumbs: :clap2: :thumbs:
Back to you.
-
When I was in the Midlands it was 'spuddling' - haven't come across a Scots equivalent.
Any road up, off now to -
Higher killing
-
Well ..... Isn't 'topping' is a slang word for killing --- ? :-\ .... If So .... Top is also -high ... :'( So I'm going for Topham, near Doncaster ;D
-
:no: sorry
Perhaps more ML than FL for this one? :-\
-
Upper Battlefield, Shropshire?
There should be plenty of killing there.
-
First word's right :)
Battlefield - not so specific as that ;)
-
Upper Slaughter, Gloucestershire?
Plenty of killing going on there.
-
Probably quite a bit in Lower Slaughter too ;D
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
'Tis round to you again...
-
Whoopee :graduate:
It sounds as though one could purchase a male servant in this place.
-
:hmm:
Sounds like one could deposit or borrow a butler -
maybe buy one too -
Butlersbank, Shropshire? :-\
-
Good idea, but :no: sorry.
Maybe not such a refined male. More generalised.
-
Is there a place called Gofer ? :lol:
-
There IS a place called Vallay in the Western Isles ... Vallay - Valet ? :-\
-
OR ... Manby in Lincolnshire ? ... Man buy ;D
-
Oooo! you have been working hard.
:thumbs: :clap: :clap2:
Manby it is. Your FL won through this time.
Over to you Scottiesmum.
-
Whey hey .... ;D
OK .... this is almost like a European royal household, but more cheerful !
-
If this is a reference to the Royal Household of France and the like the 'Maison du Roi' something or other, then maybe
Mason in Northumberland would come close.
-
No :no: sorry Colin - not France >:D try a yodel ;)
-
:hmm: yodel...Swiss?...
Perhaps we're in Happisburgh, Norfolk?
-
Well I was thinking of Austria (do they yodel there :'( :D ) but you found the correct place 4C :clap: :clap:
-
Yodellayeeeeee! :)
A card game, yes, no
-
Anyone on board going to peg this one? ;)
-
There's an awful lot of bridges to go through. ;D
-
No bridges involved ;)
-
15-2, 15-4, 15-6... ;)
-
The card game is popular in pubs, and there are teams which play in leagues.
-
Is there a place called Cribbage in the UK ? ( I love cribbage - the game :) )
-
I've found a place called Cribyn in Wales ...... so I suppose if you've been playing cribbage, you've been cribbin' ;D - is that the place ? :-\
-
Card game - crib
Yes, no - yn
You got there anyway :clap: :clap: :clap:
so round to you scottiesmum
-
I missed the yn part of your clue, I only started at the second post "Anyone on board going to peg this one" ::) my mouse wheel was on turbo ;D
whey hey quand même ;D
OK ..... this place is a pain in the neck !
-
I can think of a number of reasons why one get a pain in the neck, none on here mind you. ;D
However I will start with ............. Crick, either Northamptonshire or Monmouthshire.
If it's neither you get to shake your head twice.
-
It is Crick in Northants Colin ......so :thumbs: :clap2: :thumbs: ..... and over to you :)
-
That was a lucky guess.
A very short clue now ........... persuade.
-
:hmm: persuade... maybe...

Round to SS
-
Have a nice trip. 4C.
This sounds like a small jacket.
-
It's the size that comes before small, a bit bigger than tiny, but smaller than small.
-
I'll try Little Coates, Lincs. :-\ without a lot of hope ;D
Ooooooooooo I've just found Littlecote in Bucks .... which makes it singular ! so I'll try that too ;D

Littlecote is the one. :clap2: :clap2: :clap:
Over to you Scottiesmum

Salt, Staffs? :-\
-
:clap2: :clap: You 'pinched' it 4C ;)
-
Not a Lot, so I hope I won't be pilloried. ;D
Righto, off to -
Where you'll find Bow Street, Marlborough Street and Vine Street?
-
Well ..... they all feature on a Monopoly Board and if I remember correctly, that was a Waddington's game .... so I shall try Waddington, Lancashire :-\
-
On the right lines, but :no: sorry...
Those streets are in a group... ;)
-
...just before Free Parking ;)
-
Are we looking for Mayfair in Middlesex?
-
:no:
Mayfair's a blue property on the opposite corner of the board ;)
-
Well we will try Strand which could be the one in Gloucestershire,
but there again it could be the one in Middlesex.
But there again it could be neither.
-
:hmm: I guess no one has a Monopoly board to hand?
The streets named in the clue are in a group, and it's not brown, light blue, purple, red, yellow, green or dark blue.
Starting from 'Go', it's at the end of the second straight.
-
Right I've been in the loft and dug under 50 years of stuff to get the board out. ;D
Orange Row, Norfolk. :swoon:
-
Yay! Do not go to jail. Collect £200!

-
Nice try that one, but :no:
Where else would you get cash from?
-
Wife? ;D
-
:no: :no: That's the deposit side. :)
-
ATM ;)
-
:idea:
:doh: I was thinking of ATM yesterday, but only just thought of the term

It could - and it is! :)
:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
Round to you, comrade...

;D Whoopee.
This name sounds like an irate natatorium.
I think there is only two of us left in this game now. :(
-
Aye, looks like it's just me and thee. :(
Seems there have been ructions over yonder while I wasn't looking... ???
Och well, there's education here - I'd not heard of a natatorium before...
but it's apparently t'do wiv swimmin' & that...
so I'm going for
Crosspool, in GOC of Yorks.
-
Nothing like a good thesaurus, I'd never heard of the word before.
Anyways it's got you to the right answer. :thumbs: :clap:
Without further ado, it's over to you.
