Bill Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'd have a go Bill but seems some folk have beat me to it Theres still eight answers to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 6. Abbey National 8. Debenhams 12. WH Smiths 14. Rhubarb 16. Superdrug 19. Saxone Have to say this one's not up to your usual standards Bill. Very poor clues for a lot of them.....they're neither cryptic or simple. EG 16. Deb and hams fine but there's no reason from the clue to put in en. 7. The clue gives you Mothercares, not Mothercare. 12. No clue for the WH. Don't know where you got them from but the setter needs work . Edit: 15 must be C & A....but again not very good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And must have been simple for you and everyone else if you got them all. Oooer....don't get in a pickle Bill . Not having a go mate, just expressing an opinion. If someone puts a funny joke in the joke thread people will say, "That's a good joke!" If a not very funny joke is posted people might say, "Get yer coat!" Same applies here. Simple doesn't mean good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I know your just passing an opinion, but its not the 1st time you've done it. All the clues have led people to the right answers, so they must have been good enough. Perhaps i've done it long enough now anyway, so i'll bow out and leave it to you to provide the perfect Quiz. Thanks to all those who joined into the spirit of things, and had a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
