[snakie81]

thank you for all your answers and help
last one i promise
45 mild or bitter large area

[factor-fiction]

Is there anything else in clue 45?
There are a couple of artists with the surname Bousefield (sounds ike booze, field)
I think mild/bitter is more likely to be ale (or maybe beer) but I can't think of an artist

[factor-fiction]

Sorry- spelling is Bousfield

[factor-fiction]

Sorry, snakie- I thought this would be quite easy but I've had a mental block. The answer may come to me while I'm out walking/shopping.
I'll look back in later.
Big area could be acre, country, sea...

[factor-fiction]

Before I go, I thought of this but held back a sit seemed weak- but I haven't found anything better
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alisha_(singer)
The reasoning: Ale + Asia

There have been other singers with similar names (not just Alesha Dixon and Alicia Keys but there was Alisha's Attic and one spelt something like Aleyshia
