Please can you help me again on my final clue. Herd (6lts) d?o?e?. The only word I can think of is drover! Many thanks. Four Clubs

[Tilly2]

Droves?

[Four Clubs]

Thank you. I did wonder about droves but not really sure, Tilly2. Four Clubs

[Mamyalynne]

Looks like the clue should have been plural to give the answer Tilly has suggested.

Setter error.

[Tilly2]

It would be better if the clue said, herds, wouldn't it, four clubs.?

[Four Clubs]

Thank you also, Mamyalynne. Four Clubs

[Four Clubs]

My sentiments also, Tilly2. Thank you also divebuddy. I think it will end up with a toss of a coin!! Four Clubs

[Tilly2]

I think divebuddy has it...droved(as a verb).

[Mamyalynne]

Wouldn't that be synonymous with 'Herded'?

[Mamyalynne]

My head hurts now.

[Tilly2]

My herd hurts too. :-)

[Tilly2]

We have been droved to distraction!

[Mamyalynne]

I herd that!

[Four Clubs]

I can't compete with those witty remarks. Thank you all again for your input. Four Clubs

[Tilly2]

Good luck, Four Clubs. :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Groannnnnnnnnnnn!


Good luck Four.

[Tilly2]

Couldn't find the proper one!

[novalis]

Have been cowed into submission but I think droves rather than droved. It is more likely "s" will have been omitted from a clue than "ed". Sorry to put my horn in.

[Tilly2]

That's an udder view of it, novalis.
