Stones Middleton quiz

[TheWinner]

is there a theme?

[andrewc]

Sorry this should say stoney Middleton. It’s my last clue. The subject is bonfire night. I think the answer is treacle toffee. I get the toffee but not the treacle. Thanks.

how does it parse jim !!

[JimF]

Still working on that! I may be wrong, but it was all I could find that fitted the pattern and the theme.

Toffee is definitely correct for the second word.

Treacle would work as an anagram if it read

"E(astern) cLeat (with) r(ight)"

[Sam1960]

It would L-in K

"setters error" maybe ... !!

Hope this finds you well ; ))

[andrewc]

Thank you lie in king. That was exactly what I hoped new eyes might see. I think there have been a couple of other errors this year (which isn’t usually the case).

[Lie-in King]

Glad I could help - if it's right! Good luck, Andrew :-)

[Lie-in King]

I wondered why I'd left this tab open...

Sam - my apologies, I'd intended to post & forgot! Thank you, I'm ok, there are good days & bad days & this is one of them :-) I hope you & yours are well?

Apologies to Andrew for the extra traffic.
