1. Vowel, not much fat, either ____, angry
2. Metropolis, Game
3. King Arthur's team's crossing
4. Yodeller's chalet
5. Mouldered line
6. 12 point stag, number, bad actor
7. e.g. Budgie's enclosure. Shank's pony

I don't know London, so doubt I could help much except for 28 I think Cats noise = Mews

[fiction-factory]

Agreed Tuvok. I suggested that on 13th January. I think Mews is the second word. I'll let the OP have a go at cracking the Queen related word

[fiction-factory]

Look again at Jurassic Skyline- it's miles out (and miles from London). The stubborn animal is a mule. There is a much better word for illicit looks than skyline (never heard the term used for that). Clue- do you keep a diary?

[fiction-factory]

So have you not got "Unused. G.B. country. 3 feet "?

[buzybee3]

Hi, ive already handed the quiz in last week, so i just thought i would share my answers and if anyone can help with some feedback on my answers i would be really grateful, thanks again,

[fiction-factory]

Where was it handed into please? What was the closing date?

[buzybee3]

Yes, the answer to Unused. G.B. country. 3 feet is New Scotland Yard, and i think the answer to Do the Queens Cats make theses noses here is: The Royal Mews and for Rose! i think the answer might be Eros because of the Statue of Eros and for the St Bartholomews Church answer i meant to put St Bartholomews Hospital. Also, the 26. Our stubborn beast. Takes an illicit look! question the is one im really not sure about,

[buzybee3]

Unfortunately i dont know who it was handed into as i was completing it for someone and i dont know the exact closing date i just gave it back last week, once i receive it back though i will update you all with the answers but i was just wanting to share my answers with you with some help and feedback for my answers,

[fiction-factory]

I can't get 26 either but I I think my diary hint earlier should get you most of the way there

[Mamyalynne]

Stamforth Bridge team. Earthenware.

Stamford ???

Chelsea Pottery

Glad it's finished - good luck.

[fiction-factory]

I suppose "D.D. Pickle. Answer: The Jam " could also be The Cure as both bands were from close to London. But I think it' more likely to be a building. I've heard it described as the 'Anne Summers' building due to its shape

[Captain2]

Saxifrage, has been handed down to us. Answer: Stonehenge

Last time I looked Stonehenge wasn't quite in London!


(Mamya, glad or relieved?)

[Mamyalynne]

Both ;-)

"Compass point, monastery church. Entrance… Answer: Westminster Abbey"
Might be right but I don't see how to get Abbey from 'entrance'

[fiction-factory]

"Parading eg vermillion. Answer: walking the line"
No. Think what vermilion (one L) is an example of.

Think of another word for parading (think military)

[fiction-factory]

>"D.A. Abbreviate saint. Edifice. Answer: the monument "

I'm not at all sure about The Monument. I think it's more likely to start with The St... again.
Edifice does = monument but it doesn't explain the rest of the clue as far as I can see.

Many of your answers look okay though

[buzybee3]

Thankyou for the feedback, i was unsure about a few of the answers but i think the rest are fine, i cant think of the answer to the monument question though,

[fiction-factory]

>"Compass point, monastery church. Entrance… Answer: Westminster Abbey"
Could just as easily be something to do with WestMinster Cathedral (compass point+ monastery+church) but you stilll need to use the 'entrance' part of the clue. I am pretty sure the entrance is a Gate. The answer I'm thinking of doesn't use the word for church other than the minster bit
