Has anyone got 50.....Part of South American Port (5)

and can anyone explain why No 41's answers is Deckchairs for " These were rearranged on the Titanic, so we hear" (10)

Thanks

[Trussell]

Yes. I googled "South American Ports" and went down the list. I was quite amused to see the answer there as we do not pronouned the article in the same way.

I do not know why deckchairs was suggested for the Titanic.

I need nos 24 - Lonely Middle age ladies may be here (5) 48. - Cover for a best seller? (8) and
29.- Get ready for golf (6) - could this be teacup?
also is no 8 Newbury? ( Used for breakfast in a town with a race course? (7)

Trussell, I've got Shelf for number 24 and Settee for number 29. Can you, or anyone else, help with number 1: Not quite so far (4). Thanks.

BTW, Trussell, I posted some answers that you were asking for in the Wragby quiz thread Left Peg started yesterday. Hope you saw them and they were some help to you.

Hi, Poodledoo. I saw your other thread asking for the Pendleside answers to be emailed to you. If you understandably don't want to give your email address out, you could try emailing the compiler. He usually gives his email address out with the quiz sheets. Alternatively, if you only want a few answers, I dn't mind posting them up here for you.

Thank you, Juliefer. I have sofa for no.1 - not quite SO FAr.
no, I have not yet seen the Wragby quiz thread, I shall go a-searching now. many thanks in advance.

Thank you also, slaney for the deckchairs explanation. That just leaves me with no 4. Touching down, no.48. Cover for a best sellar, working out the anagram in no.36 and wondering why Toaster is a town with a racecourse! Anyone help, please?

[poodledoo]

no 1 is SOFA (so far minus the "r")
I've had a lot of trouble with the server on my computer Juliefer, and its quite probable that Mike has tried to e-mail me, and I haven't received the e-mail. His e-mail address is not on the outside of the quiz, so I'm hoping he will see this and try again, or that somebody who knows his e-mail address will pass it on to me. Thank you for your offer, but I would like all the answers, so for the moment I will wait and see if I get a response to my other e-mail

Hi Trussell
4. Landing ??
8. Toaster Towcester pronouned toaster xx

[Trussell]

Oh, dear! So obvious when it is pointed out! I even thought of aeroplanes but didn't catch on to my own thoughts, forsooth! I played about with eiderdowns and bed covers.

I am in your debt, earthakitten. Many thanks

Thanks Trussell. You've probably got number 36 by now but, just in case, it isn't an anagram but a word meaning 'airless' followed by the job a 'Mrs Mop' traditionally does.
