Isn't it strange how posting a question sometimes is all it takes to get the answer?


I am now only stuck on Children tell tales 8,4,3,4


and the aforementioned 30d.


Is 20d spelt with a z or an s?


Can anyone confirm 34 as Cantref?

macpark Read this saying as "(even) the walls have ears". Looking up in Chambers you find the saying given as"(little) pitchers have (long) ears" - which has the meaning "children tell tales" (exactly as worded in your clue!)

Macpark, it's from an old saying," LITTLE pitchers have big ears".
