People Of The Past

[habakkuk3]

Here are two the clues I'm having difficulty with. Any help please?


62. It could be lamb, batting at the keyboard. (6) 80. We hear a pipe used to draw off liquid.

[Tilly2]

Not Gertrude Jekyll then?

[Toorak]

Ghandi

[Toorak]

Or even gandhi

[fiction-factory]

Good one- even better then Eminem and Jekyll. That'll be it, Toorak

[Toorak]

Thanks ff - I think the second spelling is the correct one (I always forget where the h goes)

[fiction-factory]

I assume you've plumped for Fawcett for 80d as you've given it best answer. Whilst Gandhi and Chpin are usually refered to by the single name I'm not sure who this Fawcett is- the suffragette Millie Fawcett? Percy? Farrah?

Great answers from emeritus & Toorak!

[habakkuk3]

fiction-factory, I'm assuming Fawcett to be Farrah Fawcett.
Toorak, Though I think Gandhi may be the correct answer I'm not entirely sure. Thanks anyway. It will be my answer if nothing better is suggested. Many thanks to all of you who are trying to help.

[fiction-factory]

Gandhi seems perfect to me- G and HI.

I've never heard Farrah Fawcett referred to as just Fawcett, but if you're happy with it, good luck

fiction-factory and jno. Thanks for your suggestions. You are right in thinking that Millicent might be the better answer but the quiz only asks for a surname which solves that dilemma.

Toorak, After checking other answers in this quiz I've decided your answer of Gandhi is correct. Many thanks for your help.
