Sorry I still need those plus a few others but have you done No 1 'K and A for example' I dont know where to start with that one.

Smouse, I think 45 is the twin town of Hackney in the Caribbean. I've tried every which way with No 22 and nothing comes up - please could you give me a further clue

Please could I have a clue to No 1 K and A for example

[smouse]

22 put in the three names and look closely and you might spy the answer

thanks for 45

1 what could K and A stand for

[amadeusamati]

Apart from the initials of my daughters ......???!

[tpw536w]

could it be king and ace in cards??

[smouse]

I think it could

[amadeusamati]

I'm really being thick here - does it refer to King and ace in bridge? if not I'm stumped!!
