Sorry JimC, Campanilla is right on the button.

Thanks Campanilla

Just found these I'd missed in the nature quiz:-

The house was bleak for this doctor (6,6)

Steptoe the elder (7,7)

Wilfred Bramble played Steptoe

Unfortunately, his name was spelt Brambell so there sounds like an error in the clue somewhere....

Oops should have checked that sorry.

Mister Badger is a Doctor in Bleak House ?

Thanks campanilla, came to the same conclusion - maybe one of those sound alike answers that seem to be pandemic in quizzes today.

Allan Woodcourt was the Doctor in Bleak House, but I don't see a connection with badgers.

Pardon my grumpiness (and no reflection on Campanilla), but I can't really see why "Moss Bros" is a knock-out answer for "Would you be suited if you went here? (4,4)" in either an "In Nature" or a "UK town & city" quiz.

I realise that the (man-made, legal entity) 'Moss Bros' is associated with suits and see that 'moss' occurs in the natural world. However, everything in the entire universe etc. can be considered to occur in Nature (including cryptic crosswords, their answers and grumpy people).

What about another man-made entity: 'Golf club' as a (not very serious) answer? It references a suit and involves a lot of grass.

Yours, somewhat pedantically,
JimC

Very understandable JimC, This needs to be taken up on poser of the day.
