Thanks again Rossim,ab, and chris g....I really deserve a dunces hat!
Jonty...I am still toying with 3 answers for your request and having got the entry date completely muddled I will join you on the naughty stair!
At the risk of upsetting Keenquizzer who I notice never seems to ask or answer any questions but only criticises others for asking too early. I have left the naughty step on a temporary basis. I am still stuck on number 39 Good time had by all of them. I did come up with a 2 word answer that is something one might say on seeing people during the festive season butIi am not convinced it is correct any clues would be most welcome.
