Hi Winnie. I still think it is L..... P.... mainly because the P word is to do with lions and of course the alternative name for saxifrage

Hi haeremai18 Try these hints:-
37.start of harrass = h, unduly nag = anagram of nag and go from there
40 Is anagram of birds egg tea ( On line Chambers word wizard)
43. Google 'a curious incident'
44 is 4 consecutive letters in the clue written backwards
47.speechless = mute
61 try using cam'ERA C'ame + h (hunter)
63 Pool is a sport or game
64. anagram of 4,5,6,7,and 8th words
69 Google Miss Woodhouse for her first name +
sheep back = ram (backwards)
Re Chambers dictionary, they are a bit pricey - try second hand book shops or amazon maybe.

Thanks again Winnie. Am working on your clues and have got 43, 44, 64 and 69 but still struggling with others. Have used Chambers Word Wizard for BIRDSEGGTEA but it comes up with no anagram! Will have another go again tomorrow but will no doubt come back for your help if I may?

Hi Winnie. If you have a Chambers 10th edition, which I am sure you have, could you please give me the ISBN number? Amazon have very few Chambers but Play.com have several but they do not say which edition but do give an ISBN number. Onwards and hopefully upwards with your clues!!

Hi haeremai18 re Chambers dictionary 10th edition
It's ISBN is 0-550-10185-3. Hope you can get one .
Neville Mizen - author of the quiz does state that this dictionary is the main ( but not sole) source of reference for definitions .
I'm sure we will be in touch some more.

Hi Winnie
I got same answer as you for 12, and applied the same logic to confirm 28 as kennelmaid. However, Palman thinks differently (see his note at 210). He's keeping us in suspense!

Hi again Winnie. Thanks for ISBN number. Have found a 2nd hand one for £13.21 + postage! Back to the clues you gave me earlier.
No.18. Makes no sense to me despite looking up beginning of R words? Any more clues?
No.37. Is this something HANG?
No.40. Still can't get the anagram as looked up Chambers Word Wizard & no anagram came up?
No.61. ??? Erach ... Cameh. Still stuck.
No.63. The game of pool is billiards - too long word & anyway it's nothing to do with dogs or cats ???
LAST PAGE: clues if you please?
81. I have gone into Connecticut to meet the perfume producer (5). No idea about this one.
92. ..... but elderly Tony, due more change, was blessed (3,11). Is this OLD. something?
94. Animals that caused an argument during church service (8). Does this begin L and end in S (breed of dogs)? Partly from church and service but not sure about the absence of letter L?
You must think me awfully thick!!!! Perhaps my Chambers 10th edition will help more next time round but in the meantime can you please help me to solve the remaining as above. Thanks.
