Polly Dee,
Don't feel guilty ...ask all you want for additional clues. There are some lovely helpful people on this site - all very friendly too.

Thank you clare, I appreciate that !! Here goes !!
14. Against 49 up in the air (8) If this is to do with question 49, I havent got that either !!
49. Commuters - possibly on foot (8) I thought of 'trampers' but not sure !
24. Beck's red line that Mungo found in Niger? No, in New York. (7,4)
31. Dad, you and I wander off course and find marine detachment (4,7) I have seen the clue 'orkney' posted, but it didnt help !!
Many thanks !!!

Hi clare

65 begins with a \"C\" (5 letter synonym of map-ending ART) then a 5 letter synonym of \"utilise again\" to give a yellowish green colour.

Hi polly,
49. Worn on the feet
24. Becks red line - London underground line on map. Mungos surname (African explorer)
31. Island in North East Orkneys.
14. Anagram of 49

Hi Polly Dee

49. A word for something we wear on our feet, or people who travel by rail!
14. An anagram of 49 meaning against.
24. An open air public place in New York.
31. Scottish Island first word synonym for dad!

Thank you so much Sarumite. Yes, have got that and it gives me the ART I was looking for.

14 is not an anagram of 49

14 = 5 letter word meaning against (c----) + roman for 49

Incidentally I didn't get 31 until I found a site telling me that 'marine detachment' is sometimes used as a clue for 'island'.

Thank you very much clare and sarumite. I now have plenty to think about tonight !!!

I have been thinking like mad about question 14 and although I can get anagrams of 49, none of them mean against or have anything to do with 'up in the air'. Thanks calliewag for your suggestion but I cant make sense of that either especially as the roman numerals for 49 are XLIX !! Am I being particularly obtuse ??
38. The first listener turned around very quietly and last pluck was painful (7,5)
44. Special agent given a light airing post-war (4,6)
52. Safety pin joins first hair to the toupee in front of the fire. (6,3)
Sorry to be asking for more clues !! Many thanks.
