First time I've asked for help
93 Cheer ironically at the space for private accommodation
97 Steal from the greengrocers
99 By this means obtain water - unfortunately has rejected food

I read that 99 was an anagram but I can't see two words with seven letters which make sense.

There's another couple of threads on this quiz. The long one has loads of big 'hints' for many answers. Perhaps your queries have already been answered?

Thanks Malone. I have been through the other threads with a fine tooth comb but can't see the light. Will just have to hope someone has further hints for 93 and 97.

Down to one in the Mixed Doubles quiz now that 93 & 99 have revealed themselves. Just #97 to go. "Steal from the greengrocers". Anybody with a hint however small will be my friend forever.

Thanks Monty.Much appreciated. That's a full house. I'll wager no one would have known this meaning of steal.
