No, it's a difficult answer, try starting with "tr" and it means the curtain rods.

Unfortunately this one is not in the Universal Anagram Solver. Think of a synonym for a wedding band (not the music sort) and another synonym for "allow". Put them together and you have a singular word pertaining to hair. Move the last letter of this word to the start and then make it a plural word. Hey presto, you have your answer.

Sorry John for delay in thanking you for your helpful pointers but I've been away from home and my PC for a short while. As its not in any of the dictionaries on my bookshelves I'd have never got the answer without your assistance.

Thanks to previous help only 3 clues remaining where haven't the faintest. Partner and I will consider these during next 2 weeks when in France but may seek help on return if still unsolved.

Would clear way though if clues where I've got answers but slightly dubious about them could be confirmed or be pointed in another direction. My first thoughts on 33 come up with answer very similar to that to no 1 which (from previous experience of these quizzes)can't be right. Is it a marine version of the transport MEPs and such are said to ride on or, perhaps the surname of the actor Nigel who played TV's Dr Watson plus a 6 sided figure.

As regards 39, my first thoughts turn to chinese criminal gangs although clue would only make sense if the last 4 letters of South African dried meat also meant a kind of meat.

Also, although reasonably confident, is answer to 10 what Masefield has 'charging up the Channel in the mad, March days'?
