Think I may be having the same problem as you Winnie. Ie not 50 of each!!
Still need help with 61 and 37. Clues given so far haven't helped although as I have already mentioned I do have a word for a fruit beginning with Q for no 61.
Also not 100% sure if I have no 36 correct. I have a word beginning with P but not sure??

Thankyou Janet47 - I have a P answer but don't altogether understand it. All my other P answers look good - I shall have no hair left at this rate !!
Haeremai 18. according to me both 36 & 37 begin with P. and I rather confused over 61 now. I have the answer that Palman quoted but can't follow the other line offerred.
The only fruit beginning with Q is quince - so where do I go from there ? ( did we say earlier that this quiz was easier than those before - lol.)

Winnie, google Dicken's characters and look for "architect".

Many thanks Nonplussed, the penny dropped!!

Winnie. If I want even nos of P and Q, no. 61 has to start with a P BUT I think it should start with a Q if the fruit is anything to go by.

Still can't make out no.37 starting with a P?

My hair grows greyer by the minute!!!!!

37. pantry with age in it.

61. nothing to do with previous (60) question. straight forward cryptic. think of who yours truly is and a 4 letter game. answer is a fruit starting with P.

Thank you janet47. I accept the answer to 39 is P------ff
but can not understand the part of the clue .....'without the diamonds, Dickens is ruined by a loud fellow...' I can see the last part of answer describes the architects character.

Thank you Harbinger and everyone else who has helped me. Now have 50 Ps and 50 Qs. Whether they are all correct remains to be seen!

If I can help anyone else with anything please ask. I will keep checking.

without the diamonds Dickens means dickens without D. is ruined means anagram. by a loud fellow means by FF (F means loud in music,and Fellow).

"P" quietly, take the "D" from Dickens, "FF" loud fellow and change "ickens"
