Mind your p's and q's
Just 2 left 4 and 26
Any clues would be welcome

4) Remember Maggie's very unpopular tax?

26) Exactly what the clue says. Lok up your sharks!

Please can someone give a clue to 43 and 48. I must be missing something cos everyone else seems to have solved these two! I have an answer to 38 but am not completely happy as I can't get a connection to "especially when on the hoof" Any hints would be most welcome.

Hi Susiem
43. Anagram ( is one of the 7 hills of Rome)
48. Anagram 2nd 3rd and 4th words.
38. What do you call a person who gives up easily. The answer is a sore on a horses hoof.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Winnie, I had looked at the seven hills of Rome but didn't find one with 9 letters - I'll go back and re-count! I'm sure I can finish now - they are my last three. Thanks again.

Help needed please with
29 Shows variations of time on maps Q word (10)
35 Quartets dispersed but this one stayed on Q word (8)
53 Musician arranging picnic outside Centre Court P word (7)
56 Short little man is pursued by a big cat just for play P word (9)
62 Line produced by eccentric pig breeder not British P word (8)
These are a few of my blank spaces & am continuing to work on them, have been through all the clues again given here.

23 composer of "Madame Butterfly"

29. is not a Q word. anagram of "time on maps" = shows.
35. anagram of "quartets" = someone who stays (where he shouldn't).
53. anagram of "picnic" and U (centre of court) = composer.
56. word for a little man, shortened + A + a big cat = name of a famous play.
62. anagram of "pig breeder" without BR (British) = line.

Thank you greedykite & harbinger will set to work on those tomorrow your help is much appreciated.

On listing given by someone no. 29 was indicated as being a Q word, I could see the anagram you were referring to but that would give me too many P words my most dubious answer being 16 Advertisement with direction for finding the entrance (7)
Could I also ask for help with
91 Safe vessel showing no sign of age (5, 3)
92 Islands one featured in one's play possibly (9)
Thanks again.
