Thank you Chrisg. Is Mr Olab one of those meerkats in the confused.com ad's? Perhaps his name is Tim or even Tom? What a strange clue?

How about KETA for the salmon clue? Can't parse it though!

Just checked and the name is Oleg in the commercial so no luck there. Yes a strange clue

Got to go. Good luck with the others
