How many letters in the last one, Cookie?  I'm stuck on numbers 2, 10, 15 and 25. 

I'll give it another half hour and then write my answers, no point waiting till you've posted them all and then us saying we've got them!!

[chickengrandma-2008]

There are 8 letters vamo.

It's just the same if we put our answers on here and then others could say 'Oh yes, that's what I got'  If you're gonna cheat, you're gonna cheat either way.

I haven't got number 2 either, but that's the only one. 

[cookiecookuk]

25 has 8 letters and i will give you a small clue to the rest  

 2 is in england

10  is in england

15  i thought was easy but it is france

17 is in england  think of riddles and puzzles

25 is in spain

[cookiecookuk]

Argh!  That will teach me to click on the notifications link!

I did get 2 correct though- there's hope for me yet...

[vamo48]

Oh, I'm sorry, hefzi!  I did put a warning first, but I should have asked if anyone minded me posting my answers! Of coiurse, they may not be right...

[2017clearout]

No, it was my fault - I should have stopped to think!   And I was *never* going to get them - it took me all week to work out two 😄

Now I've seen your answers, though, I've been sitting here going "aaaaaah" - I think you're right with yours, for whatever that's worth: it all makes sense now!  I think I will never learn how to do cryptic things...

Yay!  I got them all, although number two took some thinking !!  I was paying more attention to the bedfellow bit than the wise bit, so that held me back for a long time!!
