they are not that hard if you read the clue properly .and say what you read .i find them easier if you read them out loud.they are all whell know holiday resorts.you have a few days.

[vamo48]

Got about half of them but still working on the others!

[jlt2367]

Well, we have got them all now!  When I say "we", it was team work!  In fact, six of us, with emails flying backwards and forwards as we each got one!  And now one of The Team is going off to Italy, where she has a few English friends, and is taking it with her!

So,  thanks for doing that, cookie!

I don't think my brain works this way - I've only got about one!  It's like trying the cryptic crosswords in the newspapers - when the quick crossword fills the same sqaure with the same answers, I can see how the cryptic clue fits afterwards, but before...  

I shall keep trying!

[cookiecookuk]

let me know when you want the answers and i will print them.

[2017clearout]

I don't want to pre-empt anyone else who's having a go - maybe after the weekend, to give everyone who wants a chance to have a turn?

[cookiecookuk]

ok keep trying.

[vamo48]

Thanks for waiting, cookie! Have got a few more, shall I post the ones I've got?

[vamo48]

6 to go!

[cookiecookuk]

Up to you vamo.will post answers on sunday evening.

[merc1_clocks]

I'm looking forward to the answers cookie...I can't get any...my brain just doesn't see them 

[cookiecookuk]

i will give you one answer  to show you that a lot of people over think these ..answer number 9 is newquey now see if you can get any more.

[mustard-tree]

Took me a while, but just spotted the last one, which is the first one.

[mustard-tree]

If I have got number 17 right, the clue is slightly wrong

Sorry to be pedantic

[chickengrandma-2008]
