Thanks for your answers York girl
Sorry no help with number 9 but was thinking about number 20 as Speckling = spotting but then could only think of aeroplane spotting but did not think that really went with the clue maybe you could expand on this idea somehow. Or maybe I am talking a load of rubbish.
You are certainly on woth this quiz further tham me I am still plodding on with
15, 19, 26 and 33.
Any hints would be good
Thanks
