Happy New Year everybody.
Anybody doing this quiz ? Stuck on these.
10. A right to hold property until a debt is paid
50. In on here from
The answers are all films
Any help appreciated.

10 impound?

Think the firwt one is Alien something but I don't really know the films

Ah, two of the easier ones.

A 'lien' is a right to hold property against a debt.

The phrase 'From here on in' means that we are going forwards in time.

Hope that helps.

50 Is there a film called prepositions (I think thats what those words are!)

Thanks helena and anniec.
I should have mentioned they are CRYPTIC clues.
Alien is a film, but I don't see the connection with the clue

For everyone:

This is the annual Hammond Harwood quiz and is a good one. It can be found http://www.hammondharwood.com/quiz/quiz_home.htm">here.All the answers are given on the last page and all you have to do is match them to the questions! It's harder than you might think. I've still got 12 to get.

John from A has explained the first bit but not the "debt" bit which is why I was not sure

And rather smugly (ah, some of the easier ones eh!?) explained the seocnd!

I already did!

And of course I have now checked the defintion (knew it was a right to hold property) and discovered it is the right to hold against a debt.

Thanks for the direction to the quiz John from A
