Hi Celandine.
32. Basically it's a 6 letter word for a bird that bobs up and down.
Plus 2 letter initials of a US "high up" lawman. Anagram those 8 letters and the answer is a bird (or person) who does what the clue says.
99. This is a type of daisy with the name of 2 birds (they can be called either name) who live in a battery. Their product is necessary in everyday use.
87. I have an answer but not sure it's right. It has been asked several times in this thread and if you go to page 2 and look under lady bee you'll find the start.

Hi Jennifer

I'm also unsure about clue 87 - do you think the 'money' part could relate to 'One Shilling'?

My best solution so far to No. 87 uses the ā€œLā€ from way back when we had lsd for pounds, shillings and pence.

87 Yes - I see where you're coming from, but that doesn't put 'AL' IN the bag, but rather after it, whereas the solution I have using 'IS' puts it inside a (different) bag. Still on the fence with this one.....
