Thanks Radar56 and LadyBee your hints much appreciated. For 78 start with a + think of a fairly junior RAF officer and use the 2 initals for this rank + word for 'say' only more emphatic. Not an everyday word but look in Chambers
Emma B 22 A followed by a type of lock, well known but I thought it had a C in it......it can also have an S Struggling but determined with protecta, with and the poppy thing which will only leave 62 82 and 100
To all of you who have been yelling the answer to 90 at me, thank you and sorry for your wasted energy. Sometimes the easiest ones to see are the last ones I get.
taijen - glad gardening all done!
for 82, I think, ( please anyone let me know if I'm wrong! ) - put another word for elevated position into word for units to give name of a Greek hero
Radar. I think you are right. Down to our last one now; Number 4. I have an answer but am not comfortable what it has to do with ancient books. 8th May is VE day and four is latin numerals I suppose. Anyone got anything better
Koilani - you are right! Your answer ( don't think I'm allowed to write it here ! ) is ALMOST VE Day! If you look up that four letter word it states it is four ancient books! Any hints on 62 that could help!? Ta!
