27 a) Bloodsucker seeing quarry on strike.

I have: L-M-R-Y

It must be LAMPREY ?, I get LAMP for strike, but why REY for quarry?

Thanks

Strike = LAM
Quarry = PREY

Please help - the last one. It appears so simple...

5 Acc
Pressure that is on in search for food (4,3)

F - S - P- E

Fish Pie seems obvious, but I am not happy with it for some reason, I cannot ''see'' the ''search'' connection and it is driving me mad!

Any help appreciated.

You Fish, search, for compliments, say?

... and Chambers gives one definition of 'fish' as 'search', so it seems fine.

You've done it again, Malone, of course, I missed the fishing for search connection, many thanks indeed.

Big Al, thanks, glad I could help. I was happy enough with fishing, searching for compliments (for the answer, not for myself), but I decided to check in Chambers too.
