[Karen58]

Can anyone please help me with the following 4 questions as I'm stuck! They are all names of well known shops and busineses.

1- He could argue with a ships mast! (1 word)
2 - Theres a twist of dates with Madge and Homer (3 words)
3 - See if you can keep the lid loose on the jar (1 word)

4 - Do the sell items made of flax (2 words - answer is a type of shop you could find in a Hight Street eg, butchers, bakers bank etc)

Thanks very much

To Vicasso, Burston and Ice Maiden

Thanks for your answers.

I don't think the answer to number one is Barclays as that is the answer to another question in the quiz, so I'm still looking for an answer to that one.

Stead and Simpson I think is correct so thanks for that one.

Drapers Shop may be the answer to No 4. I don't think its Lineners at that seems a bit obscure. If anyone else has any ideas I'm still prepared to be persuaded.

I'm sure there used to be a shop called Bejams (remember it from my childhood) but I don't think they're in existence anymore. I think there is probably an alternative answer to number 3.
