You give great clues m. and l. Much better than just giving the answers.

Thank you all - absolutely billiiant clues - how come I can't get them in the quiz but when they are posted here I understand the question - loved the clue for 29 in cakes and biscuits - had to say it a few times before the penny dropped.

I have marked the first answer as the best as I thougt that I could grade them all like I used to with the stars - but it doesn't work like that anymore does it? - but all the answers were great I didn't want to single one out.

No 18 i the sports only has 6 letter - sorry I should have put that in - but I think that there may be a mistake does anyone know.

Thank you all again you're brilliant x
