Saturday Giant Mail Crosswoed.

65a] Trees found by the sea : Scandanavian. The quick clue is:- Fruit trees.
I have the answer 'peelers,' but I don't get the Scandanavian link.

Peelers is definitely correct Cupid - this crossword is always a bit odd!

[cupid04]

Thanks you're a star ;-))

[Mamyalynne]

Glad we've now seen the full clue, I gave Medlars at weekend and was told Peelers was right but no citation offered.

Only had the quick clue in that question.

Ta both.x

[fiction-factory]

Medlars seems fine to me

[Mamyalynne]

Of course it is.

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I was responding to Margotester at 16:50. I'm clearly not as fast as we need to be on here

[Toorak]

Medlars looks better to me - how does peelers parse?

[cupid04]

Yep, cryptic and easy clue lead to the same answer.
I'll let you lot fight it out amongst yourselves ;-) xx

[Mamyalynne]

Not fighting whatsoever, I was bemused and would love to see the parse for 'Peelers' that works in Sea and Scandinavian.


Glad it's now cleared up.

[Toorak]

I think we are all agreed that medlars has it :-)

I was just going by this - sorry if it's wrong

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, when you said you'd looked it up I thought you meant in a reference book - they're wrong, they often are.

[cupid04]

Margotester I still love you xx lol!

[fiction-factory]

I sometimes wonder if mischief makers make sure some of these answers appear on Danword etc

[MargoTester]

Thank you Cupid :-))

[Mamyalynne]

Cupid, no one has fallen out trust me - a resolution can only be good.

Some of those sites can be useful, but sometimes they can lead you down a blind alley.

[cupid04]

You're welcome!!!!

[Lie-in King]

Didn't mean to cause trouble, no strength for fighting, got stinking bug, answered cos I saw it on screen as I walked past, didn't know about other answers, sorry. :-) x

Bleeuurghhh, back to the sofa...

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, it's all your fault, back to thy sick pit.xxx
