[Lana69]

Any help with my last few please, answers are Famous People. 4. Keep fit here in an old persons home in the Whitechapel postcode area.    28 The French version of this frank diary of WW11 can be sheer poetry in the nursery.    31 Irish flight provider has no atmosphere with the surname of the mother of Star Wars leading lady     .37  Final vowel change in a gin cocktail and add his gin stirred not shaken.   42 Roman fifty not out of the forest with a pub counter in unfired pottery.  Thanks

Sorry cash, was too excited having got a name I'd never heard of! 😉

4    Jim Carrey?

 

[cashier]

Don't worry Captain, it's nice to have confirmation. I've done it loads of times.

[Togo]

Joseph Carey Merrick was better known as the Elephant Man    ...   from Whitechapel. 

[Captain2]

How does that parse though, Togo?

You still up to the eyeballs in snow? 😊

[Togo]

No it is gone but bleedin cold.
Keep fit here  ...  Gym homonym Jim. Whitechapel postcode area was where  Joseph Carey Merrick came from. . 

[Togo]

When I say came from    ... his remains were on display there. Homed if you like. Eeeww. 

[Captain2]

Jim? Joseph? are they interchangeable?

[Togo]

No but James is.  Jim Carrey is James Carey. 

[Togo]

You are a bit unfocused tonight Capito. Not like you. Have you polished off the Christmas booze all in one go? 🤣

[Captain2]

No, I'm fine Togo; wish I could drink but one a night is now my body's limit. 😊

'Keep fit here  ...  Gym homonym Jim. Whitechapel postcode area was where  Joseph Carey Merrick came from'

That's what's puzzling me, but hey ho, I've no answer to the question anyway.

[Togo]

Change Joseph Carey Merrick to Joseph Carey Merrick and hey ho.

Where does the old persons home bit fit in?

[Romanski]

Maybe it's just me but I can' t understand the parsing of the q4 answer if it is Jim Carrey. Jim as homophones for gym, fine. Old person's home could be care (home); but that leaves an r and a y and unexplained reference to Whitechapel postcode which is E1. Merrick' s middle name is a different spelling from Carrey's surname. Anyone clarify for me?

Jim Carrey pronounced Jim (gym) care E =
