Are you writing these clues yourself, Patsy?
They are quite good although 2 doesn't quite work since 'tells tale' would be LIES not LIE

[Patsy33]

So I have, apologies. It's a bit early for me. I'm normally a night owl! ;0)

Ignore mine- I'm not an expert parser- I suppose we could ignore the word 'tells' and just use tale = lie

[Patsy33]

Yes FF. In my head it worked! I thought plural 'tales' would make it lies? Now thinking about it, you are right. Thanks for pointing that out. ( Must try harder....)
