People who may draw lots when serving behind bars (8)

[bobbinwales]

stewards - anagram of draw and sets (lots)???

[bobbinwales]

bit of a stretch I know (stretch is'nt a serving behind pars pun)

[Maxymax464]

Thanks bobbinwales but I think it begins with T.

[JJ109]

Question 57 of the Rainbow Quiz - one of the few that I haven't got yet either!

It either begins with T, or ends with T or T is at both ends of the word.

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, not a crossword then.

[Captain2]

[Tilly2]

I know what 97 is but I'm not telling ya'!

[Maxymax464]

Swap you Tilly2 for one you haven't got!

[Tilly2]

There are quite a few I haven't got yet but I'm not going to ask for clues until nearer the time. :-)

Is this a very new quiz, is the closing date looming up soon?

[Mamyalynne]

The closing date is 30th November 2021

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Mamya - I'll have a go (and maybe get it finished in the next 11 weeks!).

[JJ109]

I have an answer also, but it is one of 3 that I am not sure are right. My answer is a 12 letter alternative spelling to the more usual 13 letter word! I could be way of the mark though!

I am also a bit like Maxymax - having all but finished it, I don't want to leave the last couple for 11 weeks. I would rather get them now!

[Maxymax464]

Hi jj109. I believe the word you have with 12 or 13 letters begins with A and I am sure is not right because Chambers definitely prefers it spelt with 13 letters. I am pretty confident with 98 of my answers,have a question mark over No.91 and am really struggling with No.97.

[JJ109]

91 I have an answer that consists of 2 four letter words both beginning with T.

The first word can be used for "remodel" loosely
The second word is the rear of a plane
The whole means to run away or "fly"

[JJ109]

I have a question mark over 72 - does it begin with "B"?

[Maxymax464]

Hi jj109 Yes 71 begins with B. As for 91 I had got my first word (rear of plane) beginning with T but my second word begins with S (to fly)! Oh dear!
