Still below the surface quiz

[RECA123]

I added these to my other message but am not sure how anyone will know they are there! Sorry - am quite new here and still trying to learn how things are done. Hope I haven't broken any rules.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction with a couple more please - am a bit baffled.
They are all things associated with water.

1. Under water betting shop? (5)
2. Sounds like a long mournful moan (5)
3. Awarded first place? (8)
4. Tired from smoking? (6)

Thank you.

Thank so much Jan1957 - took some thinking about but I can see it now! Never would have got that one myself.

2 Whale (sounds like wail?)

3 Goldfish ?!

1 Coral

WOW - thanks so much quizmonkey. Can you explain the "Coral" answer to me ... I know what it is but how does that tie-in with a betting shop please?

[RECA123]

I have an answer for another question but don't understand it ... are you able to explain it or tell me I'm on the wrong track?
It is ... A coin after South and I have put Scent.
I think it must be wrong.

[Quizmonkey]

Coral is a high-street betting shop:

[TheWinner]

There are a chain of well known betting shops called 'Coral'

[Quizmonkey]

Scent fits the clue perfectly (coin = cent, after S for south) - but nothing to do with water?

[RECA123]

Hello quizmonkey and the winner ... well, you sure do live and learn! Will now be keeping my eyes open to spot them. Thanks.

I think that Squid is more likely to be your answer given the theme of the quiz.

S=south + quid =coin
as opposed to scent
S=south + cent=coin

[TheWinner]

a coin after South = I think this is S-quid

[RECA123]

Thanks for the scent explanation ... I am trying really hard to learn how to do clues like this and know to use a "s" as in this instance. I can't tie-it in to water though so the answer is right but not for this clue.

Can you say if another of my dodgy answers might be right please - do say if I am being too cheeky but am just so keen to learn.

For "It travels in a straight line" I have put eel - but have no idea why.

[TheWinner]

another crossed post ladyalex! Great minds.................

:-))

[RECA123]

LadyAlex & The Winner ... I just had a "duh" moment! But was glad to be on the right track at least. I am slowly learning that quite a few clues have patterns to them and that is one I now recognise. Of course my difficulty is then coming up with the right words in the first place.
Am really grateful for your help and explanations.

I think ray would be better - as in ray of light

[ladyalex]

Happy to help :-))

(I think quizmonkey is right with Ray)

[RECA123]

Gosh Quizmonkey I wouldn't have come up with that. Thank you.
You are all very clever and I feel quite dumb right now.

There is another clue that says "Will this spoil a rock garden?" May I assume I can subsitute "will this spoil" for "MAR" and then just need to find another word to follow to mean a rock garden do you think?

Only help if you really don't mind.
