All answers are Cities , towns, villages - done most - just stuck on the last few. Any clues gratefully received. I've got a couple of ideas but they don't appear in my map book of the uk!!!!!
1 German egg (30
2 Line! On fire (7)
3 Pop groups sword (9)
4 Writing tool, insects (7)
5 Dog crossing (4,4)
6 Small bulge, opposite? (4) .......could it be Dent?
7 Stay here (6)
8 Piece of string in meat (10)

1 German egg is ei. Perhaps it is Eye. you put 30 letters but your probably meant 3

I'm glad to see you're not asking about that "Go on having children" clue that has featured so many times this week.
I thought 4 might be Penzance
(pens Ants) but that's 8 letters

Not sure about Dent

5 mut be something Ford

3. Aberfoyle? (Abba foil)

[factor-fiction]

Well done TheWinnerTakes It All with 'Abba foil'. I thought of Foil but couldn't get any further.

Thank you so much factor30. Actually, I have had too much vino and am going to bed. Although - sometimes, it "frees" my brain! See you all soon.

7 Settle? (Yorkshire)

[ubasses]

4 pensby (pensbee)

4 Pennant? I thought of Pennance which sounds like pen-ants but that has 8 letters.Reading the clue the tool is singular and insects is plural but anything goes in quizzes I suppose.

^^^^^ "but anything goes in quizzes I suppose. "
Not in mine it doesn't quinie. What you read is what it is.

Hi,gen2, the quiz sounds great. I like challenging quizzes-just finished the famous women one-it certainly was challenging!

[factor-fiction]

I thought Pensby sounded okay at first but realised it has 6 letters not 7. Also, as gen2 says, the clue suggests the writing tool is singular and the insect is plural.

[factor-fiction]

Similarly Pennant is a place but the clue suggests the ants should be plural.

I've gone through all the places starting with Pen but can't find the answer.

Maybe the OP meant to type INSECT not INSECTS, then Pennant would be okay

many thanks for all the answers - I too have been through all those starting pen and came up with the same problem - have checked sheet carefully and it does say insects but as you say errors do occur. Apologies grasscarp, I did mean (3) - didn't spot 0!! Same long trawl through with mut and cur .... actuall I quite liked Dover for german egg (D ova) but I think grasscarp is right. thanks factor30 - where would we be without wiki to help tired brains
