Does anyone know the odd one out from jubilant, gracious, happy and noble?
And also the odd one out from peace, plenty, pace and clock?
And odd one out from Dudley, Shrewsbury, Walsall and Stafford?
I am stumped.
Thanks in advance

1. I would say Jubilant. The rest are words in "God save the Queen".

2. This could be Pace.

Perhaps relating to the Peace Tower (google it)

Hey I never would have thought of that thank you!

You're welcome. I am afraid someone else will have to solve the third one.
Althought it may be something to do with trains or motorways (both of which are not my subject). Good luck.

Thanks. I live in the Midlands and can't work it out. Someone out there may know!
Thanks again for the other two.

As an afterthought, could it be to do with whether they are in the Black Country?

[polly123]

Walsall and dudley are in the Black Country but not sure other two are

I'm guessing Walsall - it doesn't have a castle .

[TheWinner]

I think they all have castles if you google them.

[polly123]

Victim of assassin AS
In the butcher's shop SEON

Walsall's "castle" is the site of an ancient bronze-age hill fort . It's situated near the Shire Oak area of the town .

The other three are castle buildings which are still very much intact .

Famous siblings HAH could it be Hengist and Horsa ?
