These are ditloids??

[factor-fiction]

Please can you reply and put each one on a separate line to make them a bit clearer. Thanks

[Quizmonkey]

Surely they're only ditloids if there's a number for each - hence the name?

Hi dai- they are in the right section. I think it was just the word ditloids that was being queried as these include numbers in my experience.

Hi, are these part of a quiz, if so can you tell us the name of the quiz? thanks

[katburd]

I think we need to call in the experts for this lot :))

(a) stitch in time saves nine?

[factor-fiction]

Yes, could be One Stitch in time Saves Nine, although I've only ever heard "A stitch ..."

[katburd]

hi calibax glad you came,

[katburd]

I was starting to make up stuff with the letters :)

[Calibax]

Thanks katburd, I'm struggling with the others though.
I think they are just proverbs/sayings rather than ditloids.

[katburd]

well calibax, if your struggling, they must be tricky ones indeed
