55. Right away cry over spilt milk. (5 letters)
61. Mr. Zee can fly? (3 letters)

Thanks for any help.

62 Ruff?

[starone]

Thanks quinie, what a quick reply! I had thought ruff for 62 but could not equate it with the clue. Can't see anything else though so think it is probably right.

[quinie]

A ruff is a marsh bird and also a frilly collar.No61 has me stumped

61. Jay

[starone]

Thanks so much everyone. It is so frustrating when the last few evade you.
Winner - I had not thought of Jay-z. I suppose it was seeing it written in full instead of just the letter z. Thanks a lot.

You are welcome starone, good luck mate.

Hi,TW,I've been doing a bit of googling and came up with Jay-Z-a singer-is that what you were thinking or is there another explanation?

[quinie]

Glad to help,starone.

[TheWinner]

Hi Q, yes the singer Jay-Z. (it is pronounced J Zee).

[quinie]

Never heard of him but I'm an old fuddy-duddy as regards modern music lol

[TheWinner]

Me too, Q.

Although I have heard of him, and knew it was pronounced J. Zee and NOT J. Zed.

That is why Answerbank is so good, we all have little bits of knowledge, and together we make a great team.

[TheWinner]

forgot to add, that's why the clue probably said Mr. Zee and not Mr. Z can fly - as you would have read it wrong as Mr. "Zed" can fly.
