Place names in British Isles containing a weight or measurement

Please can you help?


4) Was this the home for the Trotters (8)
12) A staff plus receipts (8) I have seen the clues for this and searched the gazetteer for 'rod pole spring track' and 'bill or stub' but just cannot find it Am I on the wrong tack?
52) offensive term for weak and timid people plus pitch (9)

12, took me ages to get, had help from busters post yesterday. The 2nd on your list is worth checking out.4, very well known sitcom,52,starts as a not very nice word for someone who is weak and not very brave

[roopower]

Sorry, tablet self corrected. Bubsters post 22.11 yesterday

[scorpiojo]

12 A ???? (that you could hang your curtains on) + a 4 letter word for receipts...google receipts crossword clue.

[Pigletion]

I think 52 is a sounds like answer. The first part is not particularly offensive, but means a bit weak and ineffectual, and the last is black stuff. Gives a cathedral city and county town.

Assuming my answer is correct....

[granny grump]

Thank you
Got 4 - didn't think that it was that straightforward

Just cannot find anything in the gazetteer for 12 searched stub slip bill

Still searching for 52

[Prudie]

Are you sure 4 isn't 7 letters? It has a very obvious answer (to me)

[Pigletion]

Yeah, I was pretty happy with my answer for 52, except I can't see the weight or measure...

[Pigletion]

ok, revised answer to 52, which does contain a weight or measure. First part is again not very offensive, but means chicken/cowardly/weak people and last part is to do with sound.

[granny grump]

Back to the drawing board Pigletion

Yes sorry Prudie - it is 7 - and got it

[Tilly2]

4 Peckham

Hi GG, you've already mentioned the word for the first part of 12,
just google receipts crossword clue and look for a 4 letter word

[granny grump]

Thank you jo - it must be me - obviously the answer to 12 starts with Pole but I can't find an 8 letter word that fits the bill on Gazeteer


Also still stuck on 52 offensive term for weak and timid people plus pitch (9)

[Pigletion]

Hi GG, I posted a revised answer at 21:08 yesterday - First part is again not very offensive, but means chicken/cowardly/weak people and last part is to do with sound.

I can give you what I think the answer is, rather than a clue, if you'd prefer

[Pigletion]

GG, for 12, I just looked here http://www.gazetteer.org.uk/ and the answer is on the second page when you search "pole"

[granny grump]

Got them thank you Pigletion thank you they were driving me mad - Could not get the receipts bit - never thought of it in that way - Thank you again

[Pigletion]

Good news! It is so annoying when you know you are so close and it just bugs you for ages. Glad you now have them all.

[scorpiojo]
