Kettering Samaritans Answers
11 Answers
I have just received my answer sheet back from the Kettering Samaritans quiz with the answer to Q28 as being Crockery and not Earl Grey.
Could someone explain this please? I am just curious as the clue was "Take 5 from a very large pot at teatime" Without the v from very large, this is an anagram of Earl Grey which fits the clue. Apparently, the correct answer was "crockery" - why?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I put the same answer as you, for the same reason, so I,m just as curious about the answer. I was a little suspicious though because Earl Grey is two four-lettered words, whereas the quiz setter asked for an 8 letter word.
Kayakamina-q5 related to a summer house, so I don't think that has any connection.

A pot of gold! = CROCK of gold
Five (v) from very = ERY
Together you get CROCKERY
(large is there for semantic reasons)
Poor quality clue which brought forth a superb answer!
Your EARL GREY is far superior to the given solution
Most home-spun Quizzes have this type of problem.
Anyone can set a quiz - but few can set a good quiz
The pill can be indeed bitter, if you were close to winning!

I'm really really REALLY sorry but I got full marks as did my dear old sister who I always buy a quiz sheet for and she helps me along the way where she can and then we both send in our entries. Well bless her she came up with crockery which I thought was great but she said " No sharing it with Answerbank" Dilemma for me as I'm quite happy to give help. Anyway she won a Tenner and is so pleased! So be nice, pleeeeze!
You meany candled, lol.
Only joking, well done to your sister for getting the right answer. I too put Early Grey as it seemed to fit the clue perfectly except that the answer was 8 letters and not 4,4 but couldn't come up with an alternative. Took me ages to work out why the answer was crockery this morning when I got my sheet back.
