Pea pod can you be absolutely sure that you are correct with choosing Wills and last? Wh can't it be bills? Could the boy be lost?

A family gathering to me is a meeting of different relatives,not people living in the same house. So they would not be bothered about bills.If he was lost the school would have no reason to involve his parents.

Jiggleking, do you think you could keep all your entries on one posting as requested at the top of the page, your six entries soon fill up pages

jiggleking - if you are making these clues up then obviously you know the answer so why not give it with your reasoning.

If you are trying to do a published puzzle it is one that is designed to be impossible - ie that getting the right answers to the whole lot is a matter of chance, not skill. The 'right' answers are going to be picked by the editor or a panel of 'celebrities' - and let's face it the majority of 'celebrities' are not renowned for their intellect - and will turn out to be random.

I'd advise you not to waste your time and try more interesting puzzles where you can work out or google for the right answers.
