Well I am glad someone else seems to progress like I do; bad start, then on fire for a few more, and then back to square one and struggle with the rest. I could not find the word for white oak until I went onto the reverse dictionary site which has proved a great help for one or two of the other clues. Sorry if I confused you obsessed, must be coz I am left handed. Glad you got there in the end. Have you come up with anything for No 50 this one was the Queen's mother ?
Factor30, As for the s on the end of the surname, well you get things like that with Mr Lyall's quizzes.
