Odd questions I have!

[tpw536w]

1)Which three letters connect an area around Dewsbury & something that went from a day of the week to Toast?
2)Which tv soap pub sells Sherlock Bitter?
3)When the Ecclestons were in Brighton, Rachel & simon were in Fairford & the Lewis family was in Crewe, who were in Barry?
Thanks for any help

Another 3 hours googling and Barry still eludes me, bad night at the quiz as well!

[kawakiri]

It's not fun now, another 3 hours googling to no avail.

Would love to help - but can't give the answer away due to bit of local pub quiz team rivalry - anyone could be reading these forums!

Spirite- could you help out with Google search terms now we are on the right track? Putting the entire question in gives me nothing. Do we need the company name? Do we need the street name? Do we need to include the Ecclestons Lewis family etc or their places of residence? That won't give anything away to anyone who still thinks it's Gavin and Stacey! Please please please we are losing our marbles here and getting RSI from googling.

[spirite]

As you have realised it's no use googling any/all of the question. You only get other people asking it! Think laterally.

Your last clue to finding the answer is a quote from Hazel Blears.

AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[jjs]

Was she talking about chocolate?
Sorry, talking to myself now.

Youtube if you want to

@spirite - was she being interviewed at the time or was it something like a news report????

[jjs]

Well I've found out all sorts of interesting things about Hazel Blears. Broken cookies, drinking out of a dairy milk mug, criticising Bourneville, living in a street that looks like Coronation street, But nothing that is going to tell me who lives in Barry. This is getting silly. Spirite must be laughing his/her socks off. Anyone else got a clue/ answer?

[kawakiri]

Whoo-oo! got it.

[jjs]

Please can I have a clue? I can help with anything else! (bet you have got them all now)

[kawakiri]

Well I've got an answer for them all. Not saying they are all correct.
2 words in your google search will suffice to locate the answer for Barry

[jjs]

Did Hazel Blears help?

[kawakiri]

Not really.

[jjs]

Well done anyway, I'm glad you got it. I am now really depressed!!

[kawakiri]

Thanks. Keep googling, think outside the box, the answer is in there.

[jimmy_colclough]

PLEASE!!!!!!!!! give us a little clue as to what the words are. i beg you!!

[jimmy_colclough]

are any of the words here? commercial, advert, cadburys, coronation, street, barry, rachel, gavin, stacey, brighton, eccleston, lewis, crewe, break, chocolate, box, milk, simon, fairford, harveys, videos? do you search pictures videos or sites or what? help!

[jjs]

Jimmy I think they have all buggered off now they have the answer. I think the answer lies in clever googling using quotes to isolate phrases because you get far fewer results. The closest I got was an article in the Pensarn newspaper which talked all about the ad and did everything but name the couple. I have even emailed Cadburys! Spirite and Kawakiri if you are lurking, when all this is over and the answers are in and me and Jimmy still are clueless, please will you tell us what you googled?
