[mccfluff]

my friend is going away for the weekend and she has been given these clues to where she is going

1. Fish
2. world cup (soccer)
3 dbp
4 a king once gave this place to "the men of Bristol"

help its driving us barmy

[shammydodger]

Dublin?

[shammydodger]

I ought to explain. Danish traders were driven out of Dublin during Henry II's reign, and Bristol traders invited to fill the void.

[mccfluff]

thanks my thought as well but only because of point 4 can you explain the ist 3?

[mike1222]

4 would suggest Dublin, but can't connect 1,2 & 3

[shammydodger]

Nope, not a clue about the first 3 either. Unless dbp stands for Dublin Bay Prawn?

[mccfluff]

1/ known for fish/fish rest etc

2/ don't know

3/ dublin bay prawns

4/ as previous answers

anyway we're right thanks, i'm still not telling my mate tho hee hee

[Danni79]

Is fish a reference to the amount people tend to drink when they go there?.....or is that just me drinking like a fish!!!

[naomi24]

Could the fish be a reference to that Tart with a Cart - Molly Malone - and her cockles and mussels?
