Well, truly overwhelmed with the response and the fantastic answers. Many thanks to you all for your efforts.

Have two quandaries.

Firstly, ‘02. Not zig back this American group’ – looks as if it could be ‘Zagreb’ as offered but just can’t parse it. Can anyone enlighten me?

Secondly, I now have ‘Rome’ as a possible answer for two clues; ‘06. In it you do it’, and the other, which I did not post here; ‘Wander’ which I had already put ‘Rome’ as the answer for that one. Haven’t seen any quizzes before with the same answer twice.
Any thoughts would be appreciated on these.

Apologise to anyone who may have made posts on these two quandaries that I may have missed – been away for a time, had to sort the dog out. But that’s another story.
Daij - look at 23.40 for 6 suggestion.
If you reverse B.E.R., Zagreb would work....
