Hi stepcroft,
I think I've got one. You'll have to bear with me while I try to explain. For No 48. FOOT SCRAPER.
Kick = FOOT
Fighter = SCRAPPER
Quietly = P
Less a P from Scrapper.
Foot Scraper = Cleaner
Hope you can understand it.
Val.

Hi stepcroft,
bookwormer has answered one of your questions on another post.
70) ROCKERY.
Birds home ROOKERY replace O (zero ) with C( 100 ).
I must admit I would never have got that one. Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't see it.
Val.
