cransley occupations quiz

[Janbuck]

Done quite a few and I know there's loads of time left but would appreciate any help with these. Answers are all occupations

1 Write about credit or cash (6)
16 Ponytail or pigtail (6)
32 Type of wood (6)
40 If you wish to tour on this you will need to wear a poncho and be prepared to get wet (4)
43 Centre of Swan Upping (4)
44 The nerve of the creator of Rebus
50 This one uses a 'tree frame' (7)

Thanks in advance, Jan

[Janbuck]

Clue for no 50 - the person who uses this also has an interest in the 'theatre'. Hope it helps

Thanks Janbuck hadn't re-read the small print since starting the quiz.,,candled

[smouse]

cant believe I found sixpence and didnt relate that to tanner - I will pretend I am too young!
Has anyone else got carver for 23

[smouse]

22 is windy miller - how sad of me to get that - lol

[furrypusscat]

I have carver for 23. Still can't get 50 - brain cells gone to sleep. Still plenty of time for them to wake up.

[smouse]

and hope mine wake up at the same time cos I dont get it either

[bibster]

i can't understand the clue either .

[Janbuck]

I saw a post from someone else who hinted that a tree frame was used by someone who looks after trees - a tree s-----n, also the name of someone who works in an alternative 'theatre' to one which puts on plays. Hope this clue is better.

Just switched on Janbuck, brains back in working order today. Hope Smouse's is. Many thanks.

[smouse]

yep - it takes a while sometimes

[Janbuck]

Hi everyone - what have you got for number 6? Is it journalist or researcher. Could someone please explain 'dyer' for number 43. Thanks

[Janbuck]

Just got what 'dyer' is all about now but have just noticed that I'm not sure about number 44. Someone said 'Chandler' as it is a character in 'the' book but Rankin wrote loads of Rebus books. When I first did it I came up with 'watchman' - that was the title of a Rankin book but not a Rebus one so it can't be right. Help please.

[furrypusscat]

Hello Janbuck,
I've put researcher for no:6. Suppose it could be either, I'm sticking with that.

[smouse]

did you miss the suggestion (and its a good one) of optic ian
for the rhebus one

[furrypusscat]

Yes Smouse, It is good and I think I'll go with that. Never really knew connection with rebus apart from Ian Chandler being an author but I think optician will be the one we are LOOKing for!!

[Janbuck]

smouse thanks for no. 44 - would never have got that even though EYE can be an apt PUPIL!! I thinks that's me done now. I better send off for some more.
