Someone in my family has written in for 89 Haselbury Plucknett but I don't know where they have got it from or even if they are pulling my leg!!

Q89 Your leg is not being pulled!!
Just google it and see!!

Hi jodder - having just read your post I would say that
Haselbury Plucknett (Somerset) is now HOT favourite!!

The actual clue looks really daft, same as Q15 & Q73, which immediately puts me on anagram alert.
However, >haselburyplucknett< failed to match >theskyturnedculpable< when I looked at it earlier this morning.

Try it without ed !!!

Let me know what you think - I'll call again later. ja

I was about to come back with the fact that there were 20 letters in the clue, when only 18 were required, but johnalex beat me to it !!!

[jodder]

Thank you all. I can ink it in now!
