Can you help with the following please?
1. What colour is the liqueur calliano, (I dont think it is a mistake for Galliano - but not sure)
2. What colour were London's first pillar boxes (I have bronze and green as possibles)
3.Which movie star invented the bucket seats used in sports cars (5,7)
4.Which part of a tortoise is the carapace (4,5,5.) -
There are no number of letters given for the first two questions.
Any suggestions much appreciated. J.

4 carapace is the upper shell so not sure about your number of letters

4 could be hard outer shell. ( Did think upper instead of outer but that doesn't really make sense. )

Thank you both very much for your help. I have just looked up 'hard upper shell' and it mentions carapace. J.

Yes, 1 must be Galliano which is, of course, yellow.

Just found an article on Ask Jeeves which states that London's first pillar-box was bronze.
Can't see calliano as a drink anywhere ( doesn't mean it doesn't exist ) but Galliano is amber/yellow depending on where you look.
