[burgess3334]

I cant find gerrimander either, as I said it was suggested by someone on Answer Bank a short time ago, someone also suggested spelling it with a J, but cant find that either.
Just one that I missed 56. I have Newmansend, but not very sure of it

[hornbygirl]

56. anagram of never sat on

[burgess3334]

thanks, got it now, will work on Q27

[flopsymopsy]

hope you wont think me presumptuous and rude, but I note you cannot find Mastrick on your atlas. Are you looking for Maastricht in Holland, its just a thought. (I dont know what the question was) :o)

[burgess3334]

no, join in by all means, the answers are all places in the UK, the clue was Mothers prank sounds like european treaty

[TheUnderTow]

testing

[flopsymopsy]

Mastrick is on the western outskirts of Aberdeen according to my road atlas. I was on the right track, even if I was in the wrong country!

[burgess3334]

You have obviously got a good atlas, can you check if there is a "Gerrymander or Jerrymander" in it

[hornbygirl]

do you think were on the wrong track for 27.someone suggested westminster bit obvious but perhaps an option .not had time to quiz this aft as been making jam and tomato chutney

[flopsymopsy]

I cannot find G/jerrymander. Is it possible it is not the right answer. I have tried other 11 letter words from my books of "puzzlers lists" but havent found any in any atlas index.
I will be happy to look up any other places you come up with if you cannot find them.

[burgess3334]

have to go back to square one with 27. What did you get for 67, I thought Costa but cant find that either, looking forward to the jam and chutney, yum yum

[hornbygirl]

still no nearer with27 but 67 is an orkney village

[flopsymopsy]

my supa dupa road atlas tells me Costa is at the north end of Orkney mainland, just east of Loch of Swannay on the A966. Hope this helps.

Gerrymander was a type of argument used in parliament earlier in the 20th century - rather than an actual type of government...
