These have got me stumped! The answers are, sound or spelt like names of capital cities.
1) Not quite a dam building rodent (it's not Amsterdam)
2) A chicken dish
3) Don't confuse with a Greek dish
4) Departs
5) Add a "C" to this bubbly chocolate
6) A man with an accent aigu
7) Two non-contract mobiles
8) Add an "a" to unspoilt
Thanks in advance.
