This is the Quiz for Airedale Hospital. I wondered about "waffles?" but can't get the girl with a whip one, or about six others i.e. 16, 18-20, 25-26, 34, 36
Shall we compare notes ? ?

girl with a whip - cracker

[marpycoo]

HC 4361 - thanks for that - any idea on the others ? and I can maybe help you with any that you haven't got yet ?

Marpycoo

[hc4361]

I haven't got the quiz

[marpycoo]

I just assumed you had - the ones I haven't yet got (does Goldiewi know?)

16. Riches for a monkey (9)
18. Four legged Canadian (6)
19. Covered turners (5, 6) perhaps ***** twists ?
20. Showy trousers (13 !, 5)
25. Cut yourself off (9)
34. Flutter with the lad (4,4)
36. Shining star with one of seven (6)

The answers are all Desserts, Cakes or Biscuits. Many thanks in advance.

I'm thinking 20 could be macaroons - maroon, but where would the cas fit in with the clue?

[hc4361]

25, not 20

[hc4361]

34 Flap jack

[marpycoo]

Flapjack is brilliant (the question setter is almost certainly a retired teacher, and she does occasionally confuse one word answers with two word answers)
Macaroons I like as an answer, but cannot justify it any more than you can . . .

20 - knickerbocker glory

[marpycoo]

Dear Boxtops - What a great answer - there aren't many 13 letter words.

18: Four legged Canadian. I've seen this as mousse (moose)

[boxtops]

[hc4361]

For 16 I'm thinking of bananas, fruit, trees, forest, the letter D (Roman Numeral for 500; monkey is slang for 500), gold, swing, swinger

[hc4361]

I like mousse

[marpycoo]

Dear Douglas9401 - what a clever lot of people there are out there ! I forgot to say - the question setter has a liking for puns e.g. guy with no hair = garibaldi !

19. Wagon Wheels

Thanks Boxtops - as a recently retired senior citizen, I am fairly new to all this as you can probably tell. Only four to get now !

[boxtops]

No probs marpy, you look OK to me!
