[auntflo]

1 walsall???? (if this is not the last word of the sentence)

[auntflo]

2 carlisle???? (again if this is not the end of the sentence)

[mahcaeh]

thank you both - WALSALL is the last word. CARLISLE whose job was to STOKE the boilers

Last answer 5,4 Look for a team with nine letters,the last four letters is where you save your money.
auntflo,Walsall is the answer to another clue
I think the cabin boy's name might be name of a castle in Scotland (Christian name of a famous racing driver)

[MASS1961]

Clydebank

I thought question 1 might be Millwall and perhaps a number error?

Hi,TW,I think you may be right.I can't find find a 7-letter word that fits. I found it quite difficult to count the dots!This is the only one I can't fathom out. Not very good at giving clues but I thought the clue i gave mahcaeh for the last one was helpful
