Still desperately searching for last 2 on places in Gt Britain.

25 Embalm all for transformation (8-4)

Would be very grateful for any help received.

trainer?

[Tilly2]

Oh, no. I thought 10 and 25 had been solved by now.

Good luck, birdie.

76. Teacher ?

[birdie73]

Many thanks factor-fiction, Tilly2 & TheWinner ,am giving up on Whittington now spent far too much time on it.

[factor-fiction]

I think I remember Teacher being the answer to a clue about whisky. Someone suggested auditor for 76 but I can't see why it would be that

[Svejk]

76. tried Refiner?

[birdie73]

Yes factor-fiction I have got Teacher for 45 Also a whisky maker (7) & it was suggested that 76 could be refiner but couldn't really understand why, but think trainer could fit either ?

[birdie73]

Thanks Svejk can you explain why please as my chambers dictionary doesn't.

Hi,birdie73.you've done well in the Whittington Quiz-I've several answers still to suss out but must admit I've given up.Hope someone can help you with the last two.

[birdie73]

Hi quinie do hope things are still going well for you.
We are having lots of problems husband is not so good, he has very limited sight as well as his mobility getting worse, he recently had blood clots on his lungs so they are unable to operate on his eyes.
Re the Quiz I have no reason to believe my answers are correct but let me know if I can help you as we need to post very soon.

[Svejk]

someone who helps you excel at, say, golf helps you refine your game.
Or a singing coach refines your voice so you can excel at singing.

If I see May54 on the site, I'll ask if she has the last 2 for Whittington as she hasn't asked for help with those :)

[bows13]

Dear bIRDIE73 you are still both remembered in my prayers and mu sisters even though I have not been in contact. Pray things will improve.

[birdie73]

Thank you so much Svejk for your explanation it all becomes clear now.
Thanks also to you scorpiojo do hope you see May54 these quizzes become such a challenge & help me to switch of at the end of a busy day.

[birdie73]

Thank you bows13 it's so lovely to hear from you again.

[scorpiojo]

Do you not have anyone helping you to care for MrB, birdie?

[birdie73]

Yes scorpiojo I have a carer for 30 mins to get him up & again 30mins to put him to bed.
I had a hospital appointment myself last week & was able to have a carer to sit while I was away from the house.

[scorpiojo]

I'm glad you have help, birdie. Take care :)

[quinie]

Sorry to hear things aren't getting any better for you and your husband.You are often in my thoughts-can understand how doing quizzes can help you. My treatment has finished-get the results next month. I'm now having a kidney scan this week -feel a bit down at times but I'm lucky to have a supportive familyTake care,birdie.

[May54]

Just want to say thanks to everyone for your help with this quiz - but I am now assuming that we are all stuck on the same last two clues 10 and 25. That's why I haven't bothered to ask for help. I'm just going to make up two answers (although I think they might both be anagrams) and get the quiz into the post. Good luck!
