Answers contain a colour or shade. Setter asks that only clues are given.

50. UK’s first of many holiday camps was opened here in 1936. (11)

I can only find Butlins in Skegness - but thats not enough letters!


30. Joan's other half could be naive (5, 5)

Who is Joan?


I have a few others that still to get - but I'm working on them!

D.arby and Joan

If you do a site search you'll find the answer to 50 - it's already been asked.

[Tuvok]

Would never have got Darby and Joan - kept thinking it was Joan and somebody!

As for Skegness - I was only 3 miles off!

Will get back to the quiz after Bake Off!

[Captain2]

[emeritus]

50 have a look at a map around Skegness. The camp was built nearby

[emeritus]

Ah sorry you already have it

[Tuvok]

Last one to get

Mary had one, hesitate, plus a sandbank

Am I on the right lines with Mary had a little lamb?

Been looking for Lamb places - no luck so far!

[emeritus]

Yes you are. The sandbank has the same name as a footballer who won the World Cup in 1966 with england

[emeritus]

Well that was a complete waste of time for a clue !,

[Captain2]

Clarion - clues only requested

[smouse]

Too many people are answering and not reading that the setter has requested that people only ask for clues
