[Mamyalynne]

I like Ellie's answer for 4 - if you put 'Club' after her suggestion.

[JJ109]

I on the other hand, although understanding Ellie's answer, did not think the wordplay for "lofty" came out sufficiently. Yes it is high or aloft.... but to me it just doesn't give me that "yes!" feeling. Each to his/her own, 170748 can decide for themselves!

[Mamyalynne]

Absolutely.

[JJ109]

Sorry Ellie! I am also not keen on "musical key". To me a key is an "unfastener" rather than a fastener. I know you can lock things using a key and so it can be a fastener, but personally I think it should be something like bolt, pin, button or clip for fastener. Film clip or musical clip, I don't think are good enough. Still thinking!

[Davemano]

5 I pondered over Charm Bracelet.

[Davemano]

4 High Society?

[JJ109]

I like that Dave (sorry Mamy!)

[JJ109]

5 Dance Band
Again I am not thrilled by this answer, but a band can be a fastener.

[JJ109]

23 I am sure that your Crown jewels will be correct, but just for you Mamya a nice alternative answer!

[170748]

Thank you.I think the quiz answers can be very varied

[JJ109]

thanks for B/a - but for this clue, I think Davemano's answer High Society is more likely to be correct!
