Kettering And District Samaritans Pairs Quiz C/d 2Nov 2018

[denquiz]

Just stuck on one last one - any help appreciated! Answers are pairs or duos. This answer should start with either D, E or F. This one looks like it is a phrase containing a pair or duo?

20. Equally desirable alternatives (5,3,3,4,4,3)

Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

[elliemay1]

Any ideas?

[cashier]

Can't get anything.

[Toorak]

Nope - I am no good at these

[elliemay1]

Me neither, have been trying for ages.

[geevo41]

devil and the deep blue sea?

[Toorak]

Well done - that looks like it :-)

[elliemay1]

But are they 'desirable'?

[cashier]

Well done geevo41.

[Toorak]

Equally undesirable hence equally desirable?

[cashier]

That's what I thought Toorak (after seeing the answer).

[Toorak]

We usually get there in the end... :-)

Thankyou everyone - elliemay1, cashier, toorak, and especially geevo41 - for your help.
(Sorry I made it harder than it should have been, the clue should have read 'equally UNdesirable alternatives'. Apologies for my error! But being the clever folks you are, you got it anyway. Thanks!)
