[Frenchiefood]

b) She was accosted for hiding it away! (one word answer)

Thanks in advance for any help on these last two.x

[cashier]

Anyone?

[elliemay1]

Can't get anywhere with these. Might be easier if we knew number of letters

[Frenchiefood]

sorry, the quiz setter doesn't give numbers. Just that it is a one word answer. Keep thinking a) should be mushroom, but no idea how.

[enigma50]

You are doing better than I am. What do you have for 84 please? I don't want to post the question as it would make no sense without giving away 2 other answers

[Frenchiefood]

enigma, I think there is a mistake with this question. I think the "cross" should be between 46 and 60.

[enigma50]

Thanks I presume she will void the question or send us an email

b) Victoria (plum)

This is very "iffy"- explained by
Victoria's Secret!

[elliemay1]

Can you give a link to that please jj?

[pixie374]

b) Victoria

[JJ109]

Ellie Victoria's secret is a famous brand!
A secret is something hidden
Therefore Victoria hid something away
Victoria is a type of plum

I tried to link accosted / but although similar sounding to costard apple, a costermonger for instance is extended to a seller of fruit.
Whether this helps or hinders, I don't know!

[Frenchiefood]

JJ thanks so much for taking so much trouble. I have your suggested answer to another clue, which fits perfectly, so sorry Victoria and or plum isnt the answer. I am beginning to wonder if the setter has made a mistake?!

[elliemay1]

Thanks for explaining jj, sounds very plausible

[mallyh]

can I ask how you know Victoria or plum isn't the answer?

[elliemay1]

Apparently it fits another clue better

[mallyh]

oh ok thanks xx

[blaris]

Would b. be cos, as in the lettuce?

[mallyh]

[elliemay1]

[Frenchiefood]

[elliemay1]
