Bloomin' Beautiful Quiz - Closing 30 November 2020

[Hazlinny]

Please can anyone help with a clue, please. Cryptic clues to names of flowering plants, shrubs and trees.
8,What some money grubbing women are spoken to do (8)
33. Member of the University spy group all confused (7)

[bluebell56]

Oh dear here we go again! Can't we just let it lie. Hazlinny admitted it was her mistake. Don't we all make mistakes from time to time. I'm sure a clue wouldn't be appreciated.

[bluebell56]

Sorry should say 'would be' appreciated. I have 4 left on this quiz and No.33 is one of them.

The Ed also said we could point out if a setter had said a quiz was no asking which is all Angie55 did. Some people will then choose not to answer

[Mamyalynne]

I will sympathise with Hazlinny on this one - the top of the quiz is very crowded and quite small print and on my copy the dark red looks almost black so the no asking merges in with everything else.

It's a tough quiz but a good one, good luck all.

[bluebell56]

Well said Mamyalynne. We do quizzes to enjoy them and support charities etc. No need to bicker over a silly mistake. We are lucky to have Answerbank and I for one am truly grateful.

[Mamyalynne]

It's an age old problem,one person's oversight is seen by some as blatantly ignoring setter's requests.

Easier to rub along - quizzers unite!

Calling someone a cheat is a little more than pointing something out.

[Llanfair]

You are the limit, Danny. You trusted that Angie would not criticise people when they make mistakes on quizzes where the setter has stated 'no asking'. That is encouraging cheats and you admit you have no conscience on the matter. Shameful!

[Mamyalynne]

Llanfair, not for the first time you are getting hot under the collar for no good reason,a mistake was made and an apology given.

Leave it now.

[smouse]

I can't see where she called them a cheat unless it is one of the removed threads

[dannyk13]

Smouse, Llanfair used the word cheat and Angie agreed with him,Yes, both answers were removed.

[Llanfair]

Your opinion, Mamyalynne. Just as mine that this is a cheat's paradise. Encouraged by moderators with no conscience. Mistakes are one thing, encouraging cheats entirely another.

[Mamyalynne]

It is my opinion,yes and another of mine is why you bother to visit if only to nitpick and name call I'll never know - I dislike deliberate flouting of rules and requests but there's little point howling at the moon - trust me, it isn't worth it.

This was a mistake, let it go.

[Llanfair]

I did not call anybody a cheat, Danny! Stop pretending I did!

[Llanfair]

Let it go when a moderator deliberately states something that isn't true? Where does that get us?

[dannyk13]

Llanfair.//
/I did not call anybody a cheat, Danny! Stop pretending I did!//
You stated that what the OP was doing was cheating, so by inference you are also calling the OP a cheat.

[JJ109]

Llanfair - I saw the answers that were removed, you called AB a cheat's paradise, and by implication, AB members were cheats.

Angie agreed with you!
