I think that Q2 is ANGELICA

That is E = Spanish inside ANGLICA (?)

[Ternigapp]

Gosh, how quick - I just went to get a sandwich and found all the replies when I returned, thanks.

Any thoughts on no2 and then I can put it in the post.

Thanks again

[Ternigapp]

I wouldn't have got that! - thanks

Could 5 be Rosemary (wife of Sir Basil in the Herbs)?

[dancecaller]

not convinced about 2 or 7

[crofter]

I do like BourneStupid's clever answer of Rosemary for No 5 - and I can understand dancecaller's apprehension!

Angelica doesn't quite shape up! Certainly it is a plant -and E represents Spain (and therefore Spanish). The problem is with the English, since it is ANGLICAN that means English (not ANGLICA).

Also THYME could have been given a stronger clue (based on the homophone with TIME). That is "The sound of ticking" or similar.

Having said all that, if there's nothing better ....?

Can you tell me if this quiz is available?

Thanks

2. Bluebell . Spanish bluebells often offered for sale under the guise of English ones.

[Ternigapp]

Its a quiz I bought from a local shop being sold in aid of the Sea Cadet Unit.

[midhurst]

is it possible to get it by post?

[juliely]

No2 is the Bluebell.
