London saw cut off a paw

[jessiedog]

Just answered Rabbit on this weeks Giles and remembered that there is a rabbit (rabet) saw and rabbit paws are supposed to be lucky (not for the rabbit). London would be capital and rabet saws are used to produce capitals.

However, someone has suggested rabbit as the answer for 40 - don't mention this on Portland (not an answer I understand - could any one explain this to me ?

I am now missing 25 county of elgin etc, 42 Frank Bainimarama, 45 Brewed in Blandford, 68 now you see me etc, 73 one contained 3 hands etc, 88 Satan of the apple isle, 98 Dubai 20 etc.

Any help gratefully recieved.

jessiedog .. I don't know the theme of this quiz, but do know that " Badger Beers" are brewed in Blandford, if that helps?

Many Thanks sarumite, the quiz is Children of Fiji Animal Quiz and has been featured many times on Q&A and the answer I have given seems to be one that is needed by several people.

Hi jessiedog. London saw cut off a paw has been given as bear on AB as a bear's paw is cockney rhyming slang for a saw.

As for the Portland rabbit question, this link should clarify it:

Where have you been - all these answers have been discussed till we are nearly all hairless - lol
25 antelope
42 mara
45 badger
68 chameleon

Thanks for all of those smouse, I knew that I had missed several really easy (with hindsight) answers and have duly kicked myself. I have searched the site several times prior to this post and did not see the answers I needed discussed, so finally gave in after my moment of (uninspired but plausible) inspiration and asked. I am still not convinced by Springbok so will leave it for a while before sending in. If I think of any answer I promise to share it.
