Can you explain gaggle Phil? I had the others and do you have any hints for 18 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 28 I am getting desperate now as I still have about 20 to find. :-(

GG is a horse,of course, and when they say "young horse" I took it to mean the name for a horse that a YOUNGster would use. Then there's the anag. of "a leg" outside.

The cackle I'm not sure about, except to guess that a gaggle would normaly be geese - do they "cackle"?

[btw I only noticed afterwards that you'd asked for clues!]

[Phil7]

Sorry, I forgot,... No, I don't know the questions.

[JoolsTwo]

Ok Thanks Phil.

18) Anagram of the first three words.

22)Where are pictures kept for public viewing

23) Think of an ancient Philosopher + on

24) an anagram (The word will mean Hospitality)

28) an anagram (The word will mean French Squadron.

Thank you very much - and I'm glad you explained gaggle, I don't think I would have ever got that!

[JoolsTwo]

Thanks Headley I have found them all now apart from 18. I am really not sure what I am looking for here. I have tried 2 different anagram search engines but I am still as much in the dark as I was to start with.

I have really struggled with this quiz, I am not good with cryptic clues. I am begining to wonder if I am going to finish at all. :-(

JimJools, the answer to 18 is a film title, and I think one of the characters of the film is called Holland. I got it by putting the first 3 words into an anagram search engine, and looking at the 8 letter words produced - from this I could guess the rest. Further clues to the 8 letter word are that it is a herb and a colour - and this is not the collective noun word. I don't know if this helps at all? (I am assuming you don't want the answer just yet)

[Headley]

Thanks catfish for helping out with the clue I gave I am not very good at clues without giving the answer completely.

[JoolsTwo]

Thanks catfish, hopefully that will help my search. You're correct I would perfer to 'TRY' and work them out for myself, with some help.
