hello big dave, great to hear from you, hope you are well, thats a rather dapper suirrel, wish he would come up with an answer to the last one!

[Christiana]

83 Run from the midst of etc. I have 'at the double' with a ? I can see that 'at the' is he middle of 'rat they' but can't relate 'double' to the rest of the clue.
Also stuck on 73 for which I have an answer I'm not satisfied with.

[swannbaker]

Christiana - the clue then goes on to say "eAT THEm" thus completing the double .

Christina for 73 I have TOMTOM

Any assistance please with 17, 30 or 60

[rogerr]

17--got it this morning! New Zealand flatworm
30 twayblade
60--no idea yet!

[rogerr]

Can anyone help with 12, 42, 43, 51, please

[Christiana]

Thanks for explanation re. 'at he double' Swannbaker. How silly I didn't see the repeat.
I, too, got New Zealand flatworm this morning!/

The answer I wasn't satisfied with was 'tomtom''. I can see vague connections with various NURSERY rhymes, but that's all.
No. 60. A VIP is someone who is? (6 letters, 1st word) and Amen is? LAST (two) WORDS. The whole answer is '****** Bognor' (something a VIP says on his death bed!)

[Christiana]

Rogerr. The girl married someone who will one day be sovereign. Put her with an abbreviation for sovereign. The next word is identical. It is also an abbreviation for 500 + 1 and an abbreviation for thousand.

[Christiana]

I haven't got 51 yet either. 43 Word for two, often used of people performing (3 letters) + short forms of Dennis and Alan plus a 5 letter word for an open sore.

[rogerr]

Tom Tom is a version of Sat Nav--think of Kay!!!
and thanks for the clues--will go and work on them.

[halcyon days]

Christina- I got the answer tomtom from the nursery rhyme and also from tomtom sat nav( help to navigate ones way home)

[Christiana]

Thanks, hadn't realised about the sat nav. Was also concerned that Tom Tom was two words, so that helps that query too.
