I ve sent mine but I remember this question and I went for a drink I know theres a section on drink but it was all I could come up with that fitted the question and number in clue. Christmas pudding was the thing everyone on here seemed to puzzle about as you do light it up with spirit.
Belatedly, I acknowledge and thank you for your comments, oddboddy. After much thought I, too, have opted for a drink that fits the letter numbers allowed, as I decided that I must post the quiz tomorrow (Tuesday) in time for 1st Feb closing date.
