31. Pick and Mix ? . . . . is this related to Q14 ?

[vegasmad]

31. pick and mix - pick (choose), hand (a measurement to do with the number fourteen I think), mix (jumble).

[johnalex]

31. reckon this must be Pick 'N' Mix . . . . N=14th letter

[vegasmad]

Oh, of course johnalex ! I knew that I wasn't quite right but just couldn't get it! :-)

[johnalex]

Thanx vegas - call it a double-act! ja

[poodledoo]

i've got customer for another answer gen2, but I think the second part of no 17 is OK on its own.Good thinking for no 31 johnalex-I was trying to make an anagram of opt+xiv( to no avail). No no 31 isn't connected to no 14 but this question setter does lots of devious things, so good thinking.thanks vegasmad for your answer too.
