3. Broth

[jillie]

Thanks for that. I had that originally but the croosed out as I had Jumbo for the rhyming part so that now is wrong. Oh dear, back to the drawing board!!

2. falsehood

[oldwoman]

Jillie not doing this. If you have Jumbo the answer could be Gumbo.

[jillie]

Hi Oldwoman, it has to rhyme with broth. Thanks

[jillie]

Sorry oldwoman, forgot to give you the clue. It is - Struck by a train in 1885 (5)
Thanks again

3 the answer is gumbo
1 doppelganger

[jillie]

Many thanks Bennattod - If it is Gumbo what is the hearty soup or stew as \I had broth which doesn't rhyme with gumbo?

[littlegriff]

gumbo is the stew, which rhymes with your jumbo

[jillie]

OH I see now, sorry I am being thick today, Thanks again
