The following 'cryptic' clues all relate to towns or cities in Britain. There are no given number of letter to the answer, but the first letter of the answer is given. I have tried to solve but now need the help of ABers, so any answers will be greatly appreciated. A couple of examples follow:

a) I saw no ford there (W) Ans: Watford.
b) Without a hat? (I) Ans: Ilkley.

The ones I need help with follow:

1. Too late to ask for B & B, the door is closed - answer starts with B
2. No, not where the calendar girls live - answer starts with N
3. Installation with an electrician with hiccups? - answer starts with I (i, not l)
4. Bees on a return journey - answer starts with H. (I ahve found Hive, in Yorks E R, but it is only a tiny hamlet, so presume that it is not the right answer.

Not sure about no. 5 - We didn't stop for the picnic. I have Nuneaton.

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all ABers. Ticknall19

3 might be Ipswich

The original calendar girls came from Knapely. Perhaps the answer to question 2 is Napeley, near Market Drayton.

Many thanks for your answers. I waited to see if any more were forthcoming before I posted my thanks, but no luck so sent it in with my own thoughts after updating with your answers. Ticknall19
