BILLERICAY COAST QUIZ

[teddysbears]

can anyone help with a clue for no 48 Mail on Sunday political observer (8) thank you

[redcrane]

The answer is obvious and it doesnt involve asking anyone else lol

[barfred]

I'm afraid its not obvious to me , "hints" would be nice,BARFRED

[teddysbears]

I agree with barfred, I cannot see it so any hints would be nice. thank you.

[galasalmon]

I think it is 8th letter rhyming with place for cooking . Hope this helps as someone once told me my clues were worse than the question,

[julia-mag]

I BEG FORGIVENESS FOR BEING STUPID, but, I cant find a place on the google map called xxxxxxxx as suggested. Please shine a light!!!!!!!

[Mancunian]

If you are suggesting the Answer is Peter Hitchins is it ok to knock the s off, the place is Hitchin in my Atlas which is only seven letters.Or maybe I am reading you wrong.

[teacher1]

Hitchin is not near the coast ! ;o)

[Mancunian]

Yes I know, really thinking what galasalmon wrote the 8th letter and rhymes with a place to cook.At least I think I understood what they were trying to say.

[julia-mag]

We are back on the old round-about again, because it has to be on Google map ON /NEAR coast and Hitchen (with only 7 letters not 8) is in Hertfordshire (inland) HELP!!!!! Someone must be able to throw some sort of light on this one, Setter has issued an explanation on website, but I am none the wiser.

[Mancunian]

Perhaps redcrane will relent and give us a clue.

[teddysbears]

sorry i aked the question in first place , it is doing my head in. redcrane must be very good at this game, think I am getting past my see by date. cheers P

[chelle7272]

I'm not doing this, but if it's any help I have seen Galloway suggested as a possible answer?

[chelle7272]

Oh and i wouldn't take any notice of redcrane, this question has been posted a lot, it seems a lot of people are stuck on this one. Redcrane muct be blessed with a superbrain :-)

[emeritus]

The quiz setter describes the places as

We have received a query asking for a definition of the places that are the answers to the quiz. The majority are towns, cities, villages or district of them. The rest are specific coastal locations you will find on the map, but not large geographic areas that include parts of the country that are inland

[teacher1]

lol .... That was my query to them ;o)

[teacher1]

Galloway unfotunately is a very large area ! There is A Mull of Galloway, but of course that's too many letters.

[ladyalex]

If you google Mail on Sunday political correspondents, you will find an answer that is 8 letters and is a coastal location, perhaps not a town, but it fits the setter's definition of the answer.

[teddysbears]

I give up it beats me!

[julia-mag]

I'll join you teddybear. Shall we have a picnic on the coast somewhere?

[teacher1]

Can I join you ? I'll bring a paper to read ..... MOS ok ?
