[katmarrow]

Help! I know there is plenty of time to do this quiz but I haven't solved one for days. ( I am waiting for other quizzes to come in the post, meanwhile this is the only one I have to think about and its driving me mad)
Please I need assistance just to get my brain going again

39.decorative weaving
just a hint would be gratefully received

[katmarrow]

sorry i should have mentioned that the answer is a place in the uk which contains the name of a bird

[kipper68]

Having sent off for this quiz and received both my cheque and request returned in
the envelope I sent with absolutely no explanation, just wondered how you managed
to get yours.

Thanks in advance

Hello kipper68,
Have you looked back at the question you posted yesterday. If so you may have possibly got mixed up somehow with where and to whom you made the cheque payable to. I am running this quiz and I have not returned any cheque to anyone. In your posting yesterday, you asked about Buxton Air Ambulance quiz which I responded and also gave you the answer of the Scottish Isle which you were asking. I also put the folllowing link to the quiz:

39 - could it be what you do for macrame - kn...ing? (Bedfordshire)

[katmarrow]

thank you so much tox, i wouldnt have thought of that. fancy another fungal disease,two points, branched plant , again answer is place in uk containing name of bird. think its thrush something but cant find the place

[smouse]

how many words to you know for a branched plant
add them to bird and the obvious two letters for 2 of north south east west

I still worry you are going to ask all this bit by bit

[katmarrow]

thanks again smouse. No I am not. I have done most of it, just stuck on last few

[quinie]

katmarrow, the place does begin with thrush so you'll find it in the site I told you about. smouse gave you a good clue. I was stuck on no 39 so I'm happy to get that one answered. Never thought about macrame and I used to do quite a lot of it. I've still got 10 to puzzle out but I've been too busy. I'll get back to it after Christmas.

I am also doing this quiz and it is a brain teaser, Quinie I am struggling to find the site you refer to ? Googling a "A list of United Kingdom Locations" brings many lists but none containing the above mentioned one? Is that the actual name of the site?

PS I am NOT asking for the answer to the clue.

Thankyou.

[katmarrow]

hello again quinie. I think I must not be looking at the correct site, I can't find any place that starts with thrush and I have also looked at other sites. I think I'm probably looking at the same ones as mamyalynne. is "list of uk locations" the name of the site

Hi Katmarrow
If you want to check a UK placename exists or you know part of it you can do a search on www.gazetteer.co.uk

Re 10 - The programme was Falcon Crest + beavers home
41 - Thrush =es = bush (Essex)?
Am still trying to work out No. 2, 15 and 28.

[katmarrow]

hello again tox, thanks for your reply
think no.2 is Cockshead
15 think 1st part is snipes but not sure about detective but for now i've put Snipeshill
and 28 I've got Rose-an-grouse

not sure whether they are correct

[katmarrow]

thanks also to calibax

[quinie]

hi ,katmarrow, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. You're quite right- the one beginning with Thrush isn't on that site. I found it in the AA Road Atlas-Thrushesbush. Must admit no 48 has me stumped. mamyalynne my apologies - no 41 wasn't on that site but I've got most of my answers from it.

[tox]

Thanks katmarrow for response.
48 - If you Google the TQetc it will give you the place name. (Bird of prey like 10.)
That was one of the first I did!.
Best wishes.
