Stuck on 2 = 29 and 31. Can anyone give me a clue please?
No. 29 - the word cratchit in large black letters in a wavy shape.

No. 31 - the word CILLA in large white outlined letters which decrease in size from left to right

[fiction-factory]

Think Dickens for 29?

[percyverunce]

thank you fiction-factory, I have. I know he's in A Christmas Carol, but that can't be the answer, surely? It doesn't answer the instruction - say what you see.

[Tilly2]

So you see a wavy Cratchit? Are the letters undulating across the page?

[percyverunce]

Yes, and I've not touched a drop!

[percyverunce]

Is that a question or a clue, tilly2?

[percyverunce]

LOVE your friend, tilly2 - I have one of those - well almost - a Staffie cross

[Tilly2]

It's a question, Percy. I don't have a clue for you, I'm afraid.

I'll pass on your admiration to Tilly. She'll like that.

I've put Bob Crachit for 29. The letters are wavy i.e bobbing. I left a reply to your gingerbread answer for the Smithfied question. Did you get it? I'm afraid I've got mixed up today and have the same thread under Q & P and Family. Apologies to all.

[percyverunce]

Thanks Maisie Doats

[Tilly2]

Any luck with the Cilla one?

Losing Cilla? Cilla's demise? Cilla's gone?

I'm cross that the answer is Bob Cratchit! So blooming obvious. Thanks Maisie.

cilla is cinderella with the letters ndere missing, endear means beloved and cilla was much beloved,what do you think cos i`m stuck on this one to so any feed back would be appreciated.

[BigTony]

I have also considered white christmas and black christmas but none of my answers explain why the word cilla is descending.
