If nothing better turns up for the last one, try SNOWSHOE for a change in surface! It sounds like (It')S NO SHOE - but it is a shoe (that's confusing!)
These questions are all taken from the Farleigh Hospice annual quiz, which carries a �75 prize. The organisers are aware that this form of cheating is going on. Please bear this in mind when supplying answers.
Also bear in mind that there has yet to be a year when the organisers of the Farleigh Quiz haven't cocked up at least one clue, in one way or another (e.g. errors in number of letters for answer)
But I am intrigued to know how the organisers would know whether or not the entrants have "cheated" or not. Do tell......
