Hi GG ... Can't help with 45 surprise surprise
48. I have an answer from a fellow ABer and it does seem to fit or do you want clue.
I don't know what the symbol means but epi means on / upon etc. xx
Hi again ... the answer suggested was
Way upon the chimney top ???
If the symbol means caret (carrot ? ) I wonder now if it's right. Oh dear, running out of time to decide aren't we. xx
Dustybun ... yes, this is the Ebony one but no one either knows or is divulging that one. If anyone has it I think it will be the clincher ... sadly, as we speak, it is not I xx
thanks earthakitten. I do hope that when the quiz is over and done, and the answers are announced, some kind person will post the ebony one on AB. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has acquired a few bald patches because of that one!!!
the other thing that occurs to me about the flue and epi one is that there is a custom somewhere of leaving a mince pie for santa and a carrot for the reindeer - could it be fuel (anag) for the reindeer? Yes, I'm wittering again!! :O)
