I've been monitoring the hints on Q73 and am obviously as thick as a plank because I still don't get it. I can find 'emperors' followed by 'colours' but putting them together does not get me any 'toast'... What is it I'm missing here?? - apart, obviously, from a decent brain!
Thanks to lakegirl and Google I have at last found an answer to no. 73. For 93 try a tax in anagram of 'a real'. Could anyone help with hints for 57 and 96? Willing to swap ideas as these are my last two.
No.57
I'm slightly put off by the spelling, but try an alternative word for salesman or a person selling something and prefix it with a couple of letters from the clue.
No.96
Put the first word at the end, with a name for a sailor in the middle and once again a couple of letters from the clue at the front.
That sounds very long-winded, hope it's correct, no guarantees!
