tour of england

[olivia]

as a reminder for crofter and johnalex, I'm away for a few days so repeat the clues I am still stuggling with

1. In music part of a figure in which subject and answer are brought closely together, half an em (somewhere between grantham and water newton)

2. trace; mixed up undress (east of canterbury)

3. there's one in Holloway (the only holloway I can find is in derbyshire, asearch of this reveals only one pub, the yew tree, I think the answer may be a B&B in the east sussex area, north of eastbourne)

4. a tiny ammount of money, reverse american numeracy, fashion(I will use southampton as suggested although we cant see where the letter P comes in)

5. Mix up poetic frequently and to be informed( I think this is going to be a B&B, guest house or hotel, somewhere north of towcester, ? frequently=oft, Informed=told, so three of the letters in HOTEL are included here)

best of luck and thanks again

Not sure how this quiz works, but....

There's a place north of Eastbourne called Pevensey Bay which has a castle.  There's a pub in Holloway Road (London) called The Alwyne Castle.

Any good?

[spudqueen]

I'm with ipek, not really sure what you're on about, but there is a whole area of London called Holloway, it's where Holloway prison is.

Hi Olivia  -  Just to let you know that both this and your previuos message have been read.  Crofter and I are still on the case but running out of ideas.  Hopefully our other members will save the day!  Regardz ja.

[olivia]

thank jonhalex

[johnalex]

Thanks Olivia  -  Can you check 'Burlow' in Hampshire?  Do you mean 'Burley' (near Ringwood).  Similar probs with 'Heathfield'  -  no hits in Hants!  Cheers . . .

JOHNALEX

I have already used burlow against the clue reverse stroke, mediocre

[olivia]

quizmaster, no I havn't attempted the mileage yet

[Quizmaster]

Hi Oliva

Alfreton is made up like so, frequently = oft, to be informed = learn .From the Chambers English Dictionary. I have also got Little London down twice that's all i could think of that fit this question as I lived in Holloway many years ago and their is a part of the village that is called Little London.  As  for the Hotels I have only  four it does not say that they stopped in six hotels they could have stopped in one of them for more than one night                                           

[olivia]

O.K. quizmaster thanks again

[olivia]

Quizmaster, just one question, how do you arrive at stretton in answer to clue No. 14

[Quizmaster]

Hi Olivia  

Back again,  STRETTO means what the first part of the question reads, and half of em which stands for the letter m, 1/2 this letter gives you the letter n    

Hope this makes sense to you

Good luck with the quiz            

[olivia]

thanks quizmaster, I think I've done it all now, just have to work out the mileage

[olivia]

quizmaster, just one thing is still worrying me, it"s the southampton answer, can you explain how it fits the clue
