WTW and mazie,


redheap is asking for cryptic clues, NOT the answers. Look at the title of his/her post.

Question Author

Well if you are gonna be pedantic! Answers are what I am after.


Thanks for the answers guys, all seem great except for sanddune which does not fit the letters already existing..thought MacDonald was inspired and had no idea about the plastering one!



Keep 'em coming if you can, and if you have any ANSWERS Gen2, then they would be gratefully received!


A ridge of windblown sand is Yardang

redheap, There are actually some people on this site that DO want clues rather than the answer. I thought you were one of those.


To solve the cryptic clues I gave you earlier:


Not a Burger King from Scotland. = Macdonald


Scots term out of 'Drinka Pinta Milka Day' = ilkaday


Robert remains to staeady the bowsprit = bobstays


Three feet on a new German = yardang






Could labourers be Operatives?

??GRE?? - group of 3 singers

Could this be degrees (The 3 degrees)


Isn't this the Vitai Lampada thingie we were doing in mid December??
