A couple of questions from a comparisons quiz in aid of St. John's Hospice, Lancaster.
1. As merry as (4,2,4).
2. As close as (3,4,2,1,4,).
Help please.

Pigs in muck

[Vimto]

Thanks Danny but it doesn't fit the letters. Thanks also to "too good to hurry" but I already have "a pig in muck" for a different question of "As happy as (1,3,2,4)". Can you reconcile the two questions?

The nose on A Face

Mice at play

[murraymints]

Two coats of a paint

[murraymints]

Ignore that last one !!

[Vimto]

Mazie, "mice in malt" is very good. Apparently it's an old German saying. Thanks very much. Emeritus, you may well be right with "the nose on a face" but it doesn't really flow n'est-ce-pas?

Happy to help Vimto. Good luck with the quiz
