Charity Quiz Thursday May 30Th 2013

[Vimto]

A quiz with a local Lancashire flavour. All the answers are the names of rivers, streams, becks etc within Lancashire.

1. Brown bread dipped in gravy (6). I thought maybe "Ribble" but can't reconcile "rile" with "gravy".
2. Electronic replace self when in front (7).
3. Slobber loses the idiot (7).
4. Turn left on the roads (8).
5. Rear char (8).
6. begins saving the young doe deer (5).

Any help will be much appreciated.

[TheWinner]

sorry tommy.toon, just realised you answered ages ago........ der!

[TheWinner]

3. this is the one that is Ribble. (slobber = dribble, losing the idiot (the dunce = D = Ribble)

[Vimto]

Thank you tommy & winner. Winner, I think you must be correct with Ribble despite the number of letters required is shown as 7 as it's hard to leave out the main river in Lancadhire and the word play is perfect. Winner, I think Dunsop rather than Brunsop but you put me on the right track. Cottack, I have the list you refer to, ta. Just No.2 to complete; I thought "Wenning" but can't work out the word play. It seems such a clumsy clue. Any ideas would be very welcome Vimto.

[TheWinner]

I am late for work, but just a thought, I think number 3 might be the river Darwen.

I think the clue may relate to the famous (Charles) Darwin
E = for electronic
replaces "self" ("i)
got to go, will check back later.

[Vimto]

Yes Winner, I see if one replaces the "i" with "e" in Darwin as you suggest one finishes up with Darwen but the answer has 7 letters which wouldn't fit. Where do the rest of the letters come in? We are left with DARWN!! Let me know what you think.

[TheWinner]

Morning boss, sorry I'm late, I've been trying to solve a puzzle for vimto.

I got number 6.
The answer is Stydd (brook)
begins = (the beginning of the next words, i.e. Saving The Young Doe Deer)

[TheWinner]

re. number 2 I think I'm rubbish at best of times, but even worse when I'm in a rush. Will keep thinking.

[Vimto]

Thanks Winner; I have to tell you and I hate doing this but I solved this one whilst you were grafting away for your slave driving boss. However, I definitely award you with a "best answer" for all your efforts on my behalf. I now have all the answers, cheers, Vimto.

[TheWinner]

Oh vimto........... I couldn't wait to get home to let you know I had solved it. Anyway, put me out of my misery and tell me the answer to number 2 but more importantly, number 4. Thanks.

[TheWinner]

please put me out of my misery, vimto, I need to sleep tonight..........
