Thank you for your suggestions,Tilly2,but the answers have to do with North and South America and Canada.

Thank you.We've got to 5th July to get it The setter often makes one of the clues a bit devious but this one has me. and my friends completely stumped

quinie, if your where deciding between yankee or canadian, there is a bet called a canadian also known as a super yankee, so if your clue you were not going to bet too much, then the yankee would be the better option. the yankee is 11 bets and the canadian would be 26 bets costing you more.

[quinie]

Thank you for that info,katburd.I'll pencil Yankee in.Did think answer might be Yank but I'm too tired tonight to do any more thinking! Thanks again.

Wonder why your post was deleted,shatil007?

I know I shouldn't have responded to the "answer removed" but it has really upset me.I keep wondering what the poster said that prompted it to be removed.Anyway best forget it-more important things to worry about.
