How many letters and any placed?

[gen2]

Maybe.
Is this a crossword clue?
Is it a cryptic?
How many letters?
Do you already know any of them?

[factor-fiction]

Is there a theme to this quiz please?

[The Gibbon]

Sorry Scorpiojo
The answer is an island
Don't have any other info

[scorpiojo]

UK or anywhere?

[The Gibbon]

Ooooop!
Just had a brainwave
Think the answer is Phillipines

Thanks to everyone

The only other one I haven't got is:
Can a man live here, course he can!

[jeffa]

The Philippines isn't exactly AN island, though, rather a country made up of over 7,000 islands.

>Can a man live here, course he can!

CORSICA

Man who lives there is a Corsican (sounds like 'course he can')

Happy to help. I'm still not convinced about the The Phillipines one, although I have no better suggestion at the moment. I have tried several prince names (George, Harry, William, Charles, Andrew, Edward, Philip) and tried synonyms for 'pine' such as LONG and YEARN- even 'evergreen' or 'fir'- but I can't make them into an island name

[factor-fiction]

The best I can come up with is Evergreen Island. Pine can = evergreen. I'm not sure about the 'our Prince' bit though unless it's argued he is Green in political terms

[Tilly2]

Is the quiz theme 'islands' or 'an island'?

[factor-fiction]

Hi Tilly- are you still wondering if the answer is Philippines?
It may well be right but I wouldn't have expected PINES to be in the clue and the answer

[factor-fiction]

The Gibbon seemed happy with The Philippines and on reflection it's probably right
