3 The Disney Store

[Quizmonkey]

The clues are also bad! In Debenhams there's no indication of the 'en'. And Loopy-Loo should be Loobie-Lou.

And should we boycott it anyway as the questioner seems to have answered none him/herself!

[Quizmonkey]

Can't see why 14 is Halfords...is there a Linfords? (reverse of nil).

[Quizmonkey]

17 Clarks ?

[Jenny18]

I agree with you Quizmonkey the clues and the answers have very weak connections and no there isn't a Linfords on the High Street that I am aware of.
Maybe there is somewhere in the country.

Like your last answer C for a Hundred and Larks for singers.

Very good most sensible answer so far.

12 might be Adams (reverse hidden) - think it's a kids' clothes chain.
