I can get 14 out of the 20 after a wee bit of googling some bits, but utterly stumped on:

The butcher's
The blue car
The girls on the swings
District of Columbia
Daisy and Coco in the chimney smoke
and the bee/level crossing sign.

Anyone far brighter than me please save my rattling little brain?

What's in the butchers window?
What type of car is it?

The bee crossing is a play on words, and it’s an autobiography of the wife of a US pr.

I'm stumped on the Butchers too. The blue car is An American Marriage.

@Dragonfly It’s an old book - 50s/60s? It’s literally a description of what’s in the window, I assume the name of the butcher is a character in it?

Book titles game - The butchers is exactly what's in the window

Gingerkittykat · 15/11/2019 01:38

@CoolCarrie Thanks so much, was stuck on that one.

Hi

Any clues please for :
District of Columbia
Al's pharmacy
Agnes's augeries and
the couple walking in the road???

CommunistLegoBloc · 15/11/2019 08:29

DoC - think state associated with it, plus the colour of the sign.
Al's pharmacy - another word for pharmacy plus who owns it
Agnes' augeries - if you haven't read the book you won't get this, but there was a reason Amazon TV adaptation with a former Doctor...
The couple - what do their t-shirts say? Think of a synonym for those words, plus plural of a synonym for human...

Lizziebeth2 · 15/11/2019 09:05

Thank you

LVanP · 15/11/2019 09:23

19/20 – just cannot get the Daisy & Coco one. Thought Chanel's Riviera, but not so... Sad

Reachedsohigh · 15/11/2019 11:27

Daisy - Marc Jacob's
Coco- Chanel
What are they?

Birdmate · 15/11/2019 12:01

I'm still stuck on Al's Pharmacy –and it's my last one! Any other hints?

Damntheman · 15/11/2019 12:02

Bird you need a nother word for pharmacy, and then stick it on the end of Al. It was tenuous as fuck!

kingsassassin · 15/11/2019 12:04

Coco and Daisy are both types of ?

What city is in District of Columbia and what colour is the sign

Birdmate · 15/11/2019 12:13

Bingo! Thank you so much

whitestephens16 · 15/11/2019 12:59

Any clues on Saline Way please ? that's the only one I'm not stumped on ?!

whitestephens16 · 15/11/2019 13:00

Now stumped on that shoudl have said or else why would I ask ?!

whitestephens16 · 15/11/2019 13:02

Got it: for anyone stuck the bird is a red herring, its just the the saline and the sign that provide the answer

Hoppinggreen · 15/11/2019 13:03

The salt road/path ?

Tigger51 · 15/11/2019 16:27
