Sherlock clue - I typed that earlier - just realised I've typed in the wrong shade of that colour!

Got them all now, thanks to this thread.

I'd have still been here Googling in a hundred years time to get the quartet one! The colours aren't even right, the yellow is much too yellow.

I’m so excited lol

I'm really pleased I got them all - I used to in the past, but last year I only got about a third of them (even with MN's helpful help) so it's great to feel I'm getting back on form.

What classic book is linked too/inspired by the place name on him

Me too. I’ve currently fly a pitiful 8/20 lol

You have all made me feel so stupid. I'm going to lie down.

I'm clearly missing very obvious things because some of my missing ones are things people have not been asking about.

I'm missing the map, the travel books and the cocktails.

The map I can't really tell what's going on. Joys of shitty vision and small screens (DH smugly got the Oceania one because I thought it was a car exhaust) so no idea

The cocktails I've tried every New York related cocktail name I can think of and looked through 2024 bestseller lists and can't find anything with a cocktail name.

The travel books. Beach related? There seems to be different UK/GB countries represented so some sort of travel around the country? With beaches?

The travel books. Beach related? There seems to be different UK/GB countries represented so some sort of travel around the country? With beaches? Very much over thinking it.

The cocktails I've tried every New York related cocktail name I can think of and looked through 2024 bestseller lists and can't find anything with a cocktail name.
Not the cocktail name the place name.

Thank you, got the cocktail!

The map I can't really tell what's going on. Joys of shitty vision and small screen

If you look at one of those maps on a board on a day out somewhere what does the pointer say?

FFS. I could have sworn I had tried the answer to the beach one already and got it wrong, hence the overthinking!

Just the map left.

I'm done. DD is doing it now. So hard not to help!

This is the slowest I've ever been, I've only got half of them. Can anyone give me a clue to the old soldier, the barbershop quartet and the melting cheese table please ?

@narrucO1 plenty of clues to those upthread

@narrucO1

It's not cheese

Why can I not get the girls in cowboy hats. I feel like I know exactly what it is and have tried every spelling and spacing variation but IT IS NOT IT. How can it not be it. Aaaaagggg

@PureBoggin

Have you put The in front ?

Soldier is part of a children's rhyme (second word) listing the professions of potential husbands - a novel by Le Carre....

Barbershop quartet - the colours of the waistcoats are the same as neapolitan ice cream and the clue references a series from the same city.

The melting cheese is not cheese but another dairy product often used in baking

I’ve got all of them apart from the last three, ugh!

comedy books table

Jazz music bookshelf

@ClaraSais

You've got the answer for jazz music bookshelf

@ClaraSais and two of the three words you need for the poster title

? I don’t get it but thanks for the help :)
