Agree with Beep that 38 could be sash - wasted = waisted?

Might pinch it for pre-school fundraiser!

JackieNo · 16/11/2005 13:21

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 14:11

GAM - of course I will (once I know whether all our answers are right ). It was one our Vicar got while on holiday in Jersey a few weeks ago.

We've got a few quiz boffins at our church - and when I heard even they were struggling with it thought I may have a chance with everyone's help.

3 - cope (the cope stone is the top one, and a cope is a ceremonial cloak)

Lonelymum · 16/11/2005 14:19

You are clever WWB, I have been thinking about that one all afternoon!

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 14:19

oooo - we can tell who the really clever ones on here now can't we....as all the more difficult ones are solved

OP posts:
WigWamBam · 16/11/2005 14:22

33 - served in a pub - shorts

JackieNo · 16/11/2005 14:22

There's a snake called a water moccasin, so could 8 be moccasins?

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 14:24

OP posts:
WigWamBam · 16/11/2005 14:25

44 - pastoral cut of beef - grass skirt

Lonelymum · 16/11/2005 14:29
  1. served in a pub is shorts! Read your answers QofQ!

I think the east end character is Spencer as that was the name of a woman's undergarment around 1800 (also, according to my dictionary, a short double breasted overcoat).

crunchie · 16/11/2005 14:29

46 - could it be Yashmak??

crunchie · 16/11/2005 14:31

forget it. that's the veil.

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 14:35

lonely I'm have a really busy week....and on top of that AF is on.........so you'll have to excuse me for missing answer

OP posts:
Mercy · 16/11/2005 14:44

Have we done no. 2 then?? I thought it might be jean's/jeans.

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 15:01

mercy - we've got "skirt" for no.2

OP posts:
Lonelymum · 16/11/2005 16:10

Jeans is better IMO as Jean is a girls name but they are worn by both sexes.

Skirt is a bit iffy I think. Men don't wear skirts as such, they wear kilts etc.

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 17:12

ooo actually - you're probably right there.

Jeans it is then

Just spoken to the vicar - as we had an afterschool worship at church - and no-one has completed it yet - so we're not far away from being the first

OP posts:
Mercy · 16/11/2005 17:16

Thanks Lonelymum - you explained it perfectly!

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 18:05

bump for evening crown - not many left now

OP posts:
Lulu68 · 16/11/2005 18:11

Have just checked in my dictionary and a Moccasin is either a heelless N American Indian shoe or a venomous N American Pit Viper - so my contribution is Moccasins

Hope I am right!

Lu

Lonelymum · 16/11/2005 18:19
