Little tip folks, just use "quote" and put you answers at side of clue, with your nom de plume, then use edit if you get more answer's.


Keep on crypting, Bill Tomo. :wink:

Lily, a Danny Marr (or a jam jar) is a motor car thus Danny
Lewis's dept store you got so Danny Lewis

Just noticed Freda's MEANING PEARL -think that's the meaning of the name Margaret so Margaret Willee???

also is IRISH COLLEENS LAUGH another of Freda's or just a comment on how she's feeling? :P

Patricia's are really cryptic - still no ideas there.
