6. SPOLF! (4,5) FLIP FLOPS
This one jumped out at me but the other look like they will be hard. Let me print out the questions and relax on the sofa with a nice cold stout later today and give it another try. Right now I am totally stumped on the others. Is this a quiz that I would even have a chance of knowing the answers? |

Every answer is an item of clothing or jewellery.
3. Worn by men as well as jumbos. (6) Just a wild guess. Jumbo was the name of an elephant and elephants have TRUNKS and me wear trunks. Probably wrong but at least I'm trying.
4. Is in France following five in Rome. (4) Five in Rome is V and is in french is EST VEST
5. South following ovum in fish. (8) Is ROE any part of the answer?
7. Found hanging around in old Macdonald’s wardrobe. (3) This is a longshot but farmers wear bib overalls and a bib hangs around a babies neck so I'll try BIB
8. Cricketer’s headwear? (6,3) has to come type of CAP or HAP
10. Piece sung by a singer with a lisp? (5) I love this one THONG If you said song with a lisp that is the way it would sound
13. Useful in Japan or a kayak. (6) ANORAK
14. Thieves, by the sound of it. (8) This took a lot of different googling but I finally found that thieves are sometimes called KNICKERS.
15. Confused, so can miss wearing these. (9) MOCASSINS

5. South following ovum in fish. (8) Is ROE any part of the answer? No it begins with L then think of what ovum is in fish and you may get it.
7. Found hanging around in old Macdonald’s wardrobe. (3) This is a longshot but farmers wear bib overalls and a bib hangs around a babies neck so I'll try BIB .. It begins with M
8. Cricketer’s headwear? (6,3) has to come type of CAP or HAP...Think what one of the players does in cricket. Your other answers are correct.
