I must admit that I concentrated on the connector itself and expected an answer which is the inverse of the correct one. However, if you know what a salient is, look for a synonym which is particularly relevant to the MW6-2

Peter, Jeremy and anyone else who has got to a similar position: it might be interesting to know which questions have, so far, eluded you, to see if there is anything in common.
I might be able to steer you in the right direction - without giving too much away, of course!

Suggest you look for a person's name. 6. You know what the wireless bit is, so just say it! 8. Well, it's not Barking, exactly 11. Hmm, not happy about this one - I'd concentrate on recidivist. 14. Interesting - I thought this one was easy! Chuff! 15.Concentrate on the first and last words of the clue. 16. What does a streetwalker do? The ordnance is singular. (Should be an easy one for Mike/Crackle! ) 17. How do you carry out that task? 21. Look up keratin and you should find something suitable for the pupose! 23. Haven't a clue who or what Kibbler is - if somebody knows, please do tell. However, it is a person's name for what I prefer to think of as an unwanted effect.

Peter, if you know as much about the geography of Greater London as I know about Edinburgh, you won't be aware that Barking is only about 5 miles from the Isle of Dogs but there will be folk here that do. I wouldn't like to mislead anybody so I think I ought to stress that this proximity has nothing whatsoever do do with the hint!

Many thanks for the extra clues Terry. With your help I've now got #21 but I'll still need to apply more brain power for the rest. Somehow I don't think they would have enrolled me for Hut 6.

I'm only missing: 3,8,11,14,16,23 now.
I thought the bonus clue I gave you for 16 was handing it to you on a plate!
14 indicates that your schoolboy non-electronic interests were obviously different to mine! 8 - I thought I'd pointed you in the right direction but, obviously, if you've never heard the place name it isn't going to help you. 3, 11 and 23. Well I think I made my thoughts on these plain!

OK, I've just got 14. Thanks.
I think I know the second word of 16. but not the first. I do have an answer for 8. that I have driven past on the motorway many times but I can't relate it to the Isle of Dogs so it might be wrong. As to 3, 11 and 23 I know you are trying to guide me but.... brain just won't engage. Thanks, Peter |
