DaveH Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It is correct, it was just me not understanding the clue, or indeed the answer ... Correct but not to do with a mad hatter. 59. tea drinker precipice = A TEA CLIFF Which assembles as "Attercliffe" In a previous similar version of this quiz which I saw years ago (late 1980's) the corresponding clue was X. Where the sea ends Answer = AT A CLIFF Again, it assembles as "Attercliffe" Hey I've gone back into teacher mode!!! Why am I explaining all this? I'm rubbish at cryptic clues and this sort of thing, - I can't even finish a crossword puzzle :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
