Well done so far.  I thought that number 12 was more likely to be .... Hassop??


23 - Tibshelf

24 -  Wingerworth

25 -  Boythorpe

Explain 23 and 24 please.
24, I thought "worth" for value of but don't get the  7 / 11 reference.
And Tibshelf?????

4 - Scarcliff

21 - Heage

Who's Mark Scar? I got the cliffe bit but couldn't link Mark to scar.
 And I'd never heard of Heage either...I was trying to link it somehow to Hathersage

A mark is another name for a scar.  Very simple really.

How come that all of my answers are challenged?  I assure you that Heage does exist and I'm confident that it will be the correct answer when Andy checks them.  :)

Because you are thinking on a higher level than our, (my), simple minds will reach!

Think they are all right except Worksop (which is in Notts) must work out what is left and re-post. Don't forget the logical order bit they don't zig zag all over.

Unless I've missed any these ones remain.

3) Quietly change weight
14) End of corporal punishment
15) Rocket Man
18 ) HCTID
20) Sign of a poor appetite

I'll leave it a bit longer before I give any hints
