    I looked that one up. It's poorly drawn and a very poor pun in my view. So, when I found the answer I was pleased that I had not worked at it. But, definitely hats in air for anyone who worked it out.

    I got that one myself (looking at a map). It got a roll of the eyes when I found it.

    The ex husband has arrived for his annual visit... the boys getting wise to his normal plan of see a quick film and then drop them off until the next year have chosen a film which is 3 hours long and covers a meal time.

    If their plan works, I should have about 4 maybe even 5 hours clear tomorrow and of course, with them having a meal out with him, they get to spend quality time with him where he will have to actually speak and interact with them instead of just watching a film.

    Unfortunately, youngest has come down with another horrible cold, so I just hope ex keeps an eye on him as his asthma is a little eek right now and youngest has to be told when to take his inhaler (anybody got any tips on how to explain to an autistic child when to recognise he needs to take his inhaler, both myself and the asthma nurse have tried and he still doesn't 'get' it!)

    Your boys are not stupid and they have got the measure of him. If all three boys will be together and their father is useless, then could James (and middle son?) keep an eye on youngest's breathing and remind him about the inhaler?

    PS I am still stuck on the wretched cheese. Which line is it on? And I have moused over the entire picture and there is nothing else to click on but the cheese, but it is still saying I have only got 73. I am quite certain I have got another 11 since it said 63. :(

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    What type of cheese is it? What shape?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Thanks everyone for the clues. I still don't fully get the telly man clue or why they did it like that, but hey! Oh, and as for the Red Herring, I would have looked at tubes for the rest of my life before getting that.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Did you get the one on the side of the pub? It's not a difficult one, just not obviously there.

    PS the cheese, concentrate on the colour and what cheeese that represents. Then go with GDB's clues.

    Ah! Light dawns. The shape was what gave it to me. Thank you.

    I nearly asked 'what's that thing that looks like a temple?'. Thank goodness I did not make that mistake!

    Good suggestion, but no, I got that ages ago. All exploration with the mouse fails to reveal anything else that I can click, and all 12 of the things I wrote down when I was stuck at 63 have been ticked off and are no longer clickable. So I am claiming a moral victory and going to bed!

    That was fun - although there are other things I ought to have been doing. :o

    Good night all. :hello:

    At least you didn't publicly ask what the burning hole was:o.

    Sue, just wanted to wish you good luck with the visit. I have no suggestions re inhaler, but thought if he sat next to oldest, then he is a sensible type and he can tell him to take it if he needs it.
