Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
And I thought that would be mildly difficult as it's a less well known series. I was forgetting about Anita's encyclopaedic knowledge of course!

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
Sorry - the name of that series has just stuck in my mind for some reason!
Next one:
E P 11 T on H C.

No one seems to want to have a go at this. So here's a crazy effort.
Enid passed eleven trawlers on her cruise.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
Sorry - that's not it, Dave!
Clue: On the page I was looking at, the "C" is twice called a "C". However, it's also called a "C-of-D" once.
So we could say
E P 11 T on H C.
or we could say
E P 11 T on H C-of-D.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
Enid put eleven toys on her chest-of-drawers. Well,it sounds feasible.

A good guess but you've got a couple of words wrong, Dave.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
Is it: Elizabeth put eleven things on her chest-of-drawers from The Naughtiest Girl in the School, Anita?
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
I think that's a repeat of one you used four years ago, Anita. I more or less got it wrong then as I said trinkets instead of things, but you gave it to me anyway. Neverthless, I'd forgotten about it anyway.

Re: Blyton Ditloids Quiz
You're right of course, Eddie. Well done and over to you!
Sorry about the repeat, Dave. You did well to remember that I'd used it before - I'd completely forgotten!
