The Cowes ferry.

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:56:22

Cut off at 1000 posts!

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:56:41

Where have you all gone?

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 22:00:44

I'm here!

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 22:01:22

Oh! That's a good guess!

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 22:01:35

But where is WB?

Ana Tue 08-Nov-16 22:03:39

Blimey, give him a chance! grin

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 22:04:56

He doesn't deserve one with a pun like that.

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 22:05:17

But we want to know! grin

Ana Tue 08-Nov-16 22:06:30

Actually, I don't see how the Cowes Ferry could really be classified as an 'object'...

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 22:07:00

Sorry, only just realised we had reached the limit, I've been trying to post.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 22:08:50

Yes Elegran. The Isle of Weight Ferry

Hence say what you see, Cowes

Well done.

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 22:10:06

Well done indeed! ?

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 22:10:45

I was willing everyone to establish the size.

The joke clue, what is brown and steams out of cowes.

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 22:12:50

You're too clever for your own good WB grin

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 22:14:05

Good night all. Enjoyed the games tonight.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 22:15:25

But Elegran is cleverer smile she is in tune with my cryptic clues.

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 22:20:02

You missed out backwards. What is brown and steams out of Cowes backwards. I wish I had posted "Do you get a ticket to Ryde?"

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 22:20:56

Ana a ferry boat is an object.

Ana Tue 08-Nov-16 22:37:01

Yes, you're right of course Elegran, I think it's just that I always think of an 'object' as being quite small. Which I admit is wrong! smile

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 22:38:57

Would anyone else like to start the next round? I intended to have a reasonably early night - I was sidetracked onto the Isle of Wight ferry.

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 22:54:58

I thought we'd been closed for being cheeky or something!!!

wot Tue 08-Nov-16 22:56:29

I did wonder if the answer was a cowpat!

Swanny Tue 08-Nov-16 23:24:32

There used to be a very popular postcard of the Isle of Wight with different teasers, such as Cowes you can't milk, Needles you can't thread, Ryde where you walk, Freshwater you can't drink, Newport you can't bottle and Lake where you don't get your feet wet.

Just one of those useless bits of information that stick in your head grin

I think they're quite clever,swanny!
