A viewer from Australia sent this message: "Ned Kelly didn't have one eye! He didn't even lose an eye in the shoot out at Glenrowan. And when he was wearing his helmet, you couldn't even see his eyes through the slot." But another Australian viewer sent this explanation: "The reason for "Kellys eye" may have been referring to Ned Kelly's helmet, which had one large slot for his eyes that looked like one eye.") 2 One little duck: The shape looks a bit like a swan. 3 One little flea: Looks a bit like a flea. 7 One little crutch: Looks like a crutch. 8 One fat lady: Resembles the two halves of a large lady. 9 Doctor's orders: A pill known as Number 9 was a laxative given out by army doctors in Britain. Apparently in the second world war in Britain doctors wrote on sick notes a 9 pm curfew, thus if patients were found out of their homes after that time they were violating their sick note. (Provided by a visitor) The curfew story's not true. In the Great War, however, there was such a thing as a "number nine" pill, that was freely prescribed for virtually everything.

(Provided by another visitor) 10 Downing street: UK Prime Minister's address, 10 Downing Street. 12 Royal salute: As in, a 21-gun salute for a Royal birthday or other celebration. 13 Bakers Dozen: Bakers in olden times used to make one extra piece of bread/cookie etc to the dozen ordered by a customer so they could do a taste test before it was sold to the customer, hence the phrase. 17 Dancing queen: From the Abba song of the same name. Over-ripe: Opposite of tender; 14 and 17 straddle 16 which is sweet! 23 Lord's My Shepherd: From Psalm 23. 26 Bed and breakfast: Traditionally the cost of a nights' lodgings was 2 shillings sixpence, or two and six. 26 Half a crown: Equivalent to 2'6d. Or two and six. 39 The famous steps; all the steps: From the 1935 Hitchcock film 59 The Brighton Line: The London-Brighton service was no. 59.

65 Old age pension: 'Pension' age in the UK is at the age of 65. 76 Seven 'n' six - was she worth it?: The price of the marrige licence, seven shillings and six pence. A marriage license may have been 7/6 (37.5p in new money) once upon a time, but 7/6 was more recently the cost of a "short time" with a lady of negotiable affection.... (Provided by a visitor) 78 Heavens gate: it rhymes: heaven-seven, gate-eight. 80 Gandhi's breakfast: in reference to Ghandi�s famous peace protest, in which he abstained from food - Imagine him sitting crosslegged with a big empty plate in front of him, looking from above. Another suggested explanation: ate (8) nothing (0). 81 Corner shot: Generally used in Military clubs tambola aka housie in India; origin unknown. 83 Ethel's Ear: Fat lady beside ear-shaped three.
