A-Z of Common Sayings

This is slightly different from a game by Tezza from a couple of years ago and is based on a quiz which had 40 of these sayings and stretched the brains of my wife and I for at least a week.

You have to guess the saying from the starting letters, for example A S I T S N - a stitch in time saves nine. I’m not sure every letter will have a saying so the starting letter can go up to 3 ahead - so B/C/D after A. You don’t need to wait for an OK to set the next clue - you’ll know if you’ve got it right.

I’ll start with the letter B and the clue is:

B I O S D

(The next one should start with a C, D or E)

Eventually the Scottish blood kicked in LT - funnily enough had an excellent free day in your part of the world around 10 days ago at Dumfries House. Must be one of the best places to visit in Scotland...

Cheap at half the price

Familiarity breeds contempt

Amac, I am glad you enjoyed your time at Dumfries House. I have heard such good reviews of it and it is on my list to stay overnight in the near future.

Home is where the heart is

Had to Google "grist to the mill", as I hadn't heard it before.

I think it’s more often said as “It’s all grist to the mill” meaning we’ll make use of it somehow. Still trying to work out your next clue...
