THIGHHIGH ?

Four H's in that one mick, and it doesn't start with H,G or I as specified, so not the answer on the card and is it one word or two? Good effort though.

Highlight.

Highlight.

Spot on Gibbo, well done. The guy who sets those on Radio Newcastle usually says there is only one word which fits, and for that one highlight is the one.

Granted it didn't start as specified which I missed but as there were 2 mystery letters I didn't see why one couldn't be another H Well done Gibbo!!

Can I suggest something as a stopgap answer to keep number one in the queue?

I was number 2 at Chez Falcon, but I was posting it up here before I put my mind to the question. If you were very quick you may have seen that I had to edit my version 1 of the post because I had left a trailing "I" in the quiz from a copied post. Took a little time so only got the silver medal today.

No I didn't see that, I answered about 9 mins after you posted having spent 2 working out the answer!!

This is the context of todays word of the day, Judges Postcards mentioned here

viewtopic.php?p=773412#p773412

Fred Judge (11 June 1872 – 23 February 1950) was an English photographer of all parts of the British Isles and founder of the company. Judge was born at Old Market Place, Wakefield, the son of Joseph Judge, a corn dealer, and Harriet Judge (née Waldron).

Judge moved from Wakefield in 1902 and purchased Algernon Booker’s photographic business at 21A Wellington Place, Hastings. Initially his business directory entry makes no mention of postcards: “landscape photographer, lanternist and photographic materials dealer”. Apart from lantern shows, these activities continued to be a major part of his business, prior to 1910.

Another Word Game from Haggard Hawks/Radio Newcastle

Looking for a seven letter word...only one fits.

A N ? ? ? M E

Hint if you think you have got it in seconds...you haven't. Check the dictionary spelling of what you think it is and you will find that it is wrong. I very much made that mistake.
