Some easy, some may be alterative spellings, hyphenated or Britspeak, and a few that may need the Stitchionary. There may even be the odd two-word answer... Plenty to go round, so feel free to grab two or three. CRATER-1. Root vegetable -2. Drink of the gods 3. Groove or notch let into a board [b]or a partial refund[/b]-4.

An excellent selection, ladies and gentlemen!  Joan - I'll give you a special mention for #29. It's not mine, but it fits "saucy" perfectly. Unfortunately I was thinking of the other meaning of "saucy"  manxman - not my answer for #19 (but "carpet" does appear elsewhere....)

Think I've got rid of the anomalies (you may think another term would be more appropriate) Thought these weren't going as fast as usual. When this is finished will file it under "Couldn't organise a striptease in a nudist camp"
