A grand day out there to go for?

The moon?

 

[keys]

well done!

actually - where to go for a grand day out?

poWer bank

PM your email if you would like the pocket money

ahhh, had been giving me a headache for the last couple of days - you gave most of it away with the last clue, and now I feel like I've jumped in at the end when the other guys had done most of the work. Still haven't got the missing words though.

And don't worry about the pocket money - you could buy something nice for the food bank trolley on your next supermarket visit - give someone a treat somewhere.

We want more puzzles... lol

hijklmno H to O = H2O = water But I am a chemist - is that cheating?

A variation - but since most people were not around in 1968, I've provided the answer -

blind mice? - mark on a compasss? - 200 and what? 'a space odyssey' - Eddie Grant's group - The Beatles?
three N one = four

WYBMADIITY?
