Thanks to you I �ve already found the missing answers... The problem was related to the ice-cream...
If I use LOLLY, I can use the word cereal as an answer for b. And answer c. also fits the crossword...
Thank you so much for your replies...
Hugs,

Glad you solved it
Just out of interest ....
Ice lolly is common in the US I believe.
In Australia you would say nothing else but ice-block!!!!

No, ice lolly is British. In the US, we use the brand name Popsicle.

Actually Darren, although Wikipedia says that we Ozzies say ice-block, I have never heard that and I have lived in many parts of Australia. I know an ice-block to be what we make ourselves using ice cube trays. On a hot summer day kids like to suck on these home made ice blocks.
The more general term is icy pole. Although it�s a brand name (Nestle, I think) that�s what we generally call flavoured ice on a pop stick. Next time I�m near the icecream section I�ll take a look to see what the packets state because the other brands can�t call them icy poles. It probably says ice block (lol). |
