I've got an idea for a game show where you fill in missing words.
I would like it to be hosted by former Home Secretary (and now Lord) David Blunkett and be called Blunketty Blanks

What's the link between heat, tab, Buckinghamshire and return?

Abd I didn't get today's. Two categories were easy and I guessed the other two but couldn't get the words right.

Bit of an American cultural bias to today's, I feel. I recognised the links, but there were two groups where I've never heard of some of the specific examples.

I had no clue about the last category which seems to be American-centric again. I also had to take a guess on the third one.

Thought I was doing something clever with the third guess but no! Agree no chance getting the last one if not American

jeremyp · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2023, 02:00:54 PM »

Another one with an American centric category. That isn't why I made a mistake with the first category.

I failed today. Not only were there a couple of ambiguous clues, there was also an American centric category.

Much easier today. I've failed miserably on most of them lately due the USAian nature of some of the groups.

Relatively straight forward today, even with one Americanism.
