Re: Quiz question help please (crossword style)
D - after another think, it's more likely to be 'buzzard' ('ard' being three of the four letters of 'road')
And I agree with lakedistrict about 'buttercup'!

There's a typo in B. Beagle should be Beadle, and the answer is Bumblebee, a reference to Oliver Twist.

A beagle is a dog.
A beadle was a parish officer with the power to punish minor offenders, which is what Mr. Bumble was.
Mr Bumble is the character who uttered one of my favourite Dickensian phrases :- " if the law thinks that, the law is a ass, a idiot ".

I think it was in the Sunday Express skelton xword which I tried to do most weeks for a couple of years
and rarely finished it and even more so correctly.
Much better with four letter word answers

I'm fine thanks John.
I'm quite enjoying the lockdown, but I've missed going to the football and cricket, and I' m really looking forward to the Premier League starting again on the 17th.
By the way, I've just got B. It's Giant Puffball.
