When Bill & Ben
were in primary school they were made to learn all kinds of things.
One of these was knowing the plurals of
things. Things like a wrinklie of
pensioners, a liar of politicians etc. Bill & Ben thought you
might like to share in this treasure house of knowledge with what
follows. Not so much an education for life, more a training for
being good at pub quizzes. Fill in the clues across and the cache
will be revealed vertically. Do remember, however, that plurals
are not unique. You can have a squadron of soldiers, an army of
soldiers etc. This is what the 4.5 stars are for.

Due to the
vaguaries of html the original
alignment of the characters has been somewhat mangled. The numbers
in brackets have been added to indicate the character needed to
decode the coordinates.
Taking a leaf out
of Redzer’s book, maybe you would
like to add some witty plurals in your logs. Something like :- a parting of Camerons, a dodder of Campbells or a Levy of peerages (allegedly) for
example.
In due course there
is to be a companion cache entitled YOUNG.
