The Who Am I Game?

[Dopamine1979]

I vote for a rule change. Once it has been confirmed as solved anyone should be able to start a new one.

[El Pibe]

Stacey-Lyn's clue could do with being a bit more oblique, I'm going for The Witch in the 'Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'.

[Otta]

How about the correct guesser gets a set time within which to start a new one, and after that it's open to the first taker

[aquarius moon]

I think if a poster doesn't come back with a new clue or start a new game within say exactly 24 hours, it should pass across to the person who guessed last, just before the correct answer was given.

[aquarius moon]

Looking back, I was the last person to post before the correct answer was given, so if everyone agrees with the above post, shall I start a new game?!

[womanofdulwich]

sorry i have been away give me a few mins

[womanofdulwich]

An Essex Liberal.

[womanofdulwich]

He liked to get up early and do a spot of gardening.

[womanofdulwich]

Oh dear, is everyone away or is this too tricky?

The person is a character in a book.The first clue was a bit cryptic.

[aquarius moon]

I'm here.

I just can't think of any Essex Liberals who like gardening!!

[womanofdulwich]

the cryptic bit applies to liberal and essex.

[numbers]

Talbot Baines Reed.

edit - duh, just seen your updated clue about it being a character in a book. I give up, am rubbish at these :))

[stacey-lyn]

Cryptic indeed. If the garden's a metaphor. . . Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex?

[womanofdulwich]

no sorry.

The garden bit is not a metaphor.

[womanofdulwich]

He worked on the south coast.

[civilservant]

Mr Collins (in Pride and Prejudice)?

[womanofdulwich]

no sorry. A different class of person.

[womanofdulwich]

Maybe the Essex bit is a bit too cryptic. Keep the liberal clue.

[civilservant]

so a cryptically liberal early-morning gardener

William Blake? but he was real, not in a book

[stacey-lyn]

Derek Jarman?

(but also real)

[womanofdulwich]

no sorry. He was liberal ( thats not cryptic).

He worked in the cave.

[DulwichFox]

Rob Carr or maybe Chris Bailey..

Worked at La Cave East Sussex Hove.

Fox.

[womanofdulwich]
