About this word search
Number eight wire is a gauge of fencing wire that became shorthand for fixing anything with whatever is to hand. The six o'clock swill was the rush at the bar before pubs closed at six in the evening, a rule that lasted until 1967. Lemon and Paeroa was first made with mineral water from Paeroa, Crown Lynn cups were on every table, and Fred Dagg, played by John Clarke, wore a black singlet and gumboots.
Eighteen by eighteen, in all eight directions. Number eight wire is the longest at fifteen letters. Six o'clock swill, Pineapple lumps and Lemon and Paeroa have fourteen, with the apostrophe dropped as SIXOCLOCKSWILL. Bach is the shortest at four. Weet-Bix loses its hyphen and becomes WEETBIX. Only two words contain an X, Six o'clock swill and Weet-Bix, so start there. Buzzy Bee has the double Z and Fred Dagg the double G.
Bring it along to a family reunion or a rest home afternoon. It starts more conversations than any photo album.
