    Right lads, see how many of these you's can get. Each clue represents a new phrase, and it tells you how many words and letters per word are in the new phrase, beside your clue.

    For instance, on the top left clue, the answer is 3 words with 7 letters in the first word, 3 letters in the second word and 6 letters in the third word.

    I'll get you's started with one, the very bottom right hand side one is Three Blind Mice.
