We were trying to complete a quiz last night, one of those things where you get a 100 questions on a sheet with cryptic type clues for them.

This one was a list of occupations or professions, and we have 99 of them done. The one we can't get is .....

"A person who's wicked productions can often be seen in church"

I don't have the sheet with me, but I think it was 10, 11 or 12 letters long. (not very certain about the word "often" in the clue either).

Anyone up for the title of 'clever bugger'?


The older I get, the better I was.

    Well done that man.

    We were stuck because we were reading "wicked" as in sinful.

    Thank you.

    So what's the answer then? :oops:

    Candlestick maker sounds about right and is very clever, but isn't the trade known as a chandler, which is too short for the clue from the OP?
