12 Temple Normanton

Can we have a summary list of the unanswered ones?

These ones remain unanswered.
3) Ships post found in a field.
5) This dirty pub landlord finishes by saying farewell.
6) Salad garnish is good.
8 ) Tell tales at an increasing rate.
9) She killed the alien.
11) The point of a rose isn't a fish.
18) A slice of an australian swimmer.

Let me know if you want any clues.

I'm finding them quite tricky so any clues (or perhaps a whack around the head with a sledge hammer)  would be helpful.

Clues:

3) Alsatian is correct.
5) Think of a famouus landlord known as Dirty..............you are halfway there.
6) Slad garnish...think of a small leafed thing you have on salad, (I don't think its in Notts, but its heading that way).
8 )  Tell tales or inform on someone, term used often in relation to criminals and the police, place in Chesterfield.
9) Would be more accurate if I said She killed Alien.
11) The point of a rose.......think what that is called, and something fishey thats not a fish.
18) I thought there was only 1 famous aussie swimmer, know that and you are halfway there, but how do you get a slice.
