Denim jacket
Flip flop
Ascent of Man

Those were some of the last for me. All weren't great clues imo

Denim jacket

Spoiler
- a slurring of one of those words. Closer if you use an appropriate language

Flip flops

Spoiler
- a brand

Ascent of man

Spoiler
- something is happening. Someone can explain the process

Flip flop

Spoiler
Think of a brand of flip flop and the etymology of the brands name

Ascent of Man
Spoiler
anthropologist

Denim Jacket

only one I’m missing.

Should be Coat D’Azure

Not a town is it? I'd have thought Nîmes (being the home of denim and also the etymology of its name) but that's also wrong.

Spoiler
The best I can do is that it sounds a bit like another word for coat.

It's a weird one though, as is the face in the window. Perhaps there's a clue I'm not getting, but mostly the clues are clever enough that as soon as the answer comes to you, you're confident it'll be accepted. Whereas those ones I got by accident.

Finally got 80, was stuck on 79 for ages furiously spamming '<something> springs' into the answer box 😡

I'm shit, some of these haven't even been mentioned ONCE as being hard 🙄:

Disney

flip flop

denim (good work from Perchy there!)

window-photo (if I have to recognise the bloke, I'm ****ed)

hole/fissure in ground

Bear/cans?

Spoiler
On the roight lines but maybe you got that the wrong way round? P.S. There are two answers to that one.

If anyone can shed any light on the reasoning behind the face in the window, please let me know - it's really bugging me (I have the answer, I just don't know why!).

That's really weird if true. On Chrome here (Mac)/Brave/Safari the inspect source says they all refer to the hi-res jpg someone linked earlier.

1 to go. Stuck on the cow and balloon clue. Even despite my best googling I cannot work this out, but will probably kick myself once I get it.

Any hints?

It was doing this for me yesterday, except it was fine in chrome and those were missing in brave on the PC. It seems to be OK today. Very odd. I'd be right confused if I'd stuck to the PC version and had 4 missing clues. I also couldn't scroll to the edge if zoomed in, and that is also fixed today. Looks like STW style live fixing of web code.

I'm not sure you'll kick yourself. Its not a great clue IMO

Spoiler

you can see all the balloon but only some of the cow. It would be a better clue if it was the other way round.

Some cow balloon clues

Spoiler
You don't want to drop the ball on this one, or maybe you do.

Spoiler
Geographically you'd be looking inside the answer related to the regal ape for this phooey clue.

Spoiler
And if you don't kick yourself you'll be bouncing off the walls.

Gah!

Anyone care to assist with my remaining 3:

Mickey Mouse rubber ring?

Single Spring?

Advert board with dancing girls?

I’m sure they’re obvious but just can’t seem to work them out!

advert board - it only a post to give you an impression(ist) of the answer

Mild hint...

Spoiler
I don't think it's technically a city which probably doesn't help, but it's a well known, heavily populated area in a heavily populated place

Spoon feeding...

Spoiler

Take one word and stick 4/7th of the other word on it. Spelling will need tweaking.

It’s not really a Disney castle - it’s wrapped because it’s a gift.

Stuck on two of them:

The envelope

Don't think I've seen anyone else stuck on them, so they must be easier than I'm trying to make them!

Stuck on 77. Can't waste anymore time on this so need some easy clues for:

Batman sign
Fissure on pavement
And the "Free" sign on the dorr mantle, which does not appear to be Fremantle!

Batman sign

Spoiler
just try typing the first bit - sorry not much of a clue

Fissure on pavement

Spoiler
As someone above mentioned, it's in POLE position - make sure spelling is correct as well

Free sign

Spoiler
African capital - not much of a clue again

Ghost

Spoiler
famous cartoon but I'd never heard of the city

Litter pickers

Spoiler
what's the boy carrying and who is he watching?

Jacket

Spoiler
Asian city, not much different to what you've written

@rich_s I think on one of the previous pages of the thread there's a link to the picture with all the clue locations marked. There's 3 clues associated with the bath - sign, perfume bottle and the vessel itself.

No. He's not, unless you mean the actual bath, but I'm guessing you've got that one. There are 3 on the bath.

the two blue boxes - front left as you look at it. Are they anything
On 76 and can think of anything else that could be a clue.

The can with the bear is one
But are the collection of cans another?

78/80 and stuck for what the remaining images are. No obvious things we’ve not ticked off. Any things might have missed or ones with double answers?

Is the gorilla something distinct from the tower and fruit behind (both of which obvious and got them)?

Are the blue dots on the wall previously mentioned something?

Is the unlit lamplight something (got the lit one)?

Under water just the one. The other is nothing.

Got there, the basin and weight etc next to the spring, is two places. I had one and only just clocked some of it didn’t fit my first answer. Done 80/80, away to bask in the glory.
