OK so the answers. Apologies for how my mind works lol



Clues

1. You might use a clip on a household laundry object if it could make a similar sound. Object is a clotheshorse sound a horse makes sounds like winni you might use a peg on the clotheshorse.
2. Trying to find a cricket ground? I’ll try to delay neigh better still, stop you because it won’t be in the place you think. Delay neigh anagram of Headingley
3. Did this fella skin his knees with a trusted friend, maybe even when he was back home? Reference to lyrics from Seasons In The Sun originally sung by Terry Jacks whos home was Winnipeg.
4. If you've got the general location then let education rise from the ashes. Pheonix School
5. 13 is unlucky for some but don’t get in a state about either provinces or territories. No states but 10 Provinces and 3 Territories in Canada
6. 999 was first used here in 1959. Winnipeg was the first North American city to use one emergency telephone number, 999 soon after changed to 911.
7. Winter temperatures regularly hit -30c here. It's freaking cold.

Actually an adaptation of the great Jaques Brel's song Le Moribund.
Is that what they call a fun fact?
