Thank you every one and big, big apologies. #14 should read roofing tiles not reading tiles so shingles is obviously correct. #6 is Polio And therefore the only clue unanswered is 10. “To be or not to be”! that is the question. But, in short, it sounds more than the answer
Should we be lucky enough to win the first prize I feel I ought to share it with you but as that prize is usually just a modest bottle of wine it won’t go very far!
In the event of a tie the winner will be decided by the best 41st clue and answer so if you like, you can make up your own clue. Answers already used are jaundice, concussion, measles, flea, mumps, thrush, dengue, influenza, cancer, diabetes, meningitis, clot, verruca, polio, ringworm, Lyme, psoriasis, ?, stroke, sepsis, Ebola, tinnitus, herpes, plague, AIDS, autism, asthma, malaria, warts, cholera, tick, shingles, gout, tetanus, impetigo, lice, leprosy, dementia, blister, rabies.
And I just hope there are no other folk on the forum from South Rutland because I have now given them 39 of the 40 answers!
It’s been a long but very entertaining day. I think I’ll work on the first tomorrow but thank you for the input. The second one is ulcer. That prompts me to offer ‘Filthy lucre makes you sore’.

Sounds like a nice spot in London.

Can I carry on thinking about this, Fire? My immediate reaction is that these mnemonics are not well known and so contrast with all the other answers.
