[fiction-factory]

what was the answer to clue 15 please?

[petal54]

many thanks all

[donny48]

What is the answer to 15 ?

[petal54]

stint I think

[elliemay1]

seen as egret

[donny48]

Tried to reverse work from egret to stint but finding it impossible.

[ladyalex]

What's the clue for 15 , please ?

[fiction-factory]

I can see the EG (for example / say) RE (about ) and T (time) but not the definition unless 15 was binoculars or similar

[scorpiojo]

15 Restrict container in street (5)

[donny48]

If we accept stint as a possible attempt then it must be 5 letters

[ladyalex]

Certainly looks like Petal was right with Stint....but that doesn't get me any closer to Egret or indeed anything else....

[fiction-factory]

Is there another clue 15?

[donny48]

With the clue now supplied surely stint is correct but the relevence to 20a is not apparent.

[scorpiojo]

No, just that one.

[fiction-factory]

stint lloks okay- just don't see how it helps give the definition of egret. Maybe stint has more meanings

[scorpiojo]

Defn 2 of Stint (in Chambers) A smalll wading bird

[scorpiojo]

small, even
