Last one,I think I know the answer but can't parse it.
21a Connery's diningroom netting?
?e?h
Why would this be mesh?
Thanks in advance

[Lie-in King]

Mesh (netting) - "mess" (dining room, as Sean Connery would say it...)

[bookbinder]

Sean Connery has an Edinburgh accent, which makes him pronounce some syllables in an unusual manner. If you pronounce 'mesh' as 'mess', you get a word that means a dining room in a military place.

As someone who lives close to Edinburgh, i think Connery's pronunciation is more due to a slight lisp rather than any geography
