Hi,

not seen any satisfactory answer as to why 10a "Sympathetic cheering (6)" is "genial"...any comments?

Also "Drank regularly round base". I understand base as "deopt" but "poted" as drank regularly? Don't understand.

Thanks for any help. Smicks.

Thanks - think I was thinking of cheering in the wrong context so that one solved. As to poted - I was discounting this as it seemed missing a "t", as in "potted shrimp". I would have also thought a drunk were potted not poted??
