If anyone can help please!

Unfortunately I only have one letter in to help.

If I can get this it will help with others.

Senior male civil Servant and where he shouldn't be found? (5,9) -----/--c------

[shaneystar2]

Under-secretary ?

[pandabear]

but why the reference to 'male'

does the 5 letter word end in L ?

[paulineward]

Shaney ...thanks! Knew I could rely on you!! Not seen you on line today. Hope your menfolk are having a good time. The weather should be better than here! How is your son finding the driving???

[paulineward]

Don't know pandabear. The last letter of the first word doesn't affect the others.

Hi Pauline
Been out today for lunch with my brothers .
My tribe are home tomorrow ..the driving went well ...the ferry crossing was a bit choppy though ! They have had the same weather as us more or less .I did forget to ask you which part of Germany your brother lived in. My eldest son lives near Krefeld and my M-I-L is near D�sseldorf.

[shaneystar2]

Ha Ha ..well if he is a male civil servant he shouldn't be having hanky panky with his secretary ! Therefore he shouldn't be under her unless he is otherwise inclined !!!

[paulineward]

He lived in Hannover. Had moved from various places including Dusseldorf.

Glad to know all is well. You will be fighting for the computer again!!

Take care!

[shaneystar2]

Well I should get my laptop back tomorrow as they took it with them and left me with this dodgy machine !
.D�sseldorf is lovely.I used to work there when we first got married and commuted every day from Cologne. Have never been in Hannover though.
I am going over in August.
Any way good luck with the crossword Pauline ..nice to chat to you again ..you take care too
