9 A The boater is not really a hat, more someone who boats.

3 Hard to give a hint - I'm thinking...
3 D. A 6-letter word for a native of Bordeaux and add 'a' from the clue, plus rubidium.

Thanks Neveracrossword. However I can't find a six lettered native of Bordeaux! Hope your thoughts on the other question have come up with something.
9 A. To be pleased = a four-letter word, frequently used on Facebook. Have you given the clue correctly?
Question Author
I'm obviously out of my depth here! I don't use Facebook and still can't get the native of Bordeaux
Think of the french for "waiter" - it can also be a native...
oh dear that hint wasn't quite right.....if you have the waiter , change one letter to make a native
Farrwest, I've checked - the clue for 9A is actually 'Hat...' . The first part of the answer is a six-letter word which means both the first and last words in the clue, the four-letter word that follows just means 'pleased'. I don't have anything to do with Facebook either, but this word appears on this site, just below Latest Posts, every day.

Farrwest, sorry - I assumed you'd got this finished off. The native of Bordeaux is a Gascon ...
a rb in Gascon
Farrwest, I was sticking to 'strong hints' - not being unhelpful!
And I complete;y missed the 'hints' request - apologies.
