Fine thank you Baths - just having a little tussle with myself on this one; would help if janmar gave us some letters to work with.

Nice to see you posting again and hopefully on the way to good health. x

Nice to see you also Captain! I'm getting there....hoping to leave the house tomorrow, have graduated from zimmer to one stick, so think will manage with Sgt Troy's arm to steady me :)

Drill?

[Captain2]

Could also be 'miser' Toorak, but don't suppose we'll be given any letters to work with. :))

I'm not even sure if it's a cryptic clue - just a wild guess :-)

You could be right cap'n, just found an old clue for "miser" he hoards a well boring instrument (5)

Like you say, we'll probably never know. Hope this finds you well ;)
