Seen as innkeeper

Sorry I was so long answering - my computer is playing up tonight and I couldn't get back into Quizzes and Puzzles. Anyway, thanks again scorpiojo, although I did think of netkeeper but couldn't see how that would fit in with Christmas. Innkeeper does, but can't quite see how it fits in with goalie. Never mind, I expect it does somehow or other. Thanks again. You do work hard for other people scorpiojo.

Modern is "in" and keeper is goalie. Not sure about the extra n, though.

[elliemay1]

A goalie is a keeper and if something is modern we say that it is 'in'.

[starone]

Thanks pixie. good explanation.

[starone]

And ellie.

[scorpiojo]

Inn as in fashion + (goal)keeper. Happy to help. I couldn't even get on AB for about 2 hours earlier today, I just kept getting a page of October questions and it's been really slow tonight.
