I thought Steed (from Avengers). Only got 1,2 and 4 as per terry's.

Sorry for the delay Terry. I was rolling around the floor with laughter.
Terry.
Of course I should have stuck in a letter or two.

I'm off to have a bite to eat now. Back later

So, "swell".

JimC

is it swell?
don't quite see 'mount'

A "swell"(ing) can mean a protuberance, I guess.

PS. What a great idea JimC. Never thought of that. I think I would have to have hinted at the Avengers/Emma/Peel, though.

Nice to see you also, Siamcat.

Ah' JimC. I see you've goddit!

Chambers Dict SWELL = a fashionable person

Chambers Thes and Oxford Thes of English language
MOUNT = SWELL and SWELL = MOUNT

I see I shall have to sharpen my wits a bit for the next "5 at 5".

Thank you Jolan

Hi.

re: John Steed ... although the fictional character was usually impeccably dressed, I read that the actor who played him in The Avengers ~ Patrick Macnee ~ was allegedly an indefatigable nudist!

Cue Michael Caine: "Not a lot of people know that".

JimC

doh,things can mount in size etc.
i did think of swell(as in a dandy) a while back but when there are no letters its easier to dismiss something.
good all round again.

ps, i've not seen Turast around these parts for a while.
pps.Emma Peel,oh yes!

Indeed! I suppose he PEELed regularly, eh?

I'm really off to din-din now. Many thanks to all who participated (as the number of participators mounted/swelled) LOL.
Byee
