PS. TONY
Re no.5.
I know you meant this.

The direct answer is HAPPENING = PHENOMENON
The "It's actually" meant 'having studied the earlier part of the clue' (It's actually) HAPPENING (= PHENOMENON)

Gee P@. I NEVER spotted that - well done. Thanks Peterm. An accidental anagram. My word!

I'm really away now.

Hi Jolan

First time got all five (well, assuming Tony has them correct 'cos I've got the same), although I did have to use the thesaurus for Upright, and they did take most of the day to solve.

My reasoning for losing the "b" from cabbies was a B movie = trailer, back in the days of "going to the pictures" for night out.

I'll never get away! LOL

Hi Siamcat. I've never seen Tony being wrong. Loved the B movie reasoning. My reasoning was A trailer or A follower = B. But, hey!

Bye
