Last one and it's driving me mad! Any help would be very much appreciated.
Clue is:- Encourages keeping company holding a thousand exotic pets.
I have G * C * O * S. Of course, I could have made a mistake (or two!)

Thanks Chips!
I hadn't thought about 1000 being K (still fixed on M !) and I didn't think the plural was OES ending. I see that either is acceptable. You live and learn, eh?
Thanks again, Chris.

You're welcome! I didn't break the answer down as 'gees'(encourages) + 'co' (company)+'k'(thousand)inside.

Definite brain fade! I hadn't even seen "gees". Thanks again for the info.
Chris.
