7d)Yours truly, who is laughing in France, on last of poppy seed.(9)
------I-Y
26AC.)Travelling salesman saving railway that tours eastern states.(9).
--(I)-J-R-Y

There's a word, brinjarry, which means a travelling salesman in India.

Ta chips-I'd never have got that. Can you get your brain round the other one?

looks like AUTHORITY:author+rit (Fr.for is laughing)+ y (last of poppy)--but why 2 x r?
Then there's POSTERITY=seed,but why poste,exc.that you write "Y.t." in a letter of course.Sorry,probably confused you more than ever!

Ta,greedy. I get the feeling that it's AUTHORITY, but I can't work it out. Do you?

I like the look of 'authority' but it doesn't quite work (with the two 'r's, authoR+Rit) and I don't see where the 'seed' fits in.

Got it - Jequirity!
It means 'seed' - I got it because I tried to fit in 'qui'('who') then realised I could add 'je'('yours truly'/me/I).The 'rit' is greedykite's + the 'y' is from 'poppy'. Done!

Thanks a lot,chips,fried in lard I hope. I was just looking up MEQUIRITY-great minds etc.,,
