1 A. A lot of opportunity with foreigh money going backward and forward (6) ?o?n?y
My first thought was 'bounty', then I considered 'bouncy' - as I don't see how wither of these totally fits, does anyone have any suggestions, ideas? Thanks.

Thanks, have tried options with 'yen'(backwards) but got nowhere. 'Bounty' fits in that it means 'a lot' but I don't see where the rest of the clue fits in. It's my last one, so is annoying me.

Have had a good look at this without success.
Can get KIPNEY a place in Perthshire,but no better than your bounty/bouncy.
Kip=currency in Laos
Yen as already given.
Are you absolutely sure of your letters?

I wonder if the first part means a lot of opportunity and the second part is the backwards yen, and the whole thing means forward? Just a bit of alternative thinking.

May I suggest Rooney. Opportunity is room, with yen reversed. I believe Wayne Rooney is a forward.

That satisfies me on the opportunity side, Mamya, but I can't see the currency going forwards/backwards bit.
