hi jolan
"unmarried" lady (M)--- just use the last 3 letters ?

Yes Jazzy BUT I don't see WHY (from the clue). There's no suggestion about removing the first letter from that unmarried girl, unless I'm missing it (and that's more than possible today, as you will have noticed)

Ahhhhhhhhh YES! Thanks Jazzgirl. I've actually SEEN it. Thank you very much. Very clever of that ole setter, eh?

lol.
lady = M---
"unmarried" = (M)---

The "unmarried" is used in the cryptic sense rather than the literal sense

crossed posts again. Eureka eh !

Indeed! All was clear when I caught up with you. Should have spotted it, but .....

Off now for a few hours. Thanks again.

Enjoy dinner jolan.
Cannot do the 5@5 as I am going out, but I'm pretty bad at it anyway. ;0)

Hi again Jazzgirl. Hope your tyune in here again (know you're out from 5@5).

Re 1D. I've another reason for thinking this is singular. "... a bit of money...". Chanvers D has bit = a coin. Chambers Thes has coin = bit. So it's possioble 1D ends in "A". I think you favour "I".

I'll be out tomorrow, so if you've any further idea on 1D I'll look in here tomorrow evening.

PS. It was easier than ususl, this month, eh?

Bless and thanks again for unmarried. Doh!

fao...jazzgirl...just in case you missed Jolan's post.

have fun...

thanks pasty. I will "a round tuit" a bit later. ;)
