Oh yes, it's called a daily here. I didn't see newsagent as an answer till Jolan gave it.

The daily I thought might be a char (not retained as in charwallah) I believed I was on a winner with that. Ha ha.

I blame the heat for not getting Newsagent!

I thought it might be char too.

I thought it might be char, but couldn't find a word containing it, not surprisingly.And my brother was newsagent for all his working life.
Only got brass tacks.
When I saw your Mica, andy, I thought you were right because mica is sometimes called fool's gold!
Phew, it is hot, 30 degrees here in Oxford

I wish I could blame the heat here Rosalind, its overcast and raining off and on in the IOM. Jolan invariably catches me out, I thought I was so right with boxwallah, principally because of its meaning "a businessman or shopkeeper".


There again I had mica down for substitute glass I was looking for the hidden clue but missed the "first issue" bit.

It's quite deflating when you realise you cocked up after thinking you've cracked it. Oh well there's always next week.

All the best

Andy

What a wonderful bunch you are!
Yes Andyc, with a good pair of binoculars I might even see you. Naturally, the weather here is your weather too. Gorgeous!!
See you next week. J
