Liz Many thanks for that. Unfortunately I have still have one other problem -answer?! Clue No 85 " .... but Bob's fellow robber is stout" (10) I think that the answer could be Robertsman- Roberdsman--or either would be correct. See Chambers. Have you any ideas please or is it something else

Trevor.No. 85 Thanks for your help I was confused by the Chambers definiton being the same for the 2 words. Robertsman and roberdsman In any event robert for Bob is better than roberd ! I hope I have not confused you !!
