Just have these two to go:-
35Ac - "Thrum and bang of Detroit" (6) -R-N-E
46D - " Archbishop Makarios's back, hiding in a tree"
(6) -N-E-M
Would appreciate any assistance.

46 Makarios's back is just S - the archbishop is much older than him.

Many thanks to ChrisE and Mamya - I had considered
Anselm, but for some reason rejected it! Wasn't there at all with "fringe".
(All these adverts on the Forum are a real pain, arem't they?)

You're welcome.

Forgot to add Thrum is also a fringe.

thrum2
θrʌm/Submit
noun
noun: thrum; plural noun: thrums
1.
(in weaving) an unwoven end of a warp thread, or a fringe of such ends, left in the loom when the finished cloth is cut away.
any short loose thread.



Yes the ads are a pain,shame they can't be quieter on the eye.

Well, I certainly didn't know that, but will consign
that bit of info to the DOUI of my brainbox - it might
come in handy again. One never knows!

My last message was in reply to Mamya's "thrum"
definition, by the way, and not Chris's advert comment!

I do partake Chris occasionally - but only for medical reasons ;-)
