7 sacristan

Many thanks chrisg I'd put an m at the end instead of a n

4d shut eye

Very many thanks burry13

Nevil Shute = australian novelist, ye = the old. Shuteye=sleep

Very many thanks once again burry13 for the explanation. Me stupidly thinking the 2nd word was ewe threw me completely.

Do you think 3d should be bunk? Suburb unknown to have a place to sleep B?N?

I also have bunk

Thanks once more burry13 - eventually finished it.

4D reminds me of a clue in the Sunday Times a few years ago. It read: English poet and the ancient mariner. (6 letters). The answer was Popeye. A very clever and shrewd little poser I thought.
