Pleased to be of help .I think I will go with Grates .I was thinking along the lines of unappreciative being something that doesn't grow, like your money not appreciating due to low interest rates .
Just one to do do then and I have Googled,anagrammed and read dictionaries until I am blue in the face .It's probably so simple but I can't see it !
I will pop back here . You all seem much more friendly and happy to help than another site I looked at .Good luck .

Come back any time, especially if you get the answer to the dreaded 19!!! The trouble with only having a couple of answers to do is that you have nowhere else to go for a bit of light relief so tend to lose the plot a bit and try to make things more difficult than they are.

Thanks again for 94.

I am wondering if no.19 is PLACEMATS i.e. Pal+ Mates (best friend) around (C)lose! Just a thought.

There you go again, besmirching my good name and suggesting that I had given up on Q. 94 (how perceptive of you.

However, I am a little concerned about all the euphoria about the suggestion from TOPSY (sorry!!), in that the answer constructed by following the logic would be PORRINGERS which is 10 letters. However, if we accept GINGERHENDRY's suggestion of PORRINGER, 9 letters, this is in the singular whereas the clue calls for item(s), clearly plural, or am I being too picky?

Actually, I was quite impressed with your SIDEBOARD and was thinking up a suitable, grudging, congratulatory message when you abandoned it for the 10 letter suggestion.

Where does that leave us?

Aha, I knew you would come back sometime. Actually it was Topsy who gave the explanation, very good too. Clue No. 2 says POrtion of bread raises the standing of bell-RINGERS, which is where the two extremes come from. I thought sideboards was a better answer than sou'westers and I spent a long time checking it (while you were flitting about every either page I might add) but hers is more logical. Sometimes you can't see the wood from the trees!!! See you later and keep on with the 19......

PORINGERS is not the correct spelling and, as I say, PORRINGERS, the correct spelling, is 10 letters??
