I seem to recall seeing this parsed as
S = Siemens + (c)ane

Seems right but what is the indication in the clue that only the first letter of Siemens is to be used. I'm a newbie and need to learn how to deconstruct clues.

I've been doing crosswords for ages, and I was going to ask that too!

Thanks, jazzy - not a unit I have come across!

I've seen SI used in quite a few crosswords, but not normally just the S

They aren't the same - SI is "Systeme Internationale" (or something like that) - the system for naming units etc.

I actually did know the "mho", the alternative name for the Siemens.

sorry, I got mixed up with SI and the other unit.
Not having a good day (nothing done on Jolan's at all)

Ditto on jolan - I'll go over there in a while and admit it.

could the dance be Hay, to give T hey, rumoured?
