cables length??(a guess)

Cables length
Church parade

ear bud?

ear wig

Trevor and Rambler, thanks for "Cables length".
Rambler, if "Church parade" is correct, it gives
E _R / C _ _ for 2D and 9A, so it would knock
out Trevor's "ear bud" and Scottiemallottie's "ear
wig".

Ear cap?

I think 2D and 9A might be "EAR LAP".
If so, 1D is now C _ _ _ L _ / Parade

Thanks, Scorpiojo. I'll try both a C and an L in 1D

doesn't ear cap (i like that answer) fit with church parade?
