Hi, Really stuck on the answers to the final two clues.

Monitor cockney lady, one checking passengers luggage. (8) ?C?N???R I thought it may be SCANTIER but the second part of the word does not make sense.

Reported girl with wrong cat. (4) L??? The third letter is the 6th letter of clue 1.


Thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer.

I suspect the answer to the second clue is LYNX; sounds like Lynne (although LYN is a spelling of the name so perhaps "reported" is superfluous) and X symbolises wrong.

Might be SCREEN 'ER if your N is wrong.

Thank you Heathcliff67, that is a great shout as it shows me I had gone wrong. The other answer is screener and I thank you for putting me on the right track - great stuff.

Blessings,

Colin.

And assuming lynx is correct, I would have thought that SCREENER (SCREEN is monitor and 'ER is Cockney lady) would answer the other clue, though that makes your fourth letter incorrect.

Thank you Brendan, sorry I missed your post. I am very grateful to you and Heathcliff67 for putting an old gent out of his misery.

Blessings,

Colin.
