Hi folks
I have the obvious answer bung. Am I wrong as I am having trouble with 9a
Thanks

Plug any good?

Cork comes from a certain part of the tree and there's a type of ship with the same name.

Thanks Seamus and Orid. Think I was on the wrong tack.

I once went to my local South London pub (a long time ago) just after it had been redecorated. One wall had been covered in cork tiles. It looked nice, so I complimented the barmaid.

"Yes" she said "but it's not real cork - they made it from the bark of trees."

Ha ha ChrisE!

I've never spelled the name of the ship like that but I've checked and it is an alternative spelling.

Woof-woof!

Scottish terrier, Seamus?
