[dave1948]

Thank you Shoota I am sure you're right but what is the Oxford reference ?

[Mamyalynne]

9 T and M = Trademark

[dave1948]

Thank you glasman I didn't see Edna (as in Everage)

[shoota]

In Oxford - at university - up

[dave1948]

Thank you Mamyalynne.

As always very kind and helpful.

Any ideas on 4d and 15d ??

[Mamyalynne]

pondering :-)

[dave1948]

Thank you Shoota for the Oxford reference. I never think of in relation to University merely out of bed!

Abreha?

[factor-fiction]

Alcove doesn't feel right to me

[shoota]

4d Cleave - C (100) leave - go down

[dave1948]

Shoota's got it. Misspelling (of mine) in 4 down

Thank you.

Any thoughts on 15d ??

[shooty]

Abrahm ?
It looks like an anag of '(Rehab,a) swapping the e for an m
(M)isfit(the first)

[Mamyalynne]

or as the builder said

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraha

[Mamyalynne]

[dave1948]

Thank you Mamyalynne and Shoota.

Not sure what the builder said is a reference to ?
