[bryand]

Thank you all for your prompt and helpful answers. From these can advise that 4 down starts with an R and 9 across starts with an A. Can you be of further help please.

[retrocop]

4D is Nutrient
9A. A s(SAUL)t

[retrocop]

1A. is Ruritanians as you posted earlier so 4D starts with N

[swinman]

4D is nine letters so NUTRIENT doesn't fit.

[bryand]

My best apology, particularly to Retrocop. I had written Ruritarians, instead of Ruritanians. Where is that big slice of humble pie?

[tezzerbear]

nutriment does though

[retrocop]

Quite right swinman another typo by me.
4D. should read: nutriment (9)

[swinman]

Wasn't being aggressive there - just puzzled!! Thanks everyone for the help.

[retrocop]

No offence taken swinman.I spelt it correctly on first answer and mis spelt it in second reply.
