Hello Everyone!!

It's a nice sunny day and I've been for a liquid lunch so a bit slow to get the crosswords done.

Here we go.

Dot from Glasgow is religious group backed by queen is TOCHER - but why is a tocher a dot from Glasgow?
Rot set back a religious leader's office TIAR_
Potato chipped without full attention? _LOO
Leader ousted in demonstration's culmination ROO_

Thanks everyone!!

[doctordolittle]

Potato... is ALOO - but why?

[Mamyalynne]

Hindi (I think) for Potato.

[doctordolittle]

It is, as in Bombay Aloo, but what is that to do with chipped without full attention?

[scorpiojo]

Aloo(f)?

[doctordolittle]

Feeble answer though, isn't it?

[Mamyalynne]

A Dot is a Dowry as is a Tocher

[Mamyalynne]

Tiara

the office or rank of pope

[grumpy01]

Religious group is Toc H then obviously Queen is E.R.

[doctordolittle]

vis a vis tiara, yes, tiara, but why? Is rait another word for rot in Scottish?

No answers for Leader....culmination yet, I see!!

[grumpy01]

Your not easily pleased then Dr. D

[Mamyalynne]

Keep yer hair on!!

Yes

Rait = Rot

[scorpiojo]

:-)

[doctordolittle]

I am but I am a completer finisher so the last one has to be done. There aren't many words ROO_ that mean enthusiastic. Something to do with root (for)?

[Obiter]

(H)aloo? A call for attention in foxhunting.

[doctordolittle]

I suppose aloof could be with a chip on the shoulder so remove f for full and there you are.....

[Obiter]

(P)roof?

[scorpiojo]

(P)roof??

[grumpy01]

Is the leader ousted etc. Roof. (P) roof

[Obiter]

The roof is the culmination of a building.

[doctordolittle]

And roof is culmination as in highest point. Nice

Thanks everyone

See you next week!!
