On the dole anag told one + he

[mikey4444]

Ah !...spelt Speilberg wrong at 5d.....I presume this is a ref. to "Love on the Dole"

[scorpiojo]

I think it's a reference to receiving benefit...

[mikey4444]

What is the ref. to novel ?

[scorpiojo]

Novel is the anagram indicator

[mikey4444]

Ah yes....I have forgotten that !

Not sure what I would do without you Scorps....Happy Xmas !
