I'm sorry - I like to be exact on these things and I still haven't expressed it correctly. Third attempt! In the clue 2 refers to 2d where the answer is 'sugar" and 5 refers to the 5th letter of the alphabet = "E" Therefore Not = Un 2 = sugar = darling 5 = E Therefore But 5 for a = swap an "E for an "A" Therefore darling becomes "derling" un + derling = underling (minion)

Sorry I called you 'mark' . I like this site. I am amazed there a lots of solvers quite happy to give an answer without any reason. I don't like to put an answer in until I know the warped mind of the compiler....

I too have a very keen interest in this and have seen it answered a couple of times today with no parse - intrigued.


Do clues 2 or 5 play any part??
