danny,,,true.......but that is hardly the point......particularly of crosswords in that the clue surely needs to be accurate. The answer is either one word or two words, the fact that one word serves both is hardly the point.

Yes.....i am bored AB is a non starter today and i don't leave for my Club until 12.30.....LOL

Just write it in your grid and don't leave a space - we won't tell anyone;-)

[dannyk13]
