Baffled!

[longefoy]

Hello Mamyalynne et al, Happy New Year!

R*s*t Take away miles and get new page.

*o*t*e* Climbers clinging support looks for permission.

Hope you can help!

[Mamyalynne]

Hello and Happy New Year to you too, am sure we can help as a team.

[JimF]

Are you looking for clues or answers?

[Mamyalynne]

2 Rootlet is climbing plant's support

root (look for) + let (permission)

[Mamyalynne]

1 I can only think of - Reset

Full parse evades me, someone will know.

[longefoy]

Thanks, Mamyalynne, I thought that you would solve it! RESET is a mystery.

PS My mother was called Aline.

[Mamyalynne]

That's a beautiful name longefoy.

Not sure I have completely solved it, but watch this space.

Hope you are keeping well.x

[ProfessorMaisie]

Possibly a double def (you'd reset an odometer to 'Take away miles')?

[Mamyalynne]

Good call Prof.

[longefoy]

Well done, Prof! The new page - something to do with printing?

[Mamyalynne]

Likely so, not a brilliant clue is it?

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes longefoy - typesetting (I'm sure Mamyalynne got the right answer from that definition).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...Agreed Mamyalynne.

[longefoy]

Thank you, Mamyalynne and Prof for your help!

[Buenchico]

'set' as in 'typesetter'. OED definition 2:

I still can't see where the miles comes in (or goes out!)

[longefoy]

Thanks, Buenchico - you guys in Answerbank have funny names! Mine’s a small village in the Alps.

Calimax, see Professor Maisie higher up.
