Hello . Well this week was better than last ( have they a new setter? A couple of times recently some weird clues!!!) . But there’s one i simply can’t work out ! ( others I am reasonably sure but not certain) . The beast clue is “ lizzy in addition wants fish chucked out”. It’s only four letters. I have ?e?s so the answer could be Bess which is another abbreviation of Elizabeth. But why?

Bess - 'bes(ide)s'; in addition, with 'ide'; fish, chucked out

Don't give up on the Jumbo - I won it recently :)

No problem Steven, glad I could help. I hope you & yours are keeping well?

gg - congratulations :-)

Thanks L-I-K . Yes we’re very well . The dreaded Covid19 has given us a miss so far. I hope you ( and my other tutors/counsellors) are keeping well too. Crosswords and other puzzles have been a good help!
