Is 5 5-7 or 6-6?

[cashier]

1   Potbound?

[cashier]

12   Infringe?

[Daij]

No 5 is 5-7

I think it may be Saint Laurent but can't parse

[Captain2]

^^ Nice one,Calibax - I got stuck with Pool for Kitty and didn't look elsewhere.

[Captain2]

^^^^ sorry, sorry.... meant Cashier. :)))

[scorpiojo]

Ain't = isn't 

[scorpiojo]

Daij, have you any more letters for 5?

[Daij]

scorpiojo - I have S?i?T, ?A????E?

I have pencilled SAINT NAZAIRE in for the time being

 

[scorpiojo]

^ anagram isn't n(ew) a(rea) + Zaire

[Captain2]

Isn't = AINT

New = N 

South Africa = SA

Country = ZAIRE

[scorpiojo]

^ no, sorry

[scorpiojo]

Isn't area in + ZA (South Africa)

[Captain2]

Good fun this, Jo 😀

Whichever, Daij has the answer.
