Thank you swehttam and jane mark 2.


It doesn't help that I got 42d wrong I suppose, but if Roble had come up on the Google searches, I could at least have checked my wrong answer!


Thanks again.

Thanks flamingo97 - that was the first "google" I tried as well - don't know how I could have missed that !

Coincidentally I think ROBLE is the Spanish for oak - at least when I read it on the back of Spanish wine bottles which talk about the wine having been matured in "barriques de roble".


I had "crimper" for 42d which at least gave me the right initial letter for roble!
