Sorry, eddiebun. Did not see your answer.
While I am on - 4 down - Start to call (4) ?I?G
Is it ring?

[eddiebun]

I having been doing this crossword, but

I suppose the ring of a telephone is the start of a call, as well as ring - to call someone.

[Argee2]

Thank you. That is what I thought but it does not seem too definite. Not up to the standard of the other clues.

[seabrook]

Thank you so much eddiebun and argee2.I had been trying to make an anagram of tyneside..All is clear now. I was also wondering about 'ring' but can't see what else it can be.Thank you once again. Can go on holiday with my grey matter back in place.
