i don't quite understand what you mean squitty but never mind.
thank you so much kayakamina, you are always a great help & so patient & friendly, especially when you know some of us are not very good at cryptic clues , you are a star :)
Well puzzled, I was trying to give you a chance to retain your dignity & answer the question for yourself - even using google. The question wasnt to do with a sixteenth of an inch as I recall. (discarded clues now).
oh, i see, well, i'm not worried about my dignity i just try to do the crossword myself but sometimes i get stuck on them and know that the majority of people on here are very helpul & friendly and won't make me feel daft if it's easy for them but i can't see it , thank you for explaining .
