Last four required before I have only four hairs left on my head! 5d) A certificate of having passed an examination (8) T?S???U? 15d) A silaceous substance sometimes found in crude form in hollows of bamboos(9) P?B?S?E?R 25d) Small stream in Lochaber running into the River Lochy near Fort William (5) L?N?Y 13a) Now obsolete term for a small tree or shrub (7) ??A?R?T I am sure I will kick myself when I see the answer to 5d but the brain is perfectly addled presently. Thanks in advance.
Have now solved 13a (Arboret) only to fin that my 6d was wrong. I had Wahabi for a member of a Muslim sect founded in Central Arabia about 1760.
Sorry for the wrong clues and it is more brain ache for me!
Tahnsk to you both. Yes, it did change the letters Jimjools and I can see what a mess I have made. I now know, hoever, thanks to you, Slaney, that I have only one left to get and it's not even one I posted! So...
14a) Porter or stout as delivered from the brewery (6) E?T?R?
I had export before, which is why I had a 'P' instead of 'T' for the start of Tabasheer.Silly me!
Just noticed spelling mistake-told you, brain completely exhausted but that said, I have just worked out last answer-Bingo! (Answer was Entire).
Thanks again for your help.
