2. Cribbed
1. raise
5 Bridget
6. gan der (red nag backwards)
6) Gander =( slang for look)
Strawberry Roan is a horse with redish brown coat.
RED+NAG reversed
7. it look s as if the answer is "Tino" (metal=tin ; disc=o) but I haven't heard of such a name. But how about Fido ? A dog's name on the disc on his collar.
Question Author
i had thought tino (west indian cricketer ) tino best

2 -r-b-d maybe probed but dont know why

i had thought maybe leeds for 3 but wasnt sure
that gives L as 2nd letter for 4
felt = probed
otherwise you are pro bed, in that you'd rather go to sleep
Question Author
any thoughts on 3 & 4 there is definately a leeds prison
that leaves clue 4 -l-e-e-
I am sorry but I cannot help with the remaining two. I have tried so many different combibations of letters but I am not getting anywhere at the moment........
3) OPENS.= ( is first )
Big = OS +PEN ( slang for prison ).
Only thing I can think of for 4 is COVERED ( concealed )
Have checked it out.
Cover can mean Cross ( angry ) + ED for the fellow.
cove is an alternative word for a man followed by red for angry
Thanks ulysses100,
I must admit I've never heard of Cove meaning a man. You learn something every day.
Val.
