Pianist

[BFD22]

Please help .. why is the answer Pianist (key operator, I get that) to this clue..perfectionist maybe disposing of uranium to key operator

[bobbinwales]

Based on purist?

[dannyk13]

Ia that the full clue?
Purist ( pefectionist) minus ur(Uranium) = piat but can't see where Ian comes from.

[bobbinwales]

But would need Ian adding? Does clue says scotsman too?

[bhg481]

uranium is U, not ur.

[bobbinwales]

Yes just U

[bobbinwales]

Utopianist?

[kettledrum]

Utopia ist = perfectionist. Dispose of u(radium) & to.

[bobbinwales]

Then lose U to

[dannyk13]

So it is, my error,but that makes parsing different.

[bobbinwales]

All sorted now.

[bhg481]

Well done, bobb

[dannyk13]

Good one Bob :-)
