[satprof]

Sunday Express Alphapuzzle cryptic clue.

[emmie]

syrup, seems unlikely....

[Toorak]

Barnet

[bhg481]

Is it as simple as syrup - rhyming slang?

[emmie]

maybe, just a guess.

syrup of figs, wig. commonly called just a syrup.

[emmie]

would be a tad obscure if it's right.

[MargoTester]

I think Toorak has it 'Barnet fair' - hair in rhyming slang. Barnet district of London

[1ozzy]

I reckon it's syrup

[satprof]

Barnet would seem to be perfect…. Except that there are only four 6-letter possibilities as far as I can see, and none of them will fit.

There are plenty of 5-letter possibilities, so maybe ‘syrup’ will fit. Time should tell.

[Dummyfluter]

Confirm SYRUP

Well done, emmie and thanks to Dummyfluter.

In case you haven't done it yet, I'll just say that 6=U.
