Maas is a navigable river, hence a thoroughfare rolling through but that's as far as I go quinie

[wardlaw]

totally agree sir..prize about lack of a thank you. however could you explain 'maastricht' please.

[quinie]

Thank you for that useful link -you're a very honest person. I did get the st part but would never have thought of rich for rolling. That list must be getting quite long! I just don't like it when they don't answer a question when you're trying to help them. Ah well,it takes all sorts....

Hi - coming in rather late: yes, it's Maastricht, but as follows: endlessly dull is MAT (matt) all around ST (thoroughfare) and RICH ('rolling in it, wealth)
