Thanks guys

Buenchico

Hmmm

Svejk's answer fits the letters but not the OED definition of 'nannied: "That has or employs a nanny. In extended use: overprotected, sheltered; restricted"

However it's probably right!

Well done, Lynne!

According to the OED, the definition is both 'English regional' and 'Australian' for "A scandalous or troublesome person or thing".

In particular, "The Lingo: Listening to Australian English" by Graham Seal (University of New South Wales Press, 1999) states: "Nointer is a Taswegianism for a precocious child or youth destined for a bad end".

*** 'ell, Seekerz, they set some damned hard crosswords in your part of the world!

Good grief! AB's swear filter is getting even stricter! I thought that the present tense of 'bloodied' ceased to be regarded as swearing years ago (and, of course, it has a non-vulgar meaning as well!)

Mamyalynne

yes the censor has gone mad lately.

Aha ! The plot thickens ...thanks Chris and mamya, sorry I can't give you the BA mamya, I've been a bit quick to award it.

Yes, this one is a bit of a stinker, it throws up some really curly clues and makes a mess of Saturday mornings. Thanks again to you both.

Unless the techies in AB Towers have changed things, you should still be able to click on 'Mark as Best Answer', which will change what appears as 'Best Answer'. (I've lost quite a few that way!)

Mamyalynne

BA is not an issue.
