Hi all,
Sorry for the delay in replying, went to bed frustrated.
Clues across
MINOR (Very small) - gives me the first letters N&R in the two answers.
AIM (Goal) - gives me A&M as the third letter in the two words.
GERMANE (Apt)- Gives me the A&E as the 5th letter in each word
PUSILLANIMOUS (Native) - gives me the O&S as the 7th letter in both words.
COYPU (Large rodent) gives me the last letter Y in the first word.
Hope I haven't confused you even more. Will stick to straightforward cryptic clue crosswords in future.
Thank you so much for your kind endeavours.
Colin.
