6d is confusing me....
Seafood platter at first not cooked to directions (6) P ? A ? N ?

8d Freedom for river fish to bob up and down (8) I'm thinking Riddance, am I right??
R ? D ? A ? C ?

Hi,
Try 'prawns'.
I think riddance is correct.

6 Dn. prawns

8 Dn. I have riddance also but only because it fits in ...

Hi trisha and eleanormcn, (snap, again).
I can understand the 'dance' bit for bobbing up and down but the 'rid' bit I simply do not get.

hello again,
naturally, as soon as one says they just don't get it, they do!
'r' for river, and 'id' is a fish.

Thank you for that schottsjimmy - never heard of a fish called id!

Sorry shottsjimmy, spelt your name incorrectly - I'm blaming the tiny keyboard on my netbook...

I have just checked my ancient Collins and sure enough - 'id' as a fish is not in it. I then checked my Collins Gem and all it gives is 'ide' for fish. Back to the drawing board! Thanks eleanormcn.

According to my ancient Chambers (7th ed.) 'id' or 'ide' is a fish from the same family as the carp so you are spot on.

shottsjimmy, if Trisha will forgive us for hijacking her thread, what have you for 1 Dn. c-o--- and 12 Ac. --l-e-? Thanks. emcn
