that's right.
It ends with A - do you want the answer or tips to help you to work it out?

Tips to help work it out would be good. Thanks

er(ic)a (?)

It must be frustrating when you specifically ask for tips and NOT the answer and some clown blunders in with the answer.

The logic, in case you haven't cottoned on, is IC (shortened ice, or diamonds, inside ERA.

I have just read Torquemada's caustic comment and it is obvious an apology is due.
My posting was in reply to your original request for help and sadly I overlooked the intervening postings. I am well into my nineties and it will be apparent that I am not at all au fait with this media.
I did find being called a clown rather hurtful and feel that 'a doddering half-wit' would have been more appropriate and acceptable. More care will be taken in future.

Don't you worry about it chiff. You are obviously doing very well and anyone can make an unintentional mistake.

Chiff,I agree. Torquemada owes you an apology. he is far too quick to shoot his mouth off and as usual has got it wrong.

Bless you, chiff. Would that the rest of us be so helpful and "media-adaptable" if we ever reach our nineties.

I thought you were older Aristo! Ha ha.
