Hi there,

Stuck on a few today. Grateful for any help with the following:-

12a (6) 'Satisfied with hat lacking one quality?' I've got m-t-l-

23a (6) 'Tom, a tv host, taken in by scoundrel.' I've got r---a- (I'm thinking 'rascal' but don't see how it fits in with Tom, etc)

21d (5) 'The writer turned up, having encountered tourist in Newquay?' I've got
e---t.

Thanks a lot.

12 MET T(i)LE (i.e. mettle)

21 Emmet

Tourist

21d EMMET (Cornish dialect for "ant", hence "tourist")

Ramcat

a MC in rat

another word for a tom cat

I've never heard that one, mamya

nor me till now, hope is right

I am astounded at people's knowledge - truly!
Thanks to you all and have a good weekend.

"ramcat" conjures up some unfortunate mental images of what tomcats seem to be best at!
