This is where I have found queires with the competition crossword in the past, that in fact it may two words such as your example still making 9
Other answers that are like this strike out at me more and this one has not!!
The clue does say 9 rather than 5,4 BUT I will do some research into the answer you have kindly given as it does make sense
Thanks for your help and I will find out enxt week if the answers are correct and i will scan before sending off as I have another quiery which is two options in the dictinary but both meaning the same thing and the difference between and A & E
