Individual welcomed in Madeira (4)

B - - - .

boas

Surely, it's BODY (= individual and flavour in a wine).
How do you explain BOAS, Helena?

boas is welcome in portugese

Ta Helena! My Portugese is non-existent. Stlii think it's BODY. Madeira a full-bodied fortified wine. Body = an individual.

Boa tarde,Helena,como esta?

TJ

Thanks, helena.

That now gives me an A in my last clue to finish, which is:

Citizen English regarded as sympathetic (4, 5)

E - S - / E - A - R


The above looks odd - at least the second word does, with those letters.

I am certain the opening letter E of the second word is correct, though.

The R comes from the answer to
One-time players making extortionate demands? (8)
which I have as E X A C T O R S.
(I originally had EXACTING - which would give an N for the final letter, (instead of R), of the 5-letter word above.)

E A S T E N D E R

E AS T E N D E R

I think body might be right. The other answer looks like East Ender.
Cheers Isobel.

E AS TENDER it is! The D as in boDy and not the A as in boAs, Eh?
