chrise and scorpio + j-thanks v much.

Cheers for that. We saw it was the only possibility (obviously not 'Islamise') but didn't get the logic till this thread explained.

22a. Dissolute son primarily hooked on strong oriental drink (6) - RAKISH (Dissolute) :-would fit the definition,

- but, if it's SAKI (Strong oriental drink) with the S(on) 'Hooked' (ie AKI S) + H(ooked), then there's the R unaccounted for - so I've gone drastically wrong somewhere.

Raki is a drink, Brendan.

That's great, many thanks Rusty.

You are welcome, Brendan!
