Help please with parsing my LOI:
11a It makes one sick, withdrawing article in city. (6j

I have the right answer of emetic, which makes one sick. I cannot get a city with presumably a, an or the removed and written backwards? No doubt blindingly obvious!

Thanks.

The article is Item and the city is EC, used in crosswords quite often.

11a: emetic = males on ssick (def)
item ( reversed) - article
EC- London City postcode

Needs some help with 6d....Minister to fly over home counties.

N????

Nurse, minister (definition) Run = fly and SE, home counties/south east.

Elle and Malone - many thanks for the quick, clear replies. I was obviously on the wrong track with the article and, yes, know EC well but brain clearly not fully engaged!

Sorry about typo with post 3!
The cat was helping!!
It should of course have read "makes one sick"!

I thought you were making a dig at us boys re man flu!

Tennis... glad I could help. I knew you had no problems with the 'emetic = makes one sick', so I concentrated on the rest!
