26a Picked up, like a Tiller girl who's attractive? (%)
I have: H?N?Y
I have read the previous references to this clue but still can't arrive at the answer. HONEY? HUNKY? HUNNY?

Honey

Sounds like (picked up) Attila the Hun-ny

Thank you mamya. However, where does the ending EY come from?

"like a Hun" could be "hunny"

Dreadful clue, even if one is old enought to remember Tiller girls.

The way I see it, it's simply a sounds like to get you to a word that means...

girl who's attractive - (a) Honey


I realise in chat/text some may write 'Hunny' so maybe I'm being over confident.

I went for Honey , sounds like (picked up) hunny (like a hun).
Awful clue!

Not sure, rossim. The "picked up" is a "sounds like" for Attila, isn't it? There should be another "sounds like" to get from HUNNY to HONEY.
Winnie-the-Pooh spelled "hunny" like that, anyway!
