Hi all. Two today:

They're held on May 1 usually in lead-up to confinement = Labour days.

Peter's out of danger = safe

Many thanks

peter is another word for a safe

confinement as in pregnancy and 1st May used to be known as Labour Day

and Chambers says that Labour Day is held in many countries on May 1st as a celebration of - you've guessed it - labour and workers. The wordplay of course is labour as a preliminary to birth

I don't get how "in lead-up to" works in the clue.

Thanks - those meanings of 'peter' and 'confinement' are new to me.

Confinement is what happens if you don't practise peter sex.

nice one Tom!
what i mean is,if confinement = pregnancy,then "lead-up to confinement" can't really be Labour??

Doesn't confinement mean actually giving birth? Not that I would know....

concluding state of pregnancy from the onset of labor to the birth of a child
