Char, cleaner, Is (Cleaner is, not cleaner's, belonging to) = Ma, mother.

Yes, Charisma is right.

Cleaner's = CHAR IS + MA

Thanks, Brendan and Malone. I'd fallen into the trap of thinking it was mother's and then couldn't see where the i fitted!

25a Making call, I land (5)

Sorry jazzgirl, I'm being thick, I still don't see how the answer is constructed, where's the 'making call'?

If you were making a call (on the phone)

girl for example would be spelt out as golf, India, romeo, lima
