The Times On Fri, Sat And Mon (One From Each)

[TioMateo]

Fri :- Wasting £1000, develop small cars (7) E?T?T?S. Why is it ESTATES (cars)?

Sat :- One stroke of a Chinese brush perhaps has a role to play (9,4) C?A?A?T?R ?A?T. Why is it CHARACTER PART (a role to play)?

Mon :- Scot is devout fellow with this sort of firm (7,7) L?M?T?D ?O?P?N?. Why is it LIMITED COMPANY (sort of firm)?

[Captain2]

Fri Develop = Gestate losing £1K (G) = ESTATE + S(mall)

[bobbinwales]

something to do with (G)estates?

[Captain2]

Mon, have seen seen this, but seems a bit too contrived or me. :))

LIMITED COMPANY – Double definition, one jocular – S(CO)T, a ST who contains (limits) a CO

[bobbinwales]

In SCOT the Co is in St (saint)
Co is an abbreviation (limited) of company
Yes, well contrived

[Captain2]

Sat, I suppose chinese/japanese, etc use a brush to form characters rather than us lot using letters to make words.:))

[bobbinwales]

something to do with A C (a chinese) in Charter?

[Captain2]

Are you following me, bobbin? ;0))))))

[bobbinwales]

Just I think theres only us 2 around as focus is on LandF, and I;m not as quick as you. I think we have different suggestions for the character one ... is nt there charter brush technique for cleaning your teeth.
Am out of my depth on these

[Captain2]

Only joking, bobbin. :))

Still think it's to do with 'writing' in Chinese.
One brush stroke forms part of a 'character', so it is a 'character part' as is a role in a play.
