apparently 'tug' was in italics making the answer 'the leaning tower'

[Captain2]

24a seen as 'the leaning tower' (Tug is in italics - leaning)

[fiction-factory]

The Leaning Tower (Tower as in a tug towing a boat)

[dreamer56]

By the way, TUG is written in italics! So could be 'The Leaning...'

The Leaning Tower - it's been answered several times. The 'tug' should be in italics, that's what leads to Leaning, and a Tug is a tower, something that tows.

[fiction-factory]

ah, got it- V1= six which is SEX in Latin

[dreamer56]

Thanks all. Just as I posted the italics bit, I got it! I never knew the Pip, and Ox definitions. So, is 23 dwn VIOLA?
