Mephisto 2439

[JMR27]

Can anyone please help me with the last one? 16a Rumours about daughter taking more than one drink (6)
O?DI?S the only word I can think of is oldies but that has nothing to do with the clue

[sarumite]

On-dit is a rumour .. does this help?

[JMR27]

Where is the "more than one drink", K?

[JMR27]

hi Aquagility - just in case K is on a coffee break - it = Italian vermouth

[kayakamina]

Hi Aq. 'It' (Vermouth )is a drink. Daughter is taking On more than one drink i.e. ITS

On d its...Rumours

Hope you are well. K

Sorry JMR I started to answer AQ and the phone rang, but I see you filled in for me. Thanks.

In all the years I been doing the Mephisto I have not completed one as quickly as today's so I'm wondering what Azed and BeezleBub are going to be like.

Cheers K

Hi K - yes that was the easiest Mephisto I've ever come across (apart, of course, from the last clue!) Thanks again

[Aquagility]

Thank you all. In fact I had on-dit on my pad even before sarumite gave his answer - and I just could not see the justification.
