Grateful for any help with any of these.

[barry.m]

Thanks everyone for your answers. I thought of starch but couldn't see how the CH fitted in with the clue at all? I think I will have to go with that though.
Thank you one and all.

Of course, WuTang and chelle7272 ! I must have been having another senior moment.
Thanks for your help.
