TESTERN & TIZZY are both words for a sixpence

[ubasses]

ripieno?

[amtaff]

Ive just discovered that "tizzy" is an old term for a sixpence so now I know!. Thanks

[amtaff]

Ripieno confirmed too. Thanks everybody who replied

[amtaff]

Also realise now I gave wrong letters. Id enterred grin instead of girn so R should have been I

'testern' and 'tizzy' must be VERY old if neither me or hubby had heard of them :-)

[edn17]

tes (set [composed] backwards) + tern (bird) = testern
tizzy is an old word for sixpence

rip (inferior horse) + i + one backwards = ripieno (supplementary performer)

14ac is girn not grin
