beau sounds like bow - front

[Confounded]

Thanks - I thought of beau but couldn't parse it!

Beau - sounds like bow

[maurice]

Anybody else as thoroughly disgusted with this offering from Paul as I was?
Hardly a clue worth it's salt! Or am I exaggerating? Think I'll jump the next
one from him on principle: they've often been poor, but this was ridiculous.

[maurice]

Apologies for the apostrophe that crept into "its" nevertheless!

Beau

[bathtub]

How is 'bow' (in the sense of 'front') a homophone for 'beau'? Surely it's pronounced 'bough'?
I agree with Maurice. As Cyclops in Private Eye (aka the Grauniad's Brummie) might have put it, a pi$$poor offering. The latest of many, sadly.
