????K/?????
Thanks for looking.

[Baldric]

STOCK something?

STILL maybe ?

[vakayu]

Could it be Black Watch,regiment of yesteryear also watch for times?

[Baldric]

That ^^^^ looks better!

[Frank97]

Thanks both, I'll give Black Watch a go, see what fits.

[vakayu]

You're welcome Frank97,please let me know if it's correct.

[Frank97]

Not sure it is correct as I can't think of the answer to
Tie as worn by a Mod? 8 N?C?C???, I assume it's NECK something.
The second C is from Watch.

Blank stare?

[dannyk13]

Necklace?

[Frank97]

Thanks for the suggestions Danny, think I'll have to come back to this one.

[shoota]

Didn't Mods wear bootlace ties?

[dannyk13]

As far as I remember they wore broad highly coloured ties.

[Frank97]

You could be right Shoota, in which case I've made a right mess of the crossword, oh well, always tomorrow.

[dannyk13]

They also wore Skinny ties.

[Tilly2]

Teddy boys wore bootlace ties. Mods wore thin ties but I can't remember what they were called, sorry.

[vakayu]

Another suggestion could it be neckcord ties=very slim as mods wore?

[Frank97]

Thanks again for all the suggestions, going to have to leave it though now.

[Tilly2]

We need Tonyav. He was a Mod.

[mallyh]

watch chain?

[Frank97]

Turns out it was "stock still" and "necklace".
