Thank you for the help. Not unduly impressed by that clue. Hey-ho...
I don't like it much either (the cheap part) I would be very happy for my parse to be bettered.
10a A Parisian doesn't like to poach? I have "aspirate" but don't get the reason. Help!
As pirate
pirate = poach
the French don't pronounce their "h's" so (h)as + pirate
Embarrassed = cheap
Current collector = skate (a device under an electric train to collect electricity)
10a: listen carefully, i shall say this only once - ze french don't like to pronounce an H at ze start of un word

It's taken a week to work out ?????
