[grumpy01]

Thanks both,marked best answer as I had spelling wrong.

[Mamyalynne]

Correct spelling is

Imbecile

[Captain2]

Errr Grumpy - it is ME that has spelled it incorrectly

[Captain2]

Talk about redfaced here :(

[Mamyalynne]

Writesbad parse is perfect

The EC (Eastern Central) postcode area, also known as the London EC postal area,[2] is a group of postcode districts in central London, England. It includes almost all of the City of London and parts of the London Boroughs of Islington, Camden, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Westminster.

Easy done Captain.

[writesbad]

Don't quite get this, Grumpy. "Imbecile" is correct spelling, and parses the clue perfectly. Please explain. WB ;-)

[writesbad]

Thank you. M'lynne. Our posts crossed, and you've made me blush...

[Mamyalynne]

Credit where it is due.

[grumpy01]

It can be spelt either way and if you all look I had spelt it with an e in my question and CI makes more sense for city.

[Mamyalynne]

Never in my life seen it spelled with an 'i' - the 'i' comes from 'bile' as in the parse given.

Your choice however.

Writesbad for BA!

[writesbad]

Thanks again, M'Lynne. But if you look at Grumpy's other posts, he doesn't like "Holby Cety" on the BBC, either

[Mamyalynne]

Noooooooooooooo!!

[writesbad]

thanks, ellie - you've made me blush as well!

[elliemay1]

Well, as Mamy said, Credit where it's due!
