1 Layette (yet in late)
6. Rolled?
4 legible
5 a scraper is a cleaner?
4 legible?
cars damaged (anag of cars)? Another word for "by" is "per" - suggests answer = scraper (a cleaner).
3 robotic looks ok.
Have these given any more letters in clue 2?
Question Author
thanks everybody for answers. unfortunately no more letters for clue 2. as regards 5 and 6 i'm going with scraper and rolled . does everyone concur ?
2 restful
2 (not wholly) rest + full(satisfying)
pipped me Donny, well done
Well done Donny - my parse is different though
Still (restful) = rest (relax) + ful(L) (not wholly satisfying)
Question Author
thanks everybody - that's all for now
JJ109, your parse nicely gets rid of the second "l" in full.
