Any help with these last two would be much appreciated:
25d The other chap thought to be weak (5) p?ss?
32a Dinar note found in delivery vehicle (4) dr?? Thank you

[JUNKMAN]

32a d-ray

[Vicasso]

32a Breweries use a vehicle called a dray to deliver beer

[JMR27]

doh.....thank you Junkman. That makes the other clue p?ssy ....pussy? but why?

[JUNKMAN]

Well it is slang for a weak man - youi know, 'He's a bit of a pussy.'

[JMR27]

I did think of that and I presume that's the answer but I don't think much of the clue... Thanks again for your help

[JUNKMAN]

The only other thought I had was whether chap ( or chapped skin ) contained pus - as that would make it pussy

[Vicasso]

Are you sure about the 'P', cissy springs to mind

[JMR27]

thanks again to you both

The phrase 'the other' means 'sexual intercourse' as in 'Fancy a bit of ther other?' and so does 'pussy'! I know it refers specifically to the female genitals, but it is used crudely to mean 'sex'. Personally, I think it an excellent clue!

hi Quizmonster - yes, you are spot on! I see it now (at long last) and yes, it is a clever clue! Thanks for your help - it's much appreciated.
