calibax
don't understand your answer please explain

[duntocher]

Sorry the winner, seems an excellent answer, i really intended to asl calibax to explain rationale of market trader

[penelope2]

As Calibax provided the answer I think it right that the explanation should be left to him/her. Will provide answer or alternative later.

[TheWinner]

Tick it = Mark it

Crimson picture goes back (meaning backwards) = RED ART backwards, makes trader.

i.e. Market trader

[duntocher]

Calibax. After more thought, your answer is excellent, well done and a big thank you.

[penelope2]

The only problem is the 'e' in market, guess that's down to the Compilers Licence. Nice one TheWinner

[penelope2]

Of course the ? mark after 'Tick it' could indicate 'sounds like' -hence Market for Mark It.

[Calibax]

Sorry not to reply sooner. As others have said;
Market sounds like Mark it and trader is Red art reversed (going back)

[TheWinner]

Could the second one be Goldsmith?

[quinie]

For no2 I thought of bartender tender -soft and bar for barium but it's ba -back to the drawing board

[duntocher]

Thankyou The Winner Goldsmith certainly sounds promising.
Thanks to all for your help greatly appreciated.
