Hi SuperNav. Would appreciate your having another look at the letters for 14 Down - they may be right but just don't look like it. Thanks.

The one that may be under suspicion is the A - the others I'm fairly happy with - if that helps :)

[SuperNav]

Thanks Gen2

[SuperNav]

Many apologies Biley

 

Its the first T that is suspect ! not the A

[biley]

My apologies SuperNav! Your letters may have not LOOKED right but they certainly are.

The answer you want is (and yes this is correct!) TIDEWAITER

According to Chambers dictionary a TIDEWAITER is exactly as per your clue ie "a person who waits to see how things go before acting"

New one on me that one!

No apoligies necessary Biley

 

Many thanks for the answer:)
