Thank you all Only two to get now ! You have been very helpful.
Captain 2 I will number them next time sorry :-)

[TheWinner]

I have a suggestion for number 1, but I will see what others say first, as I am a bit out of touch on here recently.

[Captain2]

Come on The Winner - spill the beans (you're usually right anyway!)

Hi Captain2, well no, actually, my username makes me look like a right ****.
I am not always right, rather, it's the reverse.
I have had a little snifter, and am ready for bed, however, I have looked at my list of occupations, and I have found one that "may" match, but it's a bit "iffy".
The list shows an occupation called a "seasoner".

I was thinking water = sea
and when we were kids, we would say things like: well my dad's bigger than your dad, so NER!

put the two together, sea+so ner = seasoner.
it doesn't mean it's right.
