Tobago?

[fiction-factory]

Is there a theme please?

[aurion]

Thank you!

[Jackdaw33]

I get to go but where does the ba come from?

[fiction-factory]

TOB A GO

Maybe it's a crossword clue

[Captain2]

Please help a thicko. Why Tobago? - apart from 'island', (6), starts with T

[sandyRoe]

I'd like to know,too. My suggestion was just a guess.

[fiction-factory]

Toba was a tribe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_people
Go= start?

[fiction-factory]

Ignore mine- doesn't fully explain the clue

[Captain2]

I've found it is a crossword clue from The Lady magazine.

I reckon we need a 'starter'

[Jackdaw33]

Good answer, ff, but that doesn't explain the 'only'.

[fiction-factory]

Nor the 'going out'- that's why i withdrew my answer

[Captain2]

FF, if you are using 'Island tribe' = Toba, then the answer won't be an island.

(PS I can't do any better)

[fiction-factory]

No I was using ISLAND as the definition and TOBA as the tribe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_people

[Jackdaw33]

Initial letters of going out.

[fiction-factory]

The Toba were not an island tribe as far as I know- just a tribe from some South American countries

[fiction-factory]

Jackdaw has it. We got there in the end.

[Captain2]

Well done team! (and I do not include myself in the squad)

[Jackdaw33]

Still doesn't explain 'only'.

[Captain2]

Is it not an indicator that you take the 'starters' from ONLY 'Going Out' rahter than all the words in the clue?
