[pixie374]

Why coastguard?

[elliemay1]

...because it fits the pattern!

[fiction-factory]

Coastguard fits the pattern but maybe we need more info- is there a theme , is there a clue 10 and clue 8

[pixie374]

Some months have more than one

[fiction-factory]

Aizoaceae is all i can find that fits

[pattyanne]

You gave me a great help. Thank you. 10 and 8 are other clues! Those answers are ' emergency services' . Makes a lot more sense now! Thank you.
By the way, it's the Irish Mail on Sunday crossword.
