Pregnable

[kayakamina]

Thanks . How does it fit the clue?

[Argee]

Could it be pregnable? Can't see the first part of the clue though.

[Argee]

Pregnable contains the word banger back to front.

[Magyar]

El for L, Banger for car and P for parking in reverse order (back to front), meaning vulnerable to attack.

[Argee]

Yes. EL, (car clapped out) BANGER P (for parking) all back to front - open to attack!

[kayakamina]

Thank you both .

[Argee]

Glad we agree, Magyar! You beat me to it.

[Magyar]

Only just Argee :-)

[Argee]

Do we get a special certificate for helping kayakamina??? I can never do Azed, only Everyman.

[kayakamina]

Argee I'm embarrassed I didn't get it! Sometimes we cant see the.........

[Magyar]

I've never done either, the Observer is one Sunday paper I don't buy

[Argee]

Oh dear, and it is the oldest Sunday newspaper in the world!! We oldies have to stick together. I must admit, we spend a fortune on newspapers, we also get the Sunday Telegraph, and the Sunday Times, and the Independent on Sunday.........

Wow! Argee. And I thought we wasted a lot of time reading the Snday papers - just two of them: Sun Times and Observer!
