Thanks Kettledrum - that was quick !! The only trouble is that I dont get it !! Can you clarify please ?

[kettledrum]

Ga - abbreviation of Georgia ( US state) outside enev - anag (horrible) of even.
Chambers definition of geneva - spirit distilled from grain and flavoured with juniper berries, made chiefly in the Netherlands.

Georgia = GA around an anag of EVEN
GENEVA is dutch gin

The last one I am having a hard time with is:
4. Refreshment for an overweight carrier. (5,6)

I have toyed with stout, heavy and porter but cant come up with a winner. Any extra clues gratefully accepted !!!

I think your last answer is "heavy porter". Try going on Google with just that - including the quotes!

4. I wondered if this was actually stout porter.

I am stuck on 5. Game to produce poor quality china. Has anyone got a clue please. I only have this one to answer
