1a ill disposed collie had some ringed spots of colour I have -c-l-i which are correct according to2, 3 & 4 down this is my last unsolved clue and I cannot think what it can be
very grateful thanks to the 4 geniuses (genii?) for such a swift response. I had never heard this word before and that's what I like about this Q.A. encyclopedia. I learn something new on many occasions - only hope my raoidly diminishing ability to remember some things for even 5 mins. will be improved by keeping up with xwords, puzzles etc. It's very gratifying to know how kind peole are and quick to help.Many thanks again from a VERY senior citizen.
