12a Demonstrator . . . . one who shows, a 'shower'

[Stephen_G]

12a dorset matron to get out of show-er - gives you Demonstrator.

Demonstrator...Show her ?

demonstrator - a person who shows.

[quinie]

[wjj]

i was thinking of a shower of water thanks all i feel even more stupid than usual now!!!

[quinie]

Yes, there was a comedian called Al Murray

[Stephen_G]

You weren't the only one, wjj. I was working the theory that the last five letters were storm.

[quinie]

Thank you, johnalex. All that fresh air weeding the garden this afternoon has done me a power of good !

Thnaks for answering this too! I had demonstrator, but my brain is obviously not on the same tangents as the setter! :)

By the way, Al Murray is the real name of "The Pub Landlord". A beautiful British name :)
