Roedean
Anagram of renovated minus tv ( split up set)

[gangesboy]

yes you are correct ff = anag of renovated minus tv (set)_

[porilo]

Well done and thanks!! I never even thought about tv set. So that would make 25a N?N?T?E?

It must be either nineties or nineteen but which?
"Lords members may be nervous here, being of a certain age group"
I'm tending towards nineties but I'm not sure why.

[fiction-factory]

nervous nineties is a cricketing term (Lords cricket ground)

[porilo]

Nervous nineties? I would never in a million years have got that. Thanks very much. :-)

[fiction-factory]

Yes- it's when a batsman gets into the nineties approaching a century.
Got to go to work now.
