Thanks Lie-in-King much appreicated have a good day

[Lie-in King]

You're welcome & you too.

Sorry 28d isn't clicking with me - do you have any altered letters for it?

[Calibax]

28d Coalfield?

[totallylost]

No haven't any altered letters unless redstart is wrng, the clue for that one is resorts love throwing out those who wake everyone at the crack of dawn, came up with redstart, which apparently is a bird

[totallylost]

don't think its coalfield thought it might be an anagram so coalfield won't work

[Lie-in King]

Instead of 'Redstart' -

Roosters - anag 'resorts o (love)'

[totallylost]

brilliant that might work just need to work out the anagram, thankks for the tip appreciated

[Lie-in King]

So what letters do you now have for 28d?

[totallylost]

-o-l-i-l-, I think it might be toil something

[Calibax]

You still don't like coalfield then?

[totallylost]

oh dear yes I think you could be right, I was thinking it was an anagram but yes coalfield could be correct, thank you, sorry I dismissed it, thought process on different wavelengths.

Have great weekend

[Lie-in King]
