I believe the first clue is FIRING. Thankyou.

[Beatrice35]

Thought of firing yet was misled by the clue with E as first letter. Had an earful from another poster recently for assuming that another poster's letters could be awry so did not want to get another nagging ;-)
Warm wishes, Bea :-)

Just go ahead and suggest anyway Beatrice. Frequently the reason why the questions finish up on here IS because one or more letters is/are wrong. That has been the case in 2 out of the last 3 answers I have given.

Thanks gen2. Whenever not certain of answer always put a question mark by the answer or say this is just a guess yet some posters like to shoot me down if dare to type in the wrong answer like have committed a great offence worthy of a publlic flogging ;-) Try my best by everyone + am always polite. Have worked out the right answer to many clues in recent past where letters have not been totally right too. There are some real pedants here, yet, saying this, most posters are lovely so will try best to ignore the rest. Thanks gen2 for your kind words- sunshine on a rainy day :-) You are a star!! Dios te bendiga- God bless you!
