5A : Why can I only think of WIDNES as being the answer? Doesn't seem right somehow. Help please!!

[Rollo]

I have no idea why you think that.

I don't know what the clue is.

So good luck!

[kayakamina]

Americans may pronounce WITNESS (see) as WIDNES (English town)

[ash24]

Many thanks Kayakamina ... trumps as usual.

[Rollo]

But still no clue given.

Not very helpful for those of us who are left in ignorance.

But never mind. As long as you have your explanation I suppose that is all that matters.

Rollo

The clue was -Name of English town-see how American might pronounce it (6)

[ash24]

Rollo, please accept my unbridled apologies for not being more explicit. I am in Turkey with a Boss in Intensive Care ... and things just got a bit frazzled this morning.
It was rude of me ... but would you please accept that I did not have the time to be polite!
I apologise profusely.
