Thanks, sedge47 (Meranti wasn't in my dictionary) and K (by the way, K, I have just been to SA for the first time and had a great time based on Cape Town). Where is the "writer" in MENS? I understand the rest.

[JMR27]

K must be off-line just now...re 25a male = m + writer's = (p)en's (i.e. needing a p) = mens

Thanks JMR, for shining the light!

Hi Foxy

I was called away but I see my good friend Judy has answered your query.

You did the right thing by basing yourself in Cape Town as it is a stunning city. I hope you got to see some of the lovely beaches nearby and the vineyards in Stellenbosch.

Kind regards

K
