Tks Sandy! brill
Is the clue BANKERS or BANKER'S?
(it's a reference to 'the gnomes of Zurich')
Question Author
oops, no eurasian doesn't fit
I see the Song (back numbers) and the Me (writer).
I don't see why GNOMES fits the "so called Swiss bankers" bit- am I missing the obvious? Thanks
Thanks bibblebub- your explanation must have appeared while I was typing my question
Question Author
Tks all! Factor, Swiss bankers are commonly called the Gnomes of Zurich.
Thanks all- I didn't know that.
I was thinking too deeply anyway- I thought it meant the answer sounded like the name of a Swiss river
EMULATOR. (ER = QUEEN. MULATTOR IS MIXED RACE. MINUS T for tory leader

stuck on 17 across myself : (
I've got a feeling, Shooty, that 17a could be GNOMES
HA HA. as you can guess, i'm new here : )
Why, 13 hours after the solutions were given, are you posting one of them and saying that you are still stuck on the other?
just found this page biblebub and i;m trying to find my way around. sorry if this has annoyed you. its a learning curve for me
no, shooty, it hasn't annoyed me (but I strongly suspect that you are not as new as you claim)
i promise you i am. this is the first time i have ever used a blog site and i ussually stick to the sun crossword at work. i have been trying and mostly completing the express crossword when i get home. and have sat down for nearly three hours tonight to challange myself against the mail with a great deal of help from the internet. just trying to improve my knowledge and spelling. should have called myself novice boy hey
