5d I don't believe you and your unfunny jokes:??n? ???? m? ??u?? 4a Barnet v remaining Dutch side, initially top: w???w? ?e?k - if this is Widow's peak, why? And if it is, the 5d starts with a d.

5d DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH
4a WIDOWS PEAK (Barnet Fair = hair in rhyming slang)

5d Don't make me laugh

Where does the Dutch side fit in, please, Mark ?

[Bogtrotter]

Thanks for those - is it to do with Dutch meaning wife?

[Lie-in King]

Widow's peak - 'widow' (remaining "Dutch", as wife) + s(ide) (initially) + 'peak' (top)

[ladyalex]

Thanks, Maj..and now all I want to know is hoe the 'v' fits....

[ladyalex]

or even how the 'v' fits

[bibblebub]

it's the shape of the hair

[ladyalex]

Thank you , Bibblebub.

I think I can safely say that I could never have solved that clue.
(And I have a Widow's peak too!)

[bibblebub]

the term is usually applied to men with receding hair

[ladyalex]

Not according to my Mum.....

[Mamyalynne]

Not necessarily...
