Te Week 841

Last one: 22D: Wind in the Northern port? (5) T?I?E. Is it TWINE? If so why? Help please.

[Nibble]

Northern port = Tyne
Wind In Port = w

so Twine

[bert_h]

'northern' is a funny way of saying 'first letter of',
so it's T(he) + WINE.

[wickham]

Thank you both, I was going down the route taken by Nibble but was concerned about the Y; I like the idea of Northern as first letter as it is a Down clue.

[Kerrymar]

Funny how different people reach the same answer - I thought of Northern (i.e. Yorkshire) 'the' being T' followed by (port) wine!
