Thanks bubbletub. I don't how that happened; I just seemed to lose my first attempt.

[bibblebub]

i know that you've been around for a long time so hope you didn't mind me posting the instructions

[SadOwl]

Purely as a matter of interest, I can't see your orignal posting either Vimto. But, oddly, it does appear by following bibblebub's link!

R for S in shine.

[John_R69]

It's Rhone - R + hone for Rhone

[glasman]

Hone means to sharpen not polish.

I agree with Glasman Rhine better fits the clue

Thanks for the clues, much appreciated

[Ragwort]

It Is RHINE- r (for right) replaces the S (small) in shine (polish) to make a flow-er (a river)

[dannyk13]

Rhone ( r + hone)
