I’m at the brick wall stage.

I think 20a starts BRISTOL…something? is there a BRISTOL something dog breed?

22a TENNIS…something (Net?) fits but I can’t see why apart from Anna Kournikova being in the middle of the clue so I don’t think that’s the right path.

20a Bristol Cities.

It’s cockney rhyming slang for titties (milkers) and the 11 is the football team.

It’s also shortened to Bristols. So next time you see a girl with nice tits you can say ‘Lovely Bristols’

Les_Zeppelin · February 12, 2020, 2:46pm

Rover is like Fido. It’s a nickname for a dog.
