thanks. It's also very easy of course . Could've put an exclamation mark on the end. Electronic assistance was used. Anyway having been brought out of the woodwork by this thread I now need a rest...

Anyway having been brought out of the woodwork by this thread I now need a rest.......easy yes, but it's going to be a swine to work into a clue..........
I may be being dense, but i don't understand where the answer is, in the above clue. None of the words are 6 letters.
It's very easy to work into a clue if you think Araucarian rather than Ximinean, but you can do it either way. Not everything has to be an anagram... Or are you saying I've cruised in and spoiled the fun in a smartarsey kind of way, whilst not being as clever as I think I am?
Yeah reading back it's all a bit tenuous. Sorry.Thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful.
One of the three letter words needs to be "Boy"
