Bert's pal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ernie

'bert's pal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ernie that I've seen before include "National Savings computer" , "Premium Bond selecting machine" , "Man - chooses Premium Bond winners" , "Eric Morecambe & - - Wise" , "Bondsman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
