Hi all

I was up bright and early this morning.

Doc so shouldn't frighten the horses.

Enjoy

Oops, was replying to shaneystar's previous post. 41ac can be either v or w so I think you have to put both in the box. V is a lighthouse built at W, I think or maybe the other way round.

Thanks, shaneystar2. Did look up British Islands and saw Skye.
But did not know it had a nickname.
After that it is just web search. Although 33D was difficult at first.
Being far away from Skye does not help.

Thanks for the hint on beetle. Checked Chambers. No reference to it.

I need unclued 17d S?O?SER. Scouser seems a bit far fetched!

The answer is given earlier in this thread.
