Thank you both. Finished now. Goodnight

[eanceoil]

Good night Bernie and Mamyalynne, I'm just fit for the leaba now.

For my benefit, can someone explain why RIPE. If I had have been hung out I might be feeling ROPY.

[poorclare]

Yes I would think Ropy, but I don't think that 24d is Penny for 27a A grey area of contention during the american civil way Tea Party ~ I was/am thinking of the Boston Tea Party (Earl Grey) looking at that again I am possible wrong,

[Davemano]

27 Could it be THE SOUTH whose soldiers wore grey

[poorclare]

Yes indeed Dave, Thank you.
I am still stuck on a few, think I shall have a cuppa ~ it might refresh the brain, if its possible. lol

Smashing - like to do these puzzles and hope the people from THE SOUTH aren't needing 24 PENNY, or you possibly after the tea
