Happy New Year everyone!
I'm nearly there, but need some help with 23 down: Like a ferocious animal upsetting eg Christian bairn My last letters are ROID. The clash with 22 across means I need a name minus ER as I have 22 across as Isere (French river) but the only name I have left is Mr P who has ER in the middle - help!
and 6 down I have just got no idea, except I think it clashes with 18 across. 6 down: coiled rope on ships we repossess ?e "clash" N.
Also I can find only 6 characters in total, but with 6 clashes in the grid I need a seventh to be written below (I'm assuming this is J) but, S & J are the only people present. So who is the other present person.
Hope this all makes some sense!
Thanks in advance
