Happy New year to you all! I hope you had a good holiday. I was amazed how many big crosswords there were to solve. BUT I didn't do any of them His Nibs would have divorced me if I had spent all my time doing them!!!
I did do Saturday's jumbo. And I have finished it but there are some answers that I can't quite fathom. For example "Insomniac removes clothing to get up with not so much" With the letters I have the answer has to be "sleepless" . OK with the insomniac bit and "with not so much" but where does the "removes clothing" fit in please?
And "provide with markets for start of Verdi ballet " The answer is Giselle (which I have seen!). Sell,OK but where does Verdi fit in please?

Hi Steven & Happy New Year to you :-)

Sleepless - 'peels' (removes clothing, up) + 'less' (not so much)
Giselle - 'give' (provide) with 'sell' (markets) for 'V(erdi)' (start)

goodgoalie

Sell instead of the V in 'give'

Thank you so much all of you. I am very grateful. Would I have got the "Peels" part without your help? I doubt it.
