Spectator # 2561

[Matakari]

Good evening, thanks again for the answers given to my queries and happy to state that the thematic was not as tricky as it first appeared when once I discovered 21(D), and this before any hints were offered. Just one thing, what is the relevance of the title, “Ports”?

I asked that yesterday, Matakari but didn't get an answer.

Cycle the last letter to the front...

[Tilly2]

Aww!

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Tilly2. PS I must have missed your earlier mention of this.

[Tilly2]

I've just checked and I obviously didn't post it. I wrote it but didn't post it.

Did a lot of that yesterday...

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Tilly2 - at least you had an ongoing theme yesterday!

Matakari, glad to hear you fared well with the theme this week. Onwards and upwards next Thursday...?

[Matakari]

Thanks, NACW, I'll keep persevering.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Matakari - keep on keeping on!
