Wilstan - I don't do the toughie (not enough time), would you be very helpful and post the letters that you have - if you have any, and I and the others might find this a bit easier to help you :-)

[pbeach]

And bang - in someone comes with the answers... typical

[BigDave44]

Sorry!!

[pbeach]

BigDave44 - No problem :-)

[wilstan22]

Thank you Big Dave44 and pbeach
I do apologise for omitting the letters I have available. I will include them in future as I am very grateful for your help.

[BigDave44]

If you can find me a job I wouldn't have nothing to do all day except the Telegraph crosswords!!

[pbeach]

Wilstan - I guess the normal DT cryptic was too easy today :-)

[pbeach]

BigDave - hows your C++ and Relational Database knowledge?

[wilstan22]

Today's cryptic was "manageable" Tomorrow ? Who knows?
Once again thank you both for your help.

[BigDave44]

How dis you guess my expertise? DB2 yes, C++ No

[pbeach]

Hmm Being able to code is a must...
