Spectator 1941

Here is a link to 'Solo jeopardy' by Columba.

There is an American spelling in an important clue, and there
may be an 'outcry' over 13a!

An enjoyable fun puzzle.

Thank you K and mintyman, and congratulations to Mrs. King who struck the right note with ring-tone.

My thanks too to those who provide the link

Hello all - just to identify myself as the Mrs. King of the ring-tone. We are having a good run at the moment, aren't we? Am away at the moment in Lincolnshire so limited computer access but about to download this week's offering before whizzing out

[kayakamina]

Hi Jackie. Congratulations on your success with 1938.

Glad you plumped for 'Tone' after we spoke, as it was one of those
annoying multiple choice solutions.

Regards K

Good morning all and thanks to K and M. I was totally out of crosswords so this will keep me occupied...probably for some considerable time:o)

I plumped for 'tone' but it didn't help me with the hat.
anyway many congrats to Jackie.
and many thanks indeed to K and Mintyman for the PDF's - much appreciated

You forgot to mention "et moi" last week! ;-)

Sincere apolgies MNL. I don't use this site very often so I missed the fact that you also had won. Congratulations.

An outcry over 13a indeed. 16d is another (but similar) story.

[hindle-a]

Thanks for the links kayakamina and mintyman-I enjoyed this puzzle- probably because I got the theme straight away and could fill in some of the unclued lights and the three related answers before attempting the others.Although I had never heard of the "alternative" definition of 13 across -Chambers to the rescue!

Last letter of 41A...Is it E or S?

[verycross]

Worked it out now....It's neither?
