sorry for not getting back sooner Factor
the letters I have are D?c?s??n
10d Detergent (cleaning fluid)
11d champagne (NE region of France)
12d S?t???i?n (state of affairs)
13d Neanderthal (caveman)
Thaks poortony- yes so it will be DECISION and your 12d will be SITUATION.
I don't have the crossword- I just like to see loose ends tied up on threads and as neil2 seems unable to join in on any of his threads and give feedback on our suggestions I wondered if others could help close this one off
