ah well there you are then i didn't "skim" well enough!
I had my sons girlfriend trying to get the anagram last night, she was on the phone and he was reading out the letters she kept queerying my letters and asking if I had the crossword right, must admit to only doing the basic ones needed, but was sure the letters were ok.
I just thought that by lunch time somebody would have asked before me, so thought it must be sooo easy.
thanks for letting me know it was not simple and I am not an idiot
