Very loose clues last Sat !

[tgriff67]

Thanks to all - Sarumite, you are spot on. I had kitchen for 6d!

[Town Crier]

I am sorry but I think you are all wrong with strata. The Oxford Dictionary makes it pretty clear that the plural of stratus (continuous horizontal sheet of cloud) is STRATI.

[sarumite]

or Stratum .. plural strata .. a layer of any material or atmosphere.

[Aquagility]

I've posted mine with strata - but I fear that Town Crier is probably right. The clue says "way one trapped deserter using horizontal sheets". Damn!

[sarumite]

Aquagility "one" can equally mean "A" in crossword clues.

You're right as ever, S. Done now, anyway, and I'm not sending in another. There are those who would. I know one man who sends in a Herculis entry in the name of each of his eight grandchildren!
