Thanks very much for prompt reply sarumite. I can now post off the completed crossword. I think we people who have a go at the Generalist have to become proficient in some odd Gaelic terms and a smattering of french expressions too. Is Didymus the offspring of an Irish father and a French mother (or vice versa) ?

I found "Glasgow hoosie" after a lot of searching!

In Edinburgh we called it rounders,played in a local cul-de-sac, all through the summer - those were the days!

Can anyone help with 42a Lance-corporals, once?

Thanks everyone. Had been looking for that answer for ages. Never thought to look up NAIL in the dictionary - there it is in Chambers!!

Aquagility

Jenniferd, I have Spessades for 42a. You may well be right with Speisades, but I think that the Jury is still out on this!

Aquagility

On the other hand -
