Just a comment - looking through these questions and answers I think that it must be possible (or almost possible) to complete this crossword without actually solving a single clue! This is unusual but I must admit that, while I usually solve these crosswords without help (other than a multitude of reference books and the web) I soon came to a halt this month.
I try not to look at any of these answers until I have had a really good go at the crossword on my own - but sometimes just using one answer on here is enough to start me off and I can then finish the whole thing myself. Some of the Saga words are so obscure, I can work out what they must be from the clue but then I have to look in the dictionary to see if the word exists! There are obviously people a lot cleverer than me out there and I'm happy to pick their brains sometimes.
