I'm back. Just a quick supper for the two of us and she released me as soon as I cleared away the plates etc.
Thank you so much Neveracrossword . I see the tuba and domesticate ones now . I was try to get A to mean large but couldn't convince myself. Rightly so! And I am kicking myself for not seeing do an me!!! But I still don't get the last word. I have looked, as you instructed me, at the last clue . But why is a viva (what is a viva? I know it's an exam because it came up in a different puzzle but I don't know what it examines) the last word.
Sorry I am being thick I now.
