NAC, Your perseverence seems to be bearing fruit.
Thanks, Danny. After 500+ (600+?) of the Spectator puzzles, Matakari probably doesn't need the AB assistance as much as he thinks he does!

Thank you, Novalis. Could you explain that please.
Eco = green, n = knight (chess notation)+ tra (painting reversed)
Eco (Green) N (knight in chess) + Art, back
Sorry Novalis, thought you'd missed Tilly's request.

Thank you both.
No problem Mamya. Better 2 replies than none.
Dear solvers, I am totally stuck on my last clue to solve. It’s 13 down which doesn’t seem to have given anyone else any problems. Perhaps I have a wrong answer. I have PE?SIN?. Would anyone be able to help please? Thank you.

Thank you so much Novalis. Much appreciated.
Why was 12 'whap'? I know that's a word meaning beat or hit, but I can't see how it parses. I thought the solution was 'wrap' - w for wife, rap for hit = wrap for cover up.
must be a misprint ...surely it's W RAP
Roslyn, Jaylogan, I've checked - and Whap, beat, is correct. W is wife and Hap is 'cover up'.
Thanks, nacw. I now see 'hap' is in Chamber's under 'cover up'
Thanks, JayLogan. I'd seen your query at the weekend, but didn't get round to doing the research ( a quick look in Chambers!) until today.
