Thanks, Bernie. I couldn't get to grips with 1 A as the first sentence baffled me!

Tilly2, pace yourself with that puzzle, you have weeks to finish it.

I am working on the Goodworth Clatford quiz, NAC.

I'll get round to the Speccie, eventually.

Tilly2, every year I plan to set aside a crossword or two, to tackle when the others won't be published... and I never do!
