Captain2, glad I still had my copy nearby - and yes, the correct clue works wonders!

 

[Neveracrossword]

Daij, glad we could help - I'm sure you'll take more care in future,  having seen how much difference a missing letter can make!

JohnT, yes, Shark is still correct!

[Daij]

Many apologies for my errors. 

[Captain2]

It's OK, Daij, just a little storm in a bra, sorry tea cup. 😉

[Neveracrossword]

Daij, you were a little unlucky - someone asked for an Eye answer last night, and didn't give the clue exactly as it appeared. Captain2 and I probably raised massive sighs when your missing letter affected the answer!
