[johnalex]

Thanx Sheba - yes, those two answers are cast-iron. What I meant was to intersect the 7 consecutive blanks (unless there are walls on both sides). Cheers!

Sorry to interrupt, johnalex - would 'Balustrade' do it?
(Anag 'a bad result' - "row of balusters joined by a rail or coping")

[sheeba]

Balustrade looks good still struggling with a few more might be back thanks for help

[johnalex]

Balustrade . . . anag: abadresult . . . Yikes, we missed it !

[johnalex]

Sorry Lie-in King - should have scrolled back. Thanks for your help. ja

[sheeba]

[sheeba]

your all wonderful 1 more instrument not loud at opening?
*u*e
can only think of lute but no idea why

[sheeba]

missed out half of clue
instrument not load at opening? get another one

[johnalex]

Lute . . . . (F)lute . . . . F=loud

[sheeba]

why does f = loud is it fortissimo i thought that meant strong

[johnalex]

. . . . to clarify 'P' and 'F' are always appearing in crosswords and mean 'soft' and 'loud', from 'piano/forte'.

[sheeba]

Thanks
I'm going home now another hard day at the office

[johnalex]

Me too, enough is enough, or as the French say at breakfast time, un oeuf is un oeuf . . . . ☺
