Cant thank you enough, tc - i had Gyrose and have never heard of Emu Parade - will have to see if I can find driedl now.

[alanogden]

Has anyone solved the difficulty of 30A DRIEDL and 21D SYNDICATE?
There must be other ways of spelling DRIEDL which I can't find.

[alanogden]

Oops - the one in the dictionary is DREIDL

[Lie-in King]

I've been unable to locate the needed 'dr IE dl', but have assumed it's correct in the compiler's mind - unless they've access to a better dictionary than me?..

[shaneystar2]

It's in Bloomsburys Concise English. alt sp.

[alanogden]

Thanks both, that's settled it!
