Yes, alternate letters

[Gavmacp]

Yes! I completed it but required a lot of cheating which rather defeats the point of it, my least favourite for quite a while.

thanks folks, I couldn't see that at all. Don't like this new Obbo xword - he seems to have given us a few weeks with an easier x-word and is now back to his normal even more cryptic self! Sigh .... Cheers to all and thanks again. Chox.
