Hiya Crypto,
Thanks for that. I tend to work from the Chambers Dictionary, and the word for the answer to 24d) is in my new print dated 2009 under its own entry. However, I donated my dog-eared 1993 version to my mum, and I have just phoned to check, and she assures me that its not in that one. Never thought to check earlier prints, So it was a tad fiendish.
I can't see what is questionable about the answer to 4d). Could you please explain what you meant.
Cheers. Les40
So I do apologise
