Hi Sudokulover Your warning re the JUMBO CRYPTIC is becoming meaningful. Though meaning is hard to come by in the clues. Its like wading thru treacle while looking for a needle in a hatstack. All the best. ( Have a dozen sucesses so far and am appreciating help from threads). Prob speak again soon

hello theambler - There are quite a few answers already given on here (with explanations luckily!) and on the answerbank.
It gets easier when you have quite a few filled in. I got 38a wrong when I submitted it on line - put hello instead of hUllo, so I'm kicking myself now!
Keep persevering & probably see you on here tomorrow!!
