Wendy:for technical reasons my 3rd attempt to answer you!First point:6d is Horde with ref to H.Orde (now explained in both forums)--I eventually sent off a corrected solution!Second point:anyone can contact A or any other setter via
crossword.editor@guardian.co.uk
---not that he's going to answer me,probably,as he was perfectly right (not even if we both went to THAT PLACE IN THE FENS haha).OK?No whoring,no hotline!And the worst thing is,I even remember that name H.Orde.Oh,well:still enjoyed the puzzle,and I never met the setter,like some lucky people here:saw those photos of his celebratory dinner when I was still an absolute beginner on this forum,about 9 months ago.Keep well,and out,as the pilots say.gk
