20d...Comic Arthur eating hard fruit from tree....?S???Y. This must include ASKEY somewhere but I am buggered if I can see where !

26a...Number in reverse like operator in 9...9 is all to do with blacksmithing, so I guess BLACK could be right but where does NUMBER come into it ?

Mikey, You are right with 26a and are nearly there with 20d. Araucaria has been a bit naughty because it should be 3 & 3 rather than a 6.

Thanks badvest....the second word must be KEY, but I am still at a loss...I will have to give this some more thought !

ESC KEY ?

mikey, the number is a Latin one in a word for reverse. And the other one is the floaty thing that falls from a certain tree according to my Mum.

so is the third letter 'H'?

the 3rd letter in 20 d is H

thanks - I can go out now!

Bugger ! I never knew that the seeds from an Ash tree were called Ash Keys...we used to call them helicopters as kids.

Apparently, according to the internet, you can pickle and eat the bloody things !

As Alice once said, curiouser and curiouser !

Only just had chance to look at this.
