Just sealed it up for the post - generally I thought it was disappointingly easy compared with the last two, 1147, 1148, which I thought were satisfactorily challenging to the gearbox - but the Saboteur halted the completion of the thing for several hours - succumbing finally only to brute-force serial letter substitution - even then, part of the word-play didn't make any sense - I was thinking 'cork?' until the inevitable Eureka!-moment
These Jumbo Cs are characterised for me by the wordplay not generally being a guide to the solution, but often rather a separate puzzle to be worked out backwards from the only credible entry - as exemplified by this Green Saboteur.
Gimme that old hard shoe.....
No cheats, no lookups, as is my rule.
