Well done Zardoz & AJT - no you're not boasting - we all help each other kindly on here usually without any nasty comments unlike "the other site"!!
I'm nearly done but can't get 5d & 18d despite having most of their letters - any clues please?
I had trouble with that one. 18 ac is another word for 5 d. You obviously have the theme(?) now/ The 4 letters (2nd/5th) in 5 d are another word for the first three letters of 43 ac - according to Chambers. Is that enough?
Well, looks like this thread is the live one, but I'm too beat to continue. Waaaay past my bedtime (04:30). Chat with you tomorrow.
Any hints re the theme would be welcome.
