In connection with 3D, I mean - sorry, this is my first post on this forum.

Thanks all. 2d is good, but I don't like having to find FRASCATI (not an obvious wine), then take odd letters from that.

I think a Frenchman would find it surprisingly formal to be asked "Comment ca va?" - "Ca va?" by itself is near universal, I think.

Hi ged - welcome.

It was 2d rather than 3d I was asking about, in fact.

Thanks ChrisE - I had the answer but thanks for the parsing. Like you I wasn't impressed though.

Hi loverman
It was actually rh142 who gave FRASCATI

Last one. 26, 24 across. I've got -b-e, -a-o-e. The obvious name of a musical instrument fits 26a, but don't know what 24a can be. Any help gratefully received.

Read it as 4 1'5. I suspect your first word is correct.

The last letter of 26ac and the first three letters of 24ac are the cheese (Dutch).

Thank you so much, ChrisE and Barretter! Got it! It's something I've not heard of before. I thought the answer must consist of a type of 'lout' and 'cheese', but couldn't figure out the 'hollow one'.

Hi, Chrise. Sorry about missing your post, I've just returned from a weekend away. I assume that you have now resolved all your queries!
