Hi sudoku!
I'm on the same lines as you.I think our questions been answered as to 21d. It leaves us with saunter. Am I right in thinking that 7d and 16a, give a silly stroll and lope??
18d still has me bemused with the wordplay.
Thanks for you help.

Thanks. All ready for the post now. I've not been doing the ev for long, but it is very addictive. I have found myself with nearly every dictionary going I think!!
May I ask what the spectator is in?? And should I put myself through the challenge?
Many thanks.x

The spectator is its own magazine. Every Thursday morning usually around 7.30-8ish,(over on www.answerbank.co.uk/crosswords) someone gives us a pdf link to the crossword grid for us to print off and the game is afoot!!(You don't need to buy the magazine - the printed entry will do) I've only been doing EV for a month, but been addicted to the spectator for about 5 months. It's a similar crossword to EV but it's usually a bit easier - same idea though, find the theme, fill in unclued lights etc - have a go tomorrow! Last week's was the easiest ever and was called 1966 ttiao - iin! All about football in 1966(they think it's all over - it is now)if you can remember that glorious year! There is always a thread on here for answers/help with clues. Maybe see you on here tomorrow! xx

You don't have to go to answerbank.If you google newspaperdirect.thespectator you get a choice of sites, and the first is usually smartedition - this is the magazine. This will give you an online edition of the Spectatot, with thumbnails of the pages in the righthand side. Run through these until you get the crossword page - near the nend - and you can then print the crossword.

Thankyou to both. I'll get a copy and have a go tomorrow. Hope I can pick your brains if I get stuck. It'll be nice to have a different challenge. See you tomorrow!! x
