Thanks for the link, jazzy - lovely story (you have so many good anecdotes!)

I have just checked with Chambers 12th and it shows plural as crepes suzettes but several other dictionaries show crepes suzette

Chambers mistaken (again) I would think - I can't imagine ever being served a crepe suzette.

Delia and Nigella both say crepes suzette

One clue remaining to baffle me
15A Augustus returns to besiege Italian city, as sewers working
I have S*S*R*N*
any hints gratefully received

The 3rd letter looks wrong.

The sewers are sewing....
