Hmm, I'm still mulling this one over. Is T = Tom a known/recognised thing in the world of crosswords?

Thanks, jazzgirl. There was no mention of it in Chambers and I didn't think I'd seen it used before. I feel it's a bit iffy! (The usage, not the answer itself.)

I wonder if it is a printing error ? T for Ton ?

I'd had that thought too, Jazzgirl - but 'Ton's pleased...' doesn't read very well.
