Muraria, surely in that case it should be 'Lesser shells' so the subject and verb agree, i.e. removes it's outer shell.
I said earlier that the definition seemed OK to me, but on reflection I don't think it is Unio refers to the genus, so 'shells' is really needed for the definition. In that case 'Lesser shells' would work with 'shells' as an intransitive verb. Perhaps it's just a misprint.

Yes, fair point Dryden, all in all not terribly satisfactory if it's causing us to have this debate.

I'm sure this has been the topic of a Listener in recent years.

This puzzle knocks spots off the Listener & the EV this week. Oh.. and ..er, I live in Cumbria, have crossed R on numerous occasions, and have "done" the Three Peaks (Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough) twice. I was, however, completely unaware of any connection to a mad racing driver. Apart from the 3 PKs, the two "connected" towns, the crazy marsh, and the edifice itself, has anyone spotted anything else of interest?

Turast, I didn't particularly enjoy this one - I found it a bit of a chore! I much preferred EV.
