Solving the radials 6,7,8 led me to the solution for the first perimeter clue. This proved invaluable, as the other perimeters then fell into place. There are some right so-and-so's in the radials, and the last six I solved took nearly as long as all the rest. Another great puzzle, with no ambiguities and no grid staring - which I loathe with a passion. I used to didn't mind it so much, but the damned hare spoilt it for me.

I had the same experience, taking ages to get the last five or six clues after I had the theme, the message and the keyword.

The "i am not a robot" business is getting ridiculous. I was shown a number of poor quality pictures and had to decide whether they included a bus. If this carries on I shan't be visiting this site again Life's too short.

'Chocolate bar' is a brand name. Enclose BIT within it (minus last letter and minus T)

The Australian name for small sausages also means 'goodbyes'. Revolutionary is the usual three letters.

Scottish individuals is ANES. the definition is connected with prosody.

murky - oddly, the robot test I get only has a tick box with no pictures. So not as intensely annoying.
