Ah thank you bunty. Got it now. But I would never have solved that directly.

Some members of the Pedants' Union might argue that 'two sailors on vacation' should indicate TS (or TWOSS), but I think it's a decent clue, even if the 'on vacation' device is starting to get a bit over-used (not least by me, I'm afraid!)

Perhaps the P.U. would be satisfied if "both on vacation" with suitable punctuation had been used.

Yes. two (Hopefully subtle) Hints David.

I like what you did there Ginge.

Thanks Malone for correcting my omission...

Dear friends ( and Romans )
YES I THINK ITS TOSS

But how do you gerrit -- Please tell me!!??$$&&

TH

'On vacation' is a common (too common?) crossword device, meaning to empty, take out the contents of something... Two would be T o and Sailors becomes S S. TO SS, Toss.

Not trying to invade Malone.

T(w)o +S(ailor)s = Toss (and turn) = restless night.

On vacation means empty the contents of the words.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Shooty. What you posted is actually what I meant to say - but I was in too much of a hurry to word it properly!

Thank you one and all . Vacation (noted) Have a good day - snow thawing up here
