Last one left to do. Sound of wind? Gosh it's cold round island. *i*r. Not sure about the 'i'. Any help please.

Hi barny
One of several I didn't like - Wikipedia doesn't recognise it.
What might you say if you're very cold?

I didn't enjoy this much - a lot of loose clueing and definitions, one arguably wrong!

Hi Barney, I think it's BIRR (A sound of wind) - it looks like:-

Gosh it's cold = Brr as in "brr! it's cold" around I(sland)

Thanks Chrise. Just got it seconds before your help. Couldn't agree more. Also must be quite straightforward as I've finished really quickly

Sorry Chris, when I started my reply your post wasn't there, but I'm a really slow typist - still use one finger, believe it or not!

No problem, brendan, though we tend to give clues on Guardian Prize puzzles rather than actual answers.

Finished all but two in this less than satisfactory Prize. Hints would be good please for...

20d S _ A _ T _ (Parched, needing water and wine)

22d M _ C _ (Biblical widow had more than one small child)

Thanks!

You seem to have 24a wrong

Hi Chris.

Ah! My answer seemed to work, it means a piece of film inserted into another as a kind of link. Breaks down into a 2 letter chemical symbol for a metal plus a 3 letter word for a metal.

Hmmm........ will give it some thought, thanks!
