Ladybee. Ref the town in Oklahoma I would be inclined to go for the word ending in A, as it reads backwards consecutively,with the required answer to the clue, if that counts for anything. Maybe you will still have to solve the 50-50 problem so I cannot tell you the utimate solution as I still have one to do !! maybe it wont matter as George 111 once said, we still have three months to go ?! It looks as though he may need it!
