13 was the one I had most difficulty with as I was convinced it had to begin or end with L. Even when I'd worked out Armagnac from the other letters, and knew the drink had to begin with C, I was slow to cotton on. I became convinced that COKEL was a dialect word for a mess that had somehow eluded all lexicographers and the internet.

Jono, have you tried your hand at setting a full crossword? I think you'd make a good fist of it, especially as you have an impressive track record of understanding parsings on this forum.

Thanks for your efforts, jono. I did look at it, but I confess that I didn't understand the preamble, hence I had no idea how to construct the answers.

Chris, I had expected you to post that you had solved them all and were keeping quiet :) Even though I understood the preamble, my brain still managed to go to mush over 2 and 7 !
