Thanks Rocky, I'm pretty sure your you'll see us off next week without too much trouble - I'm resigned to it.

58a - definition is "warning that's read" (I'm sure it's an old term but still used by parents of naughty children)

letter 2 -5 inc. are the Greek letter

Oh 58a. Of course it is.

And I had the wrong answer for 35a but there is an alternative word for cargo that does fit.

Happy Easter all - and thank you for hints that helped unravel eg 67ac. My final bugbear is 54ac: I've replaced two letters with a symbol in a synonym of what I assume is the definition, and it fits with the crossers, but I can't make any sense of the remaining 6/7 words in the clue. What am I missing?!

judy - with an i it's a shade of blue ... I didn't know that either!

Oh, thank you, prospero – and fascinating to follow up!

Gosh it is obsessive, but lots more to do. My friend in Sheffield hadn't understood that the symbols are all different. I've got one or two more this morning, but keep getting stuck. What is the symbol for 20ac. I have the answer, but couldn't work out which three letters are a symbol. Is it the first three?

What is Liam's band in 68ac? I have the second word. I'm mystified by 7d. Who is Lola and how does she come into the clue. I've also got the second word for 45d, but I'm not sure of the first. I would be grateful for any help with any of the above. I now realise how hard it is to solve all the symbol clues without any letters, especially when I don't spot the symbol. I can't get 57ac either.

Hi Roof,

20a - the symbol is the first 3 letters (assuming I've got it right) - it's an arc but it's best if you just Google "symbol for ???"

68a - Liam - one of the infamous Gallagher brothers:-)

20a - yes, symbol is first three letters put into in the first light - I had to google the symbol. Also had to google Liam (Gallagher, of course) and the band he formed after Oasis. 57 is a word for shifts (having different times doing something) around common abbreviation of each.

7d - Lola Lola is a part played by a very famous German actress - 3 letter "pass", 1 letter "time" and 4 letter "prosperous"

Lola is a song from The Blue Angel and Lola Lola is the character 7d played
