Bit puzzled by unclued 42A - looks like the famous record company who failed to sign the Beatles but what's the last letter ? Never heard it used in the plural, nor with an 'n' to make it an adjective .....

(I spent childhood holidays in 22D so found that one quite easy....)

My 42 has the N and is a plateau on the Indian sub-continent (or something like that, it's days since I looked it up!)

Gerba, glad you liked the plateau Kirky and I settled on. I didn't like some of the unclued entries, they seemed a little random, tenuous.

Yes, all's well with me, and I hope you can say the same.

Thank you Drxx

I think I can safely say that I would never have figured that one out.

Can you help me with a full parsing?

Thanks again.

I think 'of' is doing all of the work here, fred - it's a very skimpy clue. Roots of (ie belonging to) remarkabLE VIctory = Levi (Roots).

Thank you again.

I just figured this out coming downstairs to look at my tablet again to see if you had replied.....which of course you had.

Doh! Is my only response to myself.

A dopey,
fred
