Lulu,
a. The name of the man who was the Deputy Fuhrer, around German word for 'east'.
c. An &Lit clue, where the whole clue is the definition. Describes what a tourist might do. 'Stops' means the last letters.

Hi Lulu,

c - "stops" refers to all the final/stops letters and also part of the wordplay as it's a Cornish word for tourist.

I'm actually doing this puzzle at this very moment and hadn't actually solved those two yet so was too slow off the mark:-)

No problem, Brendan. I found this quite a workout. It was only when I guessed the letters for the coloured cells that I was able to fill in the central area. I think I've finished, but I have 2 entries for 'af'.

Thanks Mattrom,

So far I've only entered the letters for B,C,D,E and G, although in fairness to myself, I only started it about 40 minutes ago and I'm also watching season 6 of Game of Thrones so ...

Mattrom,

af- have you got a 5 letter abbr. of a 10 letter 'financial instrument' - I'm not convinced I've got this right?

af - I have a slang term for money or profits, a double homophone. The same word appears twice in my grid.

Yes Mattrom, ignore my previous post, I thought of it just as Hodor was "hold(ing) the door" and clearly didn't give it enough attention:-)
