After last week's Everyman, I absolutely loved it this week, a veritable feast I thought.
If I've got 6d correct the first word is very common in the Caribbean, my Trinidadian friend used the word in conversation with me a couple of days ago, in the context of sitting around chatting.
Also my local small town cafe does a very nice 18a, so it definitely can be found over here.
Thanks for explaining 2d, and all your hints over the year. A very happy Xmas and new year to you all.
