"Different" but not too strenuous today.

[maurice]

I beg to differ: I found it very strenuous as it was more than a bit different!

[bibblebub]

it took me a while before I realised what the instructions meant

Hi Daniel:

You not only introduced me to the Spectator and EV crosswords, you continue to coach me.
Your help is invaluable in solving English crosswords which at times seem impossible to solve.
Your help much appreciated,

Kiran

P.S. Thanks murraymints.

[kayakamina]

Yes well done Kiran

We have all been encouraged by more experienced solvers & it
says a lot for the generosity of the crossword family that they take
as much satisfaction from their 'student's' successes as their own.
My mentors have passed on but I'll always be in their debt.

[hankir]

Thanks kayakamina.
You are all very helpful and it's great to have such support.

I'd appreciate the gentlest of nudges w.r.t. 1d. I've done everything else and checked and rechecked but I can't find this in my Chambers. Is it one or perhaps two - either way I'm stumped ,

Thanks

[toalisi]

It is there.

It is the last of the letters in the series & is a dance.

[toalisi]

By 'letters' I meant numbers!

[toalisi]

Dear dear I'm not being very helpful.

The answer is a game & can be found in Chambers under 'meril'

[vinsculler]

Thank you so much toalisi. I had 9 lives at 42 so I'd never have found our morrismen. All sorted now.
