Good luck, Speccie addicts, with this week's Dumpynose. I'm away for August, so you can all have a lie in on Thursdays for a change.

Thanks again for the link Ironie and enjoy your month away.

I found this a very strange puzzle with some odd clueing, and was left feeling a bit let down.
I hope others get more enjoyment than I did.

Some strange clueing indeed! Can anyone enlighten me how 16 across resolves itself? I am confident I have the three crossing letters...

Rob (do) on P (second of April) = PROB (thing/problem)

[Ironie]

Thanks K. Seeing 'thing' as the definition of 'prob' was just too obscure for me, I must admit. I cannot fathom the title either, to be honest, but that doesn't worry me overmuch.
