Thanks MM. Something to do in the gales!

[barryjbutler]

Thanks as usual MM!

[roslyn251254]

Thanks MM - got the theme early which is a;ways a great help!! Onwards to the finish now!

[kayakamina]

Thanks again MM

What a difference with last week!

[kayakamina]

Am I correct in saying that there are alternative solutions to 22d?

[roslyn251254]

K - I went with the "LL" ending, but only because it was in both in Bradfords. Seems it could be either in Chambers? Dilemma!

[Nical]

Kayakamina - that's what I wondered too, re 22 Down. I felt there was two options for the last letter, and one seems as good as the other!

[Bootlebarth]

22d is unambiguous if you follow up 'shoulder' and 'split' in Chambers

I can't see a hyphen in any of the theme words when looking at images of the items they name

[Crackabilly]

Struggling to see 13a, I have TI?O??

[roslyn251254]

Your "O" is wrong
For 3d if you add am (morning) to your answer you should get "the new world"

[Crackabilly]

Thanks Roslyn251254, but I'm still not seeing it.
I tentatively had "EpoCh" for 3d (world), but this can't be right!

[roslyn251254]

[bibblebub]

[mad max]

Thanks for link as usual

[haggis58]

All done but is 41ac oyes or oyez?

[kayakamina]

Oyez - hidden & reversed

[Crackabilly]

Don't know whether anyone is still there, but struggling with last three:
12a ?Ro?D????E
6d ??T?r?So?
10d A?G?lS
Any hints?
