thank you for your prompt and helpful answers. Any suggestion for 10a) please.

[catsrcool]

Got any crossing letters for 10 ?

[Jobowo]

6a news conference.
10a thankyou

[joncavo]

I can't get that answer either.

So far I have V-A-T-O-... if I have the down answers right.

[joncavo]

10A Thankyou, jobow. So 7D is possibly 'Nature'? I'd pencilled in 'novice'.

[Jobowo]

I have Nature for 7d and Weak for 5d Jon.

[bryand]

Many thanks for thankyou

[boxtops]

bryand, next time, it does help us if you give us any letters you already have, please.

[joncavo]

For 5D I'd put Seat for 'top of aster?

[Jobowo]

Todays is not so easy. Its Kew (garden, backwards)

[bryand]

Boxtops - regrettably I didn't have any letters when I posted these questions.

[joncavo]

Thanks for the explanation, jobowo. It makes sense now.

[PaulineinSpain]

I can see that thank you is the right answer (10a), but I didn't put it in as I was always taught it is two words, not one! When did this change?
