Many thanks all - that'll do me.

IF 17a is Carp then 18d cannot be spoof - the letters then for 18d would be

The 'Latest Posts' is going through so fast one does not even have the chance to click on to a question, so how can we expect to get answers.

I don't thing my CARP will be right

[factor-fiction]

I don't THINK it is!

[scorpiojo]

Perhaps it's bluff?

^ for 18d

[factor-fiction]

In answer you your carp, poorclare- I don't see what can be done other than to stay in Crosswords (or Q&P). It's good that AB is so popular at weekends

[poorclare]

It just I blinked and it had gone Factor-fiction, I think there should be a way for it stay a little longer, other than scrolling up and down continually.
Not to worry we shall get there.

Barb

[boxtops]

I'd go for Barb too - a carp's much too big for an aquarium!

[dannyk13]

Aquariums can be quite big. e.g Seaworld and similar exhibits.

I am like a fish out of water when it comes to aquariums
