Happy to help. It's always a lot easier to parse these once you've been given the answer- I may not have been able to work it out from scratch.
Why do crossword solvers still refer to sex as 'it' or 'the other'? Do people still use those expressions or were they just used in the 60s/70s?
Thanks, dannyk- I'll take your word for it as I wasn't around then. I only hear the expression nowadays when I watch an old Carry On film or On the Buses
