Thanks both.
Didn’t know the word ‘knot’ in reference to sandpiper.
I have to say that since being made aware of the site ‘Onelook’ (possibly by you Jo?), I do manage to finish Everyman much quicker than before.
Wish I could crack Saturday’s Guardian. Always a disaster.

[scorpiojo]

Possibly, G. Would you like any help with the Guardian?

[Jennykenny]

Thanks Jo, but I have given up with it.
With the exception of Paul, I just turn the page and come to terms with my lack of ability.
