Thanks everyone. I've gone completely wrong all the way through this one.

I had Antic for 6d - subject twitching about work (5) So that is wrong!

I had "eight times three" for 27a Twenty four points (5,5,5)
and that is wrong!

I think I should scrap this one and start again!

What should I have for 27a and 6d?

I think 24 points are eight score draws in the Pools ?

[barbrajay]

Thanks Mazie, you're right! I'd never have guessed that - though I ought to remember from years ago when my Dad did the pools! I've never done them, so it didn't ring a bell.

Well done!
