Hello Matakari
I'm happy to help again, but only hints! You do need to practise on less demanding, albeit quite cryptic crosswords. I'd suggest Telegraph cryptic, monday to saturday and Telegraph Toughie tuesday to friday.
Again I'll bookmark this thread!
Ciao
Actually I had 9 and 21, but was not confident about them. Thanks for your advice...I shall be checking out the Telegraph...Is there a link available for them? Thanks again!
