Hi,johnalex, I've just logged on again (after catching up with some housework) and was glad to see you got jackdaw. Never heard of it but googled it and read it. Did you know the poem or did you get it by googling "poem about jackdaw"? now to think about no3

Hi quinie - I have to confess I'd never heard of the poem, just had a hunch about Jackdaw, notorious thief. Then Googled "jackdaw thief France" to reveal Rheims, French town. Will now take a look at Q3, wasted too much time on Q22 but then I don't do these puzzles anyway, only newspapers! Regards, ☺ja
