agree with retrocop...except 11a is 'transferee' (anag of 're-enters fa', i.e. only 2 'r's).

[retrocop]

Thank you Michael I was just double checking that one as I realised the anagram was there but transferee could'nt initially be found by me in my dictionary.You are quite right.

[bryand]

Good morning and thank you retrocop and Captain2 for your prompt and very helpful answers.

[retrocop]

Good morning bryand.Missed you last Friday.

[bryand]

Thank you michaelmph for clarifying eleven across.

Hi retrocop, would you believe it I took Friday off to concentrate on writing Christmas cards and wrapping presents. Didn't even buy the Daily Mail.
