Thanks JJC hope its good where you are a little cold and chilly in Cambridgeshire. Thanks for help with 13a

I have looked in a number of books (Have hundreds) and think I;ve found cone shell AMMIRAL.

Its good to do polymath, I have a conway pen but always nice to win, I've won 2 lots of theatre tickets this week and will plan my trip I won to Melborne and Hong Kong. Have a good week.

Pega, you are great. It fits perfectly. Here in Ottawa it is non-stop rain and 15C. Not my kind of golf weather. Bon Voyage you lucky dog.
