FT Polymath

[stew]

An odd kind of a GK crossword! Alors, I have had a problem with one or two; the main problem is the following:
15a An old kind of madrigal (2-2) and I have - - L -. but the other one is
15dBeing realistic (6,5) and I have - - C - N -, F - C - -.
With regard to the latter I thought second focus mightbe acceptable, is not correct! But I am not sure. Oh the lack of security.....
Thanks in advance, as usual. Stew

Facing facts! Thanks guys. I have never been very good at realism, ever since my Dad told me about the various wonderful daydreamers who can make a living - and they are still around...... working in the City etc! My Dad could afford to be cynical/realstic - ha had survived WW2 even though beombed out of air bases and almost stepping on a mine. If he had I would not now be writing this.... Funny old world..... Thanks again. Stew
