Buenchico's Crossword 01/21

[Buenchico]

For the small number of nutters, oddballs and masochists here who actually seem to enjoy the non-cryptic crosswords which I occasionally compile, here's my latest offering:

I think that it should be fairly straightforward but hopefully you won't finish it too quickly ;-)

As always, all feedback is appreciated.

[Solution available upon request but I doubt that anyone will need it]

[Buenchico]

Hi Seekeerz.

I wonder how long this one will take you?

;-)

[seekeerz]

Haven't even seen it yet, so probably the best part of February xx

[Buenchico]

It's occurred to me, Steff, that a couple of my clues might only make sense to people here in the UK. So here are alternative clues for you, if you need them:

27a. (Generic) Spanish area popular with tourists.

58a. Characters created by Enid Blyton.

Have fun!

;-)

Thanks Chris, just printed it. I'll save it for tomorrow.

[Buenchico]

Have fun, Caran, and don't swear too loudly if you get stuck ;-)

[Caran]

Ta for answers Buenchico

Couldn't get 16 'cos I got the Chinese dynasty wrong !
Didn't have TV in the fifties because we didn't have mains electricity. Had to rely on the good old Start-a-Matic for lighting

[Caran]

Just finished it chris. Took me two hours. Got bogged down with long periods of time, I was being too technical!
Got there in the end though.

[Buenchico]

I'd never heard of a 'Start-a-Matic', Haras2 - but I'm always keen to learn!

Well done, Caran! That little group of 'long period of time' questions was put there to try to slow people down a bit. My ploy seems to have worked ;-)

[seekeerz]

Finally .......after 2+ days(not all the time) ....I got there....feel like I’ve been thru a blender - Chris either you’re a masochist or we are ...not sure which :))

How did you get on with your jab and trekking thru the snow ...any after effects?
