Sat.D.T GK 5 across

[Edward Gould]

The only answer I can find is GUANGZHOV but this does not fit at all. Any help will be appreciated.

Is 21 down SMOKER?

Help need with 27 down please

[MaryDou]

The answer I have for 5a is KWANGCHOW - sorry but as yet am undecided on 21a but it does look like "smoker"

[JoolsTwo]

We have SMOKER for 21d

[Spelling Bee]

Kwangchow

21 down is smoker

27 down is Blue Ribband

Hope that helps!

[JoolsTwo]

And we have BLUE RIBBOND? for 27d

[gardenknowin]

This place can be spelt several ways - I reckon GWANGCHOW if favourite as it fits with WELT, CONURBATION and WILLLOWPATTERN

[TheMikeCool]

we've got Gwangchow for 5 across and blue ribband for 27down but stuck on 28 down - any ideas?

[gardenknowin]

Oops, sorry, meant KWANGCHOW

[gardenknowin]

27d is blue ribband

[Spelling Bee]

27d is confusing. I've used Blue Ribband as checked out in connection with the Queen Mary liner etc. Phrase is most commonly associated with sailing records. It is usually spelt with one 'b', but here it needs two to fit!

Sigurd for 28d

[Iolanthe]

5A KWANGCHOW is an alternative spelling to the more usual GUANGZHOu

27D BLUE RIBBAND is alternative to the others given

28D SIGURD is the alternative name of the warrior Siegfried
