I have a possible answer to this, but four of the five groups I am considering highlighting are so obscure that I suspect I am on the wrong track. HAs anyone else found well-known groups of letters to...
Perhaps a bit easier than it looked (though in fairness whenever Shark is the setter I anticipate a seriously tough challenge!), but still a very lovely piece of work by Shark, and a delightful -- and...
I enjoyed that (I had a slight sense of deja vu over the theme, but if I'm right I hope nobody will give the details until after the closing date). I did it in rather an odd order. With about half the...
Pick me Up Magazine - issue 15 - big crossword - Can you help me please - 1 down - erect in posture - ???o?o? 8 across - pixie style boots - two words - ???l? b?o?s 14across - disregarding the...

Another rather gentle exercise with easier than normal clues (perhaps perforce) and a not too complex endgame, neatly tieing up all of the thematic material. Will be interesting to see how solvers...
Fairly easy gridfill, followed by some head-scratching over the instruction. A lucky search in onelook.com's reverse dictionary led to a possibility; my reaction was at first "no way", followed by...
