I rather muddled through this cleverly constructed puzzle guessing how down entries were entered before knowing how across entries were entered. However a couple of slapdash entries held me up for a...
Hello EV N&Cers Started off by entering the answers to what I thought were quite easy clues, and ended up with an awful lot of clashes! Then the brain sort of marched into action. It became...
29d. What's common to his and her hearts? (4). I have ?ISH, not totally certain about the S. Obviously several words will fit, but where is the definition?
