moobius - this is a splendid puzzle that deserves a bit more traction than it's had. Apologies for being late, myself: thank goodness for a Bank Holiday. You've made a heckuva lot of progress in 6 weeks or so and this is pretty polished. Yes, Fez and Gobbo have picked up on some specifics that also caught my eye but there is a lot of really good stuff in here and the queries are few. Ticks included: 1a, 6a, 19a, 24a, 26a, 2d, 4d, 5d, 14d, 20d. Spoiler in reply. Thanks. PM
