Going great guns, thought of finishing without the usual assistance - ha - fat chance - I am stuck on 3 in the bottom lefthand corner - all hingeing on one another viz 19 across (5 -4) Poet's perky lass needing abnormal grit, left in charge F????-GIRL: 20 down (5) Old people's home overlooking dump ??C?N and 21down (5) Indian's nick leads to 2 hopeful appeals - not answered (??A?A) - I had thought Funny Girl but neither the N nor the Y help for the first letters of the other 2 - I would be most grateful for any assistance
Thank you Slaney and Factor-Fiction - just this minute back in from walking the dogs. I had presumbed girl but now I think I recall something of the kind from my school days 60 odd years ago!
