Thanks very much :)

in answer to the two words - I don't know I'm posting for someone else who hasn't got a computer and they just text me the question - Sorry

[Peter Pedant]

honestly I marvel at how some people can solve these clues

The OP states something like:

er er er wonk wonk er er er

and someone supplies: o it has to be " The Complete WOrks of Shakespeare " deffo .....

PP

It does help if
a) You get the full details of the clue, or
b) You've got the paper/mag in front of you, or
c) You've done the crossword already

oh or have a good brain as well :-)

pp, if you have an elderly person ring you for help, as happens with me , it's difficult to get the full details

[Peter Pedant]

I am marvelling at the solutions and the clever people supplying them

and not pointing at the clue setter - sozza if that werent clear

[Psybbo]

PP, that amazes me also and the speed!
