Souxie, I've noticed you do the i cryptic every day. Did you work out the very clever linked clues yesterday about ' what the Romans did for us' ?
Question Author
Many thanks to you both.

brainiac I struggled yesterday( as I do most days) and that was one of many I did not get.
In yesterday's puzzle, if you read down the first letter of all the clues in order it reads: WHAT HAVE THE ROMANS EVER DONE FOR US. The ten linked clue answers are things from the Life of Brian that are said when someone asks the above question - ie aqueducts, sanitation, education, order, peace etc etc. Very clever cluing!
