Hi Lie-in King - clue to 11d is 'taking the most optimistic view' for which I put 'up beat' so have myself in a right fankle here !!! Thanks for any ideas
Thanks,Lie-in King - will go for ' at best' which I wasn't too sure about !! Fankle means getting your knickers in a twist, must be a Scottish expression as I've always said it !!!
