Thank you very much boys,I did mispost the E for
which I must apologise.
Thank once again for your interest,
Jerry

Frustratingly, unless I have made an error (not unknown !), I am now a single letter short of completing 2541.

Can anybody help with 3d (Shakespeare's misfortune with Romeo leaving, gadzooks!) ? I have OAE?

Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan,
I think your E is wrong,3d Shakespeare's misfortune is WROATH,minus With Romeo ergo OATH,
Trust you are well,
Jerry

Jerry,

Thanks for that. Something had to be wrong - I had T on the end of 12a (the word meaning 'to eke out', i.e. 'stretch out time' as per the clue) rather than the correct word meaning genuinely or 'really'.

I'll take a look at Azed tomorrow. Let's hope it's easier than last week's !

Cheers !
Alan

Hi Jerry,
Last week's great visitors have just left!! I did download 2541 yesterday but did not have much success!! 1A would help get me started!! Hot and sunny here. Off to lunch!! Hope you are well.

Bonjour Bob,
Ia is an anagram of so all options which equates to
SALOON PISTOL (used in a shooting gallery)
Trust you are well and putting up with ggod cuisine
and weather,
Jerry

Hmmm, living in France with wonderful weather and "God Cuisine". Must be hell. ;-)

Cuisine still more than god!!! Thanks for 1A - will get back to brainstorming after a seista!!
Cheers Bob

11 down should be refuse stays. Not being able to turn.

Hi Spud,
I like that answer,is it a sailing term? I know if a ship is caught "in stays" it could be in trouble.
Thank you and best wishes to you.
Jerry
