I know it's Monday and most people have finished ages ago but I'm stuck on 56a, Duke went fishing and displayed a lure (7) I've got D-N-L-D. I bet it's obvious to everyone but me

Dangled

Thanks Mamya. (Break it down for the uninitiated please!)

Mamya seems to have returned to her 1st love,knitting.
Duke=D plus ANGLED = Dangled

Ah, thanks Joker. It's obvious when it's explained! I'm still learning how to do these crossies but they're great fun. They take me a bit longer than most I fear but I'll press on and try to get a bit faster. Thanks for the help. Great website. Bye for now.

You are very welcome Susie.
It takes a long time to master cryptic ones but you will improve very quickly if you keep at it.
It has taken me years to reach my present stage of mediocrity, but I am a slow learner.
Glad you like the site.By and large they are a friendly and helpful group.

Thanks so much for the welcome, Joker. It's taken a while to pluck up the courage to post a message. (Just call me Wilma Flintstone!) I've actually completed the Jumbo - hurrah!!! Now I've dived in I'll look forward to next week and hope it's not a monster!! Bye for now
