Been answered as Them

thanks been back a page and found Terry's poststill do not know why 22D is Legion it fits vast number but where is the majority shareholder bit?

LION is the majority shareholder (Lion's share and all that)
Say is EG (example given and all that)
Put LION round EG gives LEGION

Thanks - did not know a majority shareholder is a lion thanks and hasta la vista from a sunny day on the COsta

Vast = Legion

say = eg

Lion, as in lion's share, maybe?

A majority shareholder is not a "lion" in the sense of stocks and shares - even in Spain you must have heard (for example) a football commentator say "Chelsea had the lion's share of the ball" or someone at the dinner table had "the lion's share of the meal"
