So, have you noticed how people begin a sentence with "So..." even when there is no prior context and no consequence ? I think it is a recent custom, probably evolving from a modern school of public speaking.
So, I have found 8 clashes. So, I am missing one ? Despite having solved all the clues and understood them all except 3 down ? The other thing I feel a little uneasy about, as I launch into 'wordsearch' mode (or fall asleep, whichever comes first), is that from the bottom row, 12th letter, it is more than a mere knight's errand to my next clash cell, which is the 5th letter of the 3rd row up. Sorry, that she read : "So, the other thing..."
So, I can't help feeling that something has been spilt which I shouldn't waste tears about...
