"the strains" indeed! ... We also have that test down South, as it were.

Congrats fj. Thanks Skye. Thanks for the votes, peterm and BBM, and thanks for the mention, Paul.

Inspired by FJ to post a belated clue;

Finest bread's toast? (6,7)

.....sic (hic)!

Sorry Skyewalker but I didn't have the time to enter this week.
Well done FJ.

The test is offered down here to all 60+s.
I'm amazed at the number of men who refuse to do it.
Most women I know do and one of my friends was probably saved by it.
Don't bury your heads in the sand and be sensible you blokes!

I'm sorry, I just couldn't manage a clue. Cheers fj.

The test is only offered to those age 60-74 in England, rossim. I think that should be changed, although you can get the test privately and I will when no longer eligible. I know too many people who have died of the disease and also know someone whose life was (in this case certainly) saved by the test. She had already gone (more than once) to her GP with symptoms and was put off.

Cummon guys, it isn't the most fun in the world but it doesn't hurt (unlike mammograms)

......and it's done by you privately in your own bathroom.

I certainly did not expect this, I thought my clues were too clumsy
I also thought I had voted but obviously it wasn't sent/didn't arrive., my vote was for peterm's 23 which wouldn't have helped you're headache sw.

Thanks to Seamus and Stevea for the votes.
Cheers to Sw for hosting and making the decision
Commiserations to Paul, Steve and Peterm.for just missing out.
Be seeing you.
