That is traumatic Suki my best wishes for a speedy recovery to your sistera-in-law.I have finished after a recheck,I only do the cryptic ones like this.I have been on the roll of honour 8 times.Happy quizzing to you too. Love Ray xx

Wow Ray - I'm extremely impressed - good on you. Very worrying time and I don't know whether to fly over but Vera's children and their partners are all being brilliant. I've managed to get her cell phone number so will ring her when the streets are aired over there. Eventually got the number from Vera's grandson's lovely wife Shelley whose 8 month old little daughter has just been diagnosed as being severely visually impaired. All seems to be going wrong at the moment. Waiting for 3pm BST and when it will be about 9am across The Pond. Love again S x We'll probably have the border guards after us for chatting too much but I've really enjoyed it and thank you for your very kind support.

I have now completed this quiz, but find I have one too many beginning with L. Going through my answers now and have doubts on Q.83 Prison dance (5)Currently I have an answer beginning L - would prefer one ending L
Any thoughts ?

Anotheray 83 does begin with L Think you have to be very lissom to perform this dance...uses a pole but not pole dancing. Last 2 letters something kids say when they try to make you jump.

For No.19 I have the name of a river beginning with L as the answer. Is this correct and, if so, where does the foreign banker fit in?
Any hint please?

Anotheray - thanks. Have solved nos. 6,20,37 &82. Further help required for 21.Shipping forecast - is this like Dogger Bank? 29. Is the court like a criminal one or a sports court? 33.Is it LEANDER, If so don't get the connection? 40. Still cant get the first word before loop. 70. Bob followed by anagram of laid - words like bobadil, boblaid, bobidal, bobdial and bobdali appear when anagrammed but most of them aren't real words and 86. still no further on with your clue. Oh dear - brain not working very well now but any further clues woudl be appreciated - thanks.

GeorgeIII, 'banker' is often used in crossword clues to mean 'river', as it flows between banks.

Hairemai, your list of words for 70 includes the right answer. Try googling them, one at a time.
