I think re last weeks Xword that one of my letters must be wrong. If I change the second N to a T I should have the answer. Sorry to bother you about last week`s puzzle on this thread.

Managed everything except 18 (a)
Any clues please or is something I just won't know?

hi cantersue
18a name of the actor who does the voiceover for Grommit (anagram of tireless pal)

Thanks Jazz girl. I will keep you posted about the wild flower `meadow` It is partly laziness to save me having to cut the grass. But I am looking forward to hopefully seeing more butterflies etc.

This weeks crossword just started so will not seek my usual help yet!!

cantersue: re post 13 I should have said Wallace, not Gromit.
Hi again Mondrian
That's a brilliant labour-saving idea, and so good for nature. I saw a Red Admiral in the garden a couple of weeks ago, the first one for ages.

Thanks jazzgirl. Tried an anagram but couldn't see it.

I guess you've solved it cantersue. He played the part of Clegg in "Last of the Summer Wine"

Good Afternoon, All. A fine day it is too.

What an unusual name for a chunk of cheese. I masnaged to get it through the word ply and by filling in the blanks with what looked like a word, but had to Google for confirmation.

Thank you all for your kind wishes. Yes, the Jag is purring along like a (no so) wee sweetie. The final bill from my local garage was just under £400, a saving of £2000 on the original quote. God bless the wee independent garage.

Best wishes to all.

I always feel like a car having an MOT when I get into a clunky MRI - will be having one in the next few weeks! Pipesmoker - glad your car is running well - mine is off to the MOT soon so fingers crossed. Now - Help please on 24a as cant figure out what the 0.0833 refers to!
