You're right cmk.

Take Peterm's Post 45 literally cmk and it should become clear as it belatedly did for me.

Peter/Ixion - still scratching my head. Are we referring to medieval land rights here? Even if so, I don't get the reference to 30 d (clue or answer). Must eat more fish.

Think Periodic Table cmk

discontenting those two words will give you elements of the answer.

Ahhhhhhh.

Now I can go make tea (not fish). Thanks to all.

Having struggled on to the end, I just need a tip on the "palatable alternative", which I can't see at the moment. Has anyone unravelled that bit?

I suspect the preamble is slightly misleading here GK...the answer that the wordplay leads to is the ones that stays(because it couldn't begin with L)

Sorry, I don't follow, ixion: understandably, my brain hurts! If you could put that a little more clearly perhaps without letting the cat etc..............

GK on looking at my answer again I'm not sure I've parsed it correctly, however I can't see past the answer(it's submitted now anyway!)

The smallest possible 26, 14 is a "p" - the defn part is "it can be packed" and "there's no such thing as a free ?????"
