Next on my list to do.... check video ;)
btw I have just run through about a dozen videos before offering them to charity shops. Not one shop was interested. I then offered them to anyone for free on a freecycle site but I couldn't even give them away.

I had a friend (or possibly I heard it somewhere?) who replaced a fridge, and put the old one on the pavement with a notice "Free to anyone who wants to take it". It was still there two days later, so he changed the notice to "£50 - enquire within" - it was gone in half an hour!

I've given away loads of stuff on "freecycle". One item was a half-used tin of enamel paint. A very talented artist collected it and then emailed me photos of his fabulous artwork using the paint.

Some clever clues today! I particularly liked 20 ac. If you haven't got it, think golf.
But I am totally unclear about the parsing of 22ac. I am sure that I have to right answer - the name of a vitamin, but fail to see the significance of the rest of the clue.

Read the first 4 letters of the answer backwards.

Thanks Chrise. - So obvious - I tried that but missed it. I suppose I am not very good at reading backwards but had no trouble with 7ac!

Chris
I have watched the video. Still as funny even though I knew almost every line. Nothing was cut, and "otto" the autopilot shared a cigarette afterwards........

You need to watch it lots of times to pick up what's going on in the background (particularly in the control tower scenes).

"lots of times" ? Surely you can't be serious.
OK you are, and I'm sorry I called you Shirley
