Hello, Elle!
I have it, at last, I think!
"on reform, tip included"!
In cricket, "on" and "leg" mean the same as regards the pitch, I think.
So, "leg" for "on" (in clue), "alter" for "reform", and "end" for "tip".
Giving "legal tender".
D'ye reckon?

Hi, Rusty!
A shame that Pete Sagan was just beaten.......
I do not understand your reference to a "Team Mystery Package" rider?
Who or what is that?!
Yes, I think you have it, with "on" meaning "leg" - I just looked up "on" in Bradfords and she gives "leg"!
Well done you!
It is good you have parsed the clue!
All done now, then!
Daughter rang and it is going to cost upwards of £500 to replace the clutch in her car...... I think the huge expense is mainly down to labour....
As the car is over eleven years old, she is considering getting a "new" one, rather than paying out for the clutch.
I can see her reasoning.
Right, I must away and plan dinner...no idea what we shall have!
I shall raid the fridge.......
Have you eaten yet?

Good evening, Elle!
Team Sky are the "mystery package" team that has a Parliamentary enquiry ongoing just now.

Well done, us!
That appears expensive for a new clutch to be fitted.
Labour costs may well be dear in your daughter's area.
Yes, I have had my tea.
Bacon and cabbage and a choc ice.
Was very nice.

Hi, Rusty!

Sorry, I was rather slow on the uptake there!
Yes, I think it is having a London postcode that puts the prices up.

I am just about to watch "The Voice"..... it starts in five minutes.........I do enjoy it.......

Hello, Elle!
On YouTube I was looking at dancing!
Clog dancing and jive mainly.

And several clips of Linda Ronstadt.
Boy, can she sing!

Hi, Rusty!
All finished for now!
And I misinformed you........the public had to vote for four (out of eight) of the contestants, not two, as I said previously.
So all in all, with the judges' four choices included, there will be eight singers in next week's Semi Finals.
It should be good.
Yes, I agree with you; Linda Ronstadt is a great singer.
I am still a Katie Melua fan most of all though!
Can your granddaughters do either Irish or Scottish dancing?
(We learned Scottish dancing at school!)
Back to Insurance policies........ I agree that it is worth shopping around, price wise , but one needs to bear in mind that the cheapest is not always the best......

I know I mustn't "advertise" but we certainly didn't choose to go with the cheapest premium, but with the best options to cover treatment and care.

Moe than happy to join in on rugby. Do you think a new thread might be a good idea; for fear of being submerged on this one?
