ditto

Hello, Elle!
My juice was fine.
I could have had something else, but there are things on the menu and I have no idea what they are.
Like panini, melt, wrap, etc.
So, I settled for the juice and the young ones promised not to leave it so late next time!
Regarding your puzzle, there were three that took me some time to parse to my satisfaction.
3d, 7d, and 21d.
"Caesarian" is fine, for me.
I had only watched Viktoria Rebensburg in the skiing, before the girls turned up, so I do not know won.
There is great camaraderie between the female skiers.
Wish more sports would be the same!

Sorry, guys, I'm really not understanding this. The clue is:
Incisive way to bring issue to light
What else could this be referring to than a Caesarean section?

see my post 13 on the other thread. Chambers rules OK by me.

Chris, it's just that some of us are quite happy with Caesarian meaning 'incisive way to bring issue to light' as Chambers states that the word Caesarian can mean 'adjective, relating to (a) birth carried out by Caesarean section. noun, a Caesarean section'. The word Caesarian is in the dictionary, fits the definition and seems ... unproblematic.

Why do we have a sub forum for crosswords on a chatty thread ? Other solvers would not see it unless they were nosey?

ChrisE, I agree with you on the spelling issue - See my post 14 on the
other thread.

Pigale, I can see why you feel the way you do (about the spelling), but the Chambers definition specifically gives 'Caesarian = Caesarean section'. Not agreeing with a spelling isn't really relevant as the answer (defined as it is) fits the clue!

On YouTube, there are dozens of "Caesarian Section Ops" videos to watch.
Caesarian is fine.
