So does 'times' (multiplication sign).

What does that make 50d if second letter is 't'?

Stale.

is th topical theme christmas or the honours list or what please?

The connection appears to be 'ten', though somewhat tenuous in some answers.

thanks will try that

Mobee, I think 'dime' is the solution to one of the other unclued lights.

Thanks. Have 2 left of the "10" 70 ac . Have ?o ?e?? . Can you help

Every year I have a grumble to myself about this puzzle. Unlike Myops's Christmas one (excellent in every way) it's never symmetrical and the grid is dreadful. The SW corner is linked by only one down light and contains no fewer than three thematic lights, which are effectively unched. I too struggled with DIMES/TIMES, each of which of course works, and the suggestion that DIME appears elsewhere (in the poor corner) leads me to think that TIMES and therefore STALE are correct. Why MCC can't construct a better grid I can't think. Pity the green bottles aren't there, especially today.

I have got "Bo Derek" for 70ac - she is in the film "10" with Dudley Moore
