Hi Jono,

I wonder if I've got it wrong then. My "potter" is Ray - is that right?

Only the RA for artist is in the wrong order unless it's the R A that goes round the E and I can't see anything remotely resembling "equipment" other than (g)EAR?

21a - I may well have the parsing wrong but I think it's....

First three letters "used to be" + 3 letters for "sexy" around a single letter "you" - but it's another where the different elements appear to be in the wrong order so that's why I'm not sure.

Ah, no think much younger and more recent. In fact Abi says below that her daughter got a related costume for Christmas!

I'm at a complete loss then! I stopped watching the snooker years ago but thought I was pretty au fait with the names of the main players - obviously not! I read Abi's post and couldn't make sense of that either:-(

21 are yes that works, it’s U with a two word phrase for ‘used to be sexy’ doing the nursing

Ah! No wonder I'm going round in circles. I assume it must be wizard related so I'll have to hit Google.

Thanks Jono - that was driving slowly insane.

Thanks Chris, thanks Jono,

This is what I get when I put in an answer without parsing!

Jono. Re 25 ac all the bits are there but "posh" is in the wrong place if it's part if the fodder.
Also 5 dn doesn't work for me. How does "spaces in folder" give FILED? All of which, together with two iffy anagrinds in "flashing" and "guide". spoiled this for me.
