Thanks ChrisE. As no one else had mentioned it in the midst of all the praise for the theme’s ’cleverness’ I thought I must be going mad.

“Green Goddess”, as a proper noun, is capitalised in Chambers and should be here.

It’s ok to capitalise to misdirect, but not ok to use lower case where capitalisation is required.

By way of example, it’s ok to use “Harry” for misdirection as a verb, but not ok to use “harry” as an indicator for the person.

I expect we were supposed to think of the lycra-clad exercise guru from a few years ago - Diana something?

Thanks chrise. I can see one sugar that fits but still can't get the parsing. Maybe there is another sugar. I think I'm being stupid. That's my firm ground. I'll get it eventually.

Hi again minno
Do you have all the crossers? They would rule out a more obvious sugar.

Got it now. There are two sugars! I needed to work through the alphabet to get the second one.

Cheers.

Nothing better than pottering around on a sunny day with TMS playing away...sound of the summer!
