Hi Chris,

2d - first 3 letters are given by "initially going up then..." and the last four are "caught in the".

Don't know who Dr Strabismus is 🤷

It is, Chris.

Okay, just Googled the doctor and you're right, he is associated with 2d.

Thanks Brendan and jono.

If I had remembered the monopoly tokens I would have been quicker! As I remember, the origianl ones were taken from the inventor's wife's charm bracelet.

Well I've finished finally but completely understand why it took me so long. It was the SW that held me up. I can't parse 21a, 22d or 24a.

FOI was 4d. LOI 24a. COD so many. But I think for amusement value 5d gets it.

Thanks Paul for a great prize. Still working on it.

Hi rocky
21 is quite complicated, but it involves 2 single letters, a two letter word, and a three letter word.

24 try fitting a T in your answer somewhere.

22d read upwards

21 think cockney
22 read from bottom up
24 re-insert a T and read as 3,5

Hi Rocky
I note that you are still working on it, so won’t give any parsing hints, but let us know if you want any!

Hmmm that went well for me!

Just finished my first run through, nothing apart from one possible so I’m joining the disheartened club!
