Colmm, glad we could help.

PS I'm wondering when these puzzles first appeared - the references in them seem a little ... dated at times!

Hi Malone, I wondered the same yesterday and discovered “Book 3” was published in 2001.

Thanks, Jono - that's useful (I'll tut less now that I know quarter of a century has passed!).

Hi all,

I bought this book first many years ago.
This is my third purchase of it. I have solved finished each book by looking at the answers when I could get no further.

Now I am trying to link the answers to clues that I cannot work out.

Responses to date have helped greatly.

My ambition is to buy a fourth book, bring it on my summer holidays and see how many I can complete / remember !!

Next query soon.

Next one....# 34, 13A....Applause as drink's provided on taps?....Ans: Handclap.

Applause and handclap ok, but the rest of clue....No idea. Parse please.

H( hot) AND C (cold) + LAP

So simple Geting but forgot H and C!
Tnx

Hi all,

Next query....# 42, 25D....Put away volume of encyclopedia? Unlikely....Ans: Stow.

Please parse.

Hi Colmm

It's similar in construction to the previous clue. Volume of encyclopedia might doubtfully be S to W

Tnx Geting,

Would never have got that myself.
