Hi joevinwild

Welcome to a2k.

A couple of my friends gave me the answer as "SAT", but didn't explain why. Perhaps somebody here will verify later on, only 6.30am here presently.

Hi Dutchy
To explain SAT--when you sit down you gain a lap , when you stand up you lose it. Simple just like the cryptic clues. Laughing

Hi Jules

Have been doing all of Lovatts magazines for years and have only ever won a few small prizes, never a major one. Sad

So I must be an addict as I keep coming back for more. Laughing

Good Luck with your entry.
