Hi Canada
Your clues come from our Lovatts Colossus Giant Cryptic downunder.
I've checked contrex submissions against my entry and found them exactly the same.
Good luck with your entry.

Hi Greenee
I have "'hold out' for that one.
Will be at Campbells this morning looking for crosswords magazines.
Have a nice weekend.
Thanks heaps.
You will only be able to get crossword books from there as Ihave already bought the winning xlotto ticket......LOL
Have a great day. I have tennis with the kids, no relaxing for me.
You can buy me a beer at the Flagstaff Hotel if you win Greenee.
