@jacaranda,
Hi jacaranda

A friend Interstate scanned me the puzzles so I can make a start, working on the Stinker presently, not an easy one once again.

Cheers
Dutchy.

@smithy,
Hi smithy
I think Return on investment is ROI
stiff upper lip is PHLEGM
Good luck!

@ragnel,
Thanks ragnel
Have now finished but will need the final check. Just received prize in Cluewords 91, haven't had any luck for some time.
Persistence pays off. Keep on puzzling.
cheers

Thanks everyone for the answers. Dutchy, this crossword is one I have subscribed to so I get it a few days earlier than the shops. Helps sometimes.
In all I subscribe to 5 of Lovatt's and have to buy the others.
Congratulations to Smithy on winning a prize - I'm still to do so.

@sweda,
Hi sweda

I was subscribed to all of Lovatts magazines until this month when I let it lapse. Their deliveries are to inconsistent! I used to get my magazines up to a fortnight after friends Interstate which is not good enough. How can I ever be first in to win a Gremlin? I've complained to Lovatts but they say the deliveries are out of their hands. Will buy the magazines from my Newsagent in future.

@Dutchy,
Hi Dutchy,
I too subscribe but have the same problem as you at times. Was lucky with this colossus and was also lucky enough to jag a gremlin. Stinker grid page, up top in red box reads coossus 135. Yeah. Now have 2.

@shirlz,
Hi shirlz
Congratulations on your Gremlin win. I only got my Colossus today and also spotted that one, but now not in the race. LOL

Dutchy.

Return on investment is ROI - wouldn't you just know it? Ann. (A newby!)

Re. Stiff Upper Lip, it's PHLEGM. Word used in U.K. a lot - at least when I was a child, years ago!
