22a stop
11d no idea but it's got to be an anagram of dancer, spies and probably CI (which is the Roman numeral for 101)

@shirlz,
Hi Shirl
Thanks makes perfect sense when looked at. I have been travelling os for past two months (there and back every 2 weeks) and have just had to try and catch up when I'm back in OZ, my spelling is taking a dip for the dark side (aging I think) so once again thanks for all the answers.
cheers
