Wow! that was fast, thankyou so much, I can now get it posted.

Thankyou also, I have never had queries answered so fast, I have been searching for days for the answers to these clues to no avail where you and Shirlz answered them in less than 5 minutes.

Cyd if you familiarise yourself with your computer and install the proper sites you too can answer all those clues in a matter of minutes! They are all to be found on the world wide web! I have 60 sites stored in my favourites to fall back on when looking for answers, hardly use more than half a dozen at times.

Hi Dutchy,

Thankyou for your advice but I am not a computer whiz, would it be possible for you to tell me what sort of sites I should be looking for, I would be very grateful. I spent hours on the sites I found for those clues but they gave me everything else except for what I wanted so I am obviously looking at the wrong sites. Your help would be great. I thought I was familiarised with my computer, it seems I still have a lot to learn. Thanks again.

Have sent you a PM

I assume PM means private message, I have searched everywhere but cannot find it, thankyou anyway for your help as I have said before, I am not a computer whiz. I realize now why I cannot find it, I moved house and my email address had to change, it is now [email protected]. Hope you can resend info.

Indeed PM stand for Private Message. Now look at the top right hand side of the a2k page in front of you where you will see cyd : Inbox ( ): Log Out: Search.
Now if there is a 1 0r a 2 in the bracket behind your name you have a message.
Click on Inbox and it should come up.

Thankyou so much Dutchy, you have helped me no end, I have been going on a Thaurus site but I think it is American and their spelling is different on some words. I will enjoy my crosswords more now that I have this information, thanks again also for telling me how to find my Private messages.

Pleased to be of some help Cyd.
