@Dutchy,
Thanks dutchy sorry about the missing clue numbers (I usually include same)
have been having a few senior moments lately.Now correcting 66 dn to Positing has changed 83 ac from CURACOA which I thought was correct to CURACIA which I don't think is right or am I looking for a word for GU?A?IA.(almond liquer) Possibly 76 dn is NGA and not NCA as I have at present the other crossing words look right.philcottie

@philcottie,
stinker 83 ac if this is RATAFIA then this is now sorted will someone confirm this for me , no need to bother looked in the dictionary and is correct.I had a couple of crossing words incorrect ,certainly glad to put this one to bed and for an 83 year old is definitely a challenge.philcottie
