Cheers, butterfly. I wondered if it might be that, but couldn't find it in any dictionary. Don't know why I buy these crossword mags, as they just lead to hair-pulling.

Hi Triffid,

Any time you get stuck on a clue, post it on the 'Trivia and Word Games Forum' under an existing heading or create a new one, and myself and others will do our best to assist you!

Hope to talk to you again soon.
