7 A. Checking text again....In the Down columns I have a Recital, Apiece, Intrusion and Greenhouse Gas still this reader remains confused.
Then 18A. Chill encountered in Artic expedition?
And how do you get Ciao in 22A?
Please help. Thanks
My turn to help you,
7A checking text again as "reader" is confused by misspelling of "gin" gives you "REREADING"
and 19A Chill encountered in artIC Expedition gives you ICE.
That's what I'm going with, but maybe we need confirmation?
Forgot about 22A, sounds like grub (chow) and goodbye in Italian is CIAO
Hello farkha and perthgirl,
Confirming -
REREADING
CIAO
ICE
(You did have RAMRAIDERS for 8D?)
Good luck!
Thank you perthgirl, lezzles for your reply. I did not have ramraiders for 8d - never came across the word earlier. Looked it up: it comes with a hyphen between the two words. I conclude that I am impatient with the cryptics - eg take 22a: even though I got the answer right, I missed the obvious 'sounds like grub'. Once again, thanks, both, for taking the trouble to reply.
Sadly, it's one of those words that has now become commonplace in the big smoke, with robbers driving cars through shop windows to get to the loot.
