Hi Allana

I have the following answers, perhaps someone will verify.

91a = piped

105a = foist

91d = pilferer

278a = synoptic

271a = ligurian

210a = diminish

Hope this helps, good luck with your entry.

Hi Allana
I have the same answers as Dutchy except for 105a where I have feint.I will have another look at this tomorrow and I'm sure Dutchy will also have some input.
All the best

Hi Tuesday & Allana

Here is my reference for foist for what it is worth:

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source foist (foist) Pronunciation Key
tr.v. foist·ed, foist·ing, foists

To pass off as genuine, valuable, or worthy: "I can usually tell whether a poet . . . is foisting off on us what he'd like to think is pure invention" (J.D. Salinger).
To impose (something or someone unwanted) upon another by coercion or trickery: They had extra work foisted on them because they couldn't say no to the boss.
To insert fraudulently or deceitfully: foisted unfair provisions into the contract.

Great thank you I have a jumble up in the corner need 76a

Hi Allana

For 76a you mean 76d no doubt.

75a = disparity
90a = triomphe
76d = surplice
77d = avocado
78d = imposed
79d = yielded
96a = liaised

Trust someone will verify above. Hope this helps.

Hi Allana and Dutchy
I can confirm Dutchy's answers for 76d etc.
I am still thinking about 105a. Think both answers could be accepted, would like to see some input from someone else.However I have to say Dutchy is almost always correct. Take a bow Dutchy.

Hi Tuesday

Comparing the two definitions I'm leaning towards 'foist', however it may well be that 'Lovatts' will accept either answer as you suggest. A matter of personal interpretation I suppose. Pity there is not more input from other puzzlers.
