Got stuck, so I left it for a couple of hours while I did some gardening. Got it all now. Nice one again, Hannah! And thanks to the IT bods for fixing all the things I complained about three weeks ago!

Bump for funtimes.

18 across was winding me up, infuriatingly obvious once I finally got it.

Crossword was fun.

Hats off to Chips for his olive green attire. Well sourced! Was in a cafe in France last summer when a horde of German cyclists pulled up – and they were big on blonde and olive, and not irony.
