Early morning puzzlers. Bit of drizzle, thunderstorm might hit us here. Not easy. Trying to work out the setter. Unusual.

Well spotted. I just did that a glance and miscounted the letters. I do that too often. Will need to rethink the parsing. Still think that’s the word though.

Well that's pretty uncouth. So nothing to do with Perrier water, then? I thought the ING/Perrier anagram was promising, but one too many r's, anyway.

I remember a crossword from way back when half the clues were bodily functions! I have tried to find it but it's buried deep in my back-up files.FujiKiwi wrote: Thu Jun 17, 2021 9:23 amWell that's pretty uncouth. So nothing to do with Perrier water, then?
