  2. Never realised that MACADAM was an & Lit.

    Mis-spelt OBEISANT and could not get the SPELL.

  4. Easy and enjoyable offering.thank you so much.Learned a few like Pieta,Lausanne.Though there were many COD's,liked 12d (cash) for its simplicity.A small doubt about 5d-how is MO,a British honour?

  6. It is not MO that is the British Honour, it is OM Order of Merit. HALO and OM returned is MOOLAH

    So with the mathematical type use of brackets the anno would be:

    5 - Mark of glory, British honour, returned for money (6) - ({MO}{OLAH})<-

  7. 25 - Creature found in Dabolim, a Goanese village (5) - IMAGO [T]

    As a person of Goan origin, a thought regarding the use of 'Goanese' vs. Goan
