41 across: The answer looks like Shannon but don't know why it is? Have S-AN-ON.

102 across: The potter didn't shop the fixers. Really stuck on that one, I was thinking something about Stoke City but can't get anything to fit in to -i----s, that is right.

105 across: That one is another headwrecker, the answer to 96 down is Giants but still doesn't help me much.

Which ones are you stuck on?

They had a corrected version of the crossword on Wednesday which gave the answers Bull and Meirless. They have his name spelt wrong due to an error.

The giving answers is getting a bit lobsided now, I'll give you time to try and work some of them out and if you are really stuck at the end I will tell you some of the answers.Happy

you'd think they would have the thing checked and double checked.

It took up a full page of the paper.

The Mereiles/Bull had me wracking my brains for 2 days.
